June 2022 - The Light Within

Beautiful Bright Solstice Blessings!

We are at the height of the summer when the sun is at its highest point in the sky here in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the longest day of the year. The cycle of the sun is a good reminder to notice the waxing and waning of the cycles of light and life in us.

Are you aware of the light within you? 
What can you do to nurture and celebrate the light in you?

I was born in the late summertime and find this time of year to be my absolute favorite time.  I'm enjoying all of the delicious local produce that is available at this time of year, as well as the longer daylight hours to spend both my early morning and evening hours walking in the warm summer air. 

I often find myself taking just a few moments each day to connect with my inner light and give it space. I welcome you to try it too.

1. Get into a comfortable meditation position. You can lie down or sit, whichever you prefer.
2. Close your eyes and begin slowing your breath to a calming, relaxing rhythm.
3. Feel your connection to the earth underneath you providing you with a sense of groundedness.
4. Next sense into where the center of your light resides in you. Focus on that place.
5. As you continue to breathe allow that light to expand with each inhalation and exhalation.
6. With each breath, imagine that light expanding until it reaches the edge of your body, filling you up with your own light. 
7. Continue to breathe and maintain this sense for as long as you’d like.
8. When you feel ready, gently bring yourself back to the space and open your eyes.
