We’ve endured the cold and hibernating months of Winter and we have felt the invigorating renewal of Spring within us. Now, we enter Summer where we are gently reminded of all that we have planted so far. As the Sun comes out bright and early it welcomes us to do the same. The sunshine beaming through our windows invite us to get up and get out onto the world. It is as if we naturally recognize the innate connection between the sun’s light and our own. It is as if we together become One. We naturally incline towards spending more time outside, connecting with others, vacationing, and we soak up all the warmth around us.
The Sun is connected with the energy of Yang or masculine outward energy. It is connected with the element Fire which brings upon passion, intensity, outward expression, and movement. This captivating element is precisely what allows us to feel that sense of outward activity during this season.
Since ancient times the Sun has represented a sacred energy. It is the powerful energy that offers us joy, vitality, and life. It nurtures us with all the vitality needed to live and to thrive. It is for this reason that this season naturally awakens us to our fullest power. We naturally feel inclined to show up to the world and to show up fully. We wake up filled with new ideas, we reassess what needs to be modified, begin to rebuild our nest and begin to blossom in new exciting ways. Let us feel the gratefulness of being alive, of doing what we love, and doing it with full awareness and love. All the vibrant colors around us during this season also remind us that we too are creators of our lives, our life masterpiece! Like the Sun we too without a doubt can shine in our very own authentic way by tapping into our very essence. When we allow ourselves to do this we naturally invite others to do the same. Each of us have our own unique talents and gifts that are meant to be used in this lifetime as our service to others!
What people, places, and experiences allow you to bring the best out of you? What experiences allow you to feel your truest self? Do more of that! Sometimes we have an endless “to do list” but how many of those activities truly nourish you? I invite you to nourish yourself with what enlivens your spirit and rekindles the light within. Remember, this season naturally invites us to create, grow, and expand both inwardly and outwardly. It is a time of play yet a time of “work”. But I assure you that if the work you are doing aligns with your soul, the “work” will naturally express itself as joy. The transformation that can occur when we allow our natural creativity to flow is an experience of deep spiritual meaning in the most easiest of ways.
Cheers for a heart-warming Summer season!
