This is the ancient Celtic celebration also known as
midsummer, or Litha. On this day we glorify the Sun and honor the role of fire and
its part in Nature, healing, & spirit.
The solstice marks the astronomical beginning of summer, and
the astrological beginning of the Sun’s passage through the cardinal water sign
of Cancer.
A few simple rituals may help you to welcome this time:
Fire ritual - Burn (literally or symbolically) that which you
no longer need in your life. Ritualistically release that which is causing you
pain or suffering (habits, thoughts, outdated situations)
Getting organized – it’s a great time to set an intention
for what you want or need over the next six months. Take stock, write down your
prayers – that which you need the Universe (the Goddess, God, Higher Power,
Existence) to help you with.
Meditate – in Nature, ideally!
Sun salutations – honor the Sun with this simple yoga series
of Surya Namaskar
Remember, this can be simple!
Even if you are not metaphysically or ritualistically
inclined, honoring the seasons gives us a deeper connection to Mother Nature,
to our internal wisdom and external world, and to the rhythms of life.
With love,
Erin
