LOVE NOTE

Hello Bright Light, 

Today, 6/20, is the official first day of summer and I want to wish you a “Happy Summer Solstice”. Especially in "light" of the challenges, in our lives and in our world, it is so important to keep our spirits strong and our will to shine our light determined. 

Celebrating the LIGHT that is present will increase that light! 

There is something ancient in my soul memory that loves to celebrate this Cosmological event each year, as a time to celebrate the light of consciousness within ourselves, each other, of Creation, and the Divine!

How about you? Do you celebrate Solstice? What does "Light" mean to you?

When I first learned about the Solstices and the Equinoxes, it made perfect sense to consciously align with and celebrate these Cosmological events. I love thinking about the relationship dance between our Sun and Planet, the dance between light and darkness!

The “Summer Solstice” is the longest day and the shortest night of the year! The 24 hours with the most LIGHT of the year!!!

At this point in my life, after many elaborate and FUN celebration rituals in years past, I’ve noticed a change in my expression. Today I feel called to simply tune in to the energy of the Solstice through contemplation and meditation. My plan to celebrate is to experience the essence of Summer Solstice directly in my Body & Being and to simply bask in the inner light and maybe do some writing. 

If you have time today, and feel called to celebrate "Light" with Solstice ritual, here is a simple ceremony that I often share with
my friends that you might enjoy too.
 
"SUN WHEEL" MANDALA: A SOLSTICE CEREMONY

Create a "Sun Wheel" or Mandala on the earth or even on your kitchen table. These are symbols of the circle of life and relationship with Earth. They can be large or small, made from flowers or other things found in nature, or from items you treasure around your home.

See what these beautiful young maidens made in the photo below. Use your creation as the centerpiece of a ritual of your choice. You can set an intention, meditate, light a candle and say a prayer or make a wish, take a nap, or have a party, all with your creation at the center! At the end of your ritual, to symbolize the fulfillment of your creation, you can dissemble your centerpiece…until next year!

However you choose to acknowledge today's Solstice, may it bring you more “LIGHT”!
