Happy Summer Solstice
Today marks a special occasion.
The sun, the most important celestial body in our solar system, is at its zenith. The summer solstice is a once a year occurrence that epitomizes the strength and life affirming power of the sun. We cannot and would not exist without the nourishment and sustenance the sun provides to us and for us.
Here are three ways to honor this year’s summer solstice:
Anoint yourself with an essential oil that reaffirms joy and vitality. Scent is a profound way to ground and be present in the moment. Oils of rose, geranium, orange blossom, or peppermint are lovely and can be used alone or as the feature scent in a blend. Place intuitively on your body to infuse yourself with good energy and positivity.
Recite affirmations that remind you of your strength and power. Stand in a dynamic position of welcome with feet apart and arms wide to activate the energy field around you. Choose affirmations that invoke vibrancy and remove fear. Some of my favorites are I am strong and capable, I am divinely protected, Everything unfolds for my greater good.
Make an offering of fresh flowers or fresh fruit. Place on your altar or in a sacred place to show honor and gratitude for the nourishment the sun provides. These offerings also beautify your space and raises the vibration of the space around you.
