Honoring the Light Within

“Nothing can dim the light which shines from within”

- Maya Angelou

Hello Beautiful Soul-

The Summer Solstice is almost upon us, and it is a great time to align with Sun energy to celebrate our brightness and nourish the light within.  

The cycle of the Sun represents the cycle of our lives and reflects the natural flow of energy moving inward and outward. There are times to grow, times to pause, times to shed and times to learn. Just as we align with the Moon’s journey every month, Summer becomes a time to work on ourselves and our ability to BE the light.

 

One of visual meditations which I like to incorporate often, is to connect with the Sun’s rays and allow the Sun to activate every cell in my body.  This powerful exercise allows me to first, clear any stagnant energy which I am carrying and energetically set in motion a period of awakening and enhance my consciousness.  

 

I invite you to add this meditations/exercise to your daily practice and witness the potency of your light and the power which lies within.  

  • You can begin by sitting in a comfortable surface.  Take several cleansing breaths (deep inhale through the nose or mouth and a forceful exhale through the mouth). 

  • Allow your awareness to connect to your breath and take a few moments, and notice.  Notice your body and how parts of you are feeling.

  • Place your right hand on your solar plexus (above your navel) and left hand over right.

  • FEEL as you inhale and exhale in your belly.  Take your time and connect.  

  • Begin to imagine the Sun’s light beginning to grow in your solar plexus.

  • Imagine and notice the Sun’s hues of yellow, orange, red colors becoming brighter and it’s rays radiating out as you inhale and exhale. 

  • As you continue to breathe, feel into the light expanding to different parts of you clearing out anything that doesn’t serve you. 

  • Allow the light to ignite, reaching every cell in your body. 

  • Breathe the Sun energy up to the crown of your head, out to your fingertips and down to your toes and visualize all parts of you lighting up. 

  • Draw the light into your aura and enjoy the feeling of peace and expansive energy surrounding your entire being.  

When you are finished, take a moment to reflect on how you feel when you tap into your light? 

I wish you a joyful and bright Summer Solstice!  

In gratitude and much love,
