June is a very embodied time. We have fully arrived in the solar season, and yang energy prevails. Yang energy is a masculine force that is associated with activity, warmth, and light. It can also be described as expansive, energetic, and positive. Yang energy is represented by open spaces, bright colors, and hot environments. And here we are, ready to get our there and spend our days and nights open to whatever comes next. It is natural to feel present and connected in Summer. We are comfortable with the overstimulation. We feel rejuvenated and curious. The whole world feels magical. It is so easy to try and savor every last bit.
This is the time of pleasure and fun. Summer carries the energy of vitality and the feeling of an ultimate connection to our lives. We feel like we have returned to our true self. Feeling confident and full of life. It is the culmination of the sun's power, it is the culmination of our power.
There is also a dark vulnerability in the power of the sun...burnout, fear of missing out, working too hard, playing too hard. It is easy to get distracted. Making it all that much more important to keep ourselves anchored and have boundaries around our energy. Rest and mindfulness will always help keep us in check. We have to taste both actions and balance them to truly enjoy this bountiful season. Work hard, play hard, rest harder.
The rising summer energy is powerful for acting on our intentions, making things happen, and growing our creative projects, our relationships, and our practices. As we head in the the solstice portal - with so much manifestation power available it can get hard to decide which road to take and where to go next.
So.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, underwhelmed, stressed, indecisive, and/or exhausted, remember to:
Go outside. Go swimming. Nap in the sun. Play. Rest. Stare at the moon. Stare at a tree. Meditate. Dance. Sing loudly. Go berry picking. Eat wild foods.
Do whatever you can to connect to the positive attributes of this world and remember it’s always time to ground yourself and that Abundance. Is. Not. Fleeting.
May we all be blessed with a lovely, rich, fertile, and pleasurable June.
