INVITATION OF THE SUMMER SOLSTICE
We are on the cusp of the Summer Solstice the longest day of the year and the gift of the return of the Light
The summer solstice for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere marks the beginning of the Summer. A time where we can celebrate the Light, renewal, fertility and the potential for a good harvest.
What that all means for us spiritually is, in the Spring we plant the seeds of our becoming and now in the Summer we nurture, feed and attend to those seeds. We utilize the gift of attention, love, compassion, divine action where needed, being fed by the elements of sun, water, earth and wind and we keep weeding out that which stands in the way of us growing to our highest potential.
I also honor the Summer Solstice with the gift of ceremony. I have been trained and have been privileged to facilitate the creation of despachos for over a decade and bringing them to those who which to participate. We create a living bundle/prayer offering to the great Mother thanking her for all she has given us. This allows us to come into ayni/right relation with this time of creation. We always give thanks for all that is given in order to be in alignment with what we have come to create.
We honor the Sun that gives energy to us both literally and spiritually. The Sun has always fed us, but these days the codes coming through are that much more powerful. These codes that are being shared are pertinent to the times of the new age that is upon us. It will upgrade our system to be able to step into the new homo-luminous beings we are being birthed into. We are in unchartered times in some ways because we are birthing a new being within a generation. So, we are all going through our own internal deaths of the old ways, into more illuminated ways of being and showing up in the world. The beautiful support we need comes through practices to bring us back to stillness (mediation, journeying, writing, walking in nature, breath work, yoga etc.), the sun and water that nourish us and cleanse us, the earth that gives us everything we need to sustain on this planet, and the air to created breathe and movement.
The invitation is to spend time outdoors soaking up the nectar and codes from the Sun, if you can do so sitting on the Earth with your back to a tree all the better, spend time in gratitude for the gifts you can receive doing these simple things. Become a steward of this planet by showing up first and foremost within yourself, become an activist of Self. What internally within yourself needs tending to or healing? How are you polluting especially the Earth with your toxic thoughts and actions? Be mindful how you feed the Earth and those around you, are they things that will light them and you up or not. Spend time tending to your internal garden and that tending and energy will vibrate out and touch all those you come in contact with. You become the ripple that can change not only your world but the world around you.
My prayer is we create a RIPPLE in the World!
