Summer Solstice

SUMMER: THE SEASON OF THE VISIONARY

As we sit on the verge of one of the most powerful times of the year, the summer solstice, we rest in the Eastern glow of the rising Sun.  The rising Sun represents the birth of Spirit in the flesh, the birth of intuition, and it is symbolized by the Visionary.  The Visionary seeks to live an authentic, fearless, wise existence marked with authenticity, truth, and deep compassion.  The Visionary faces east, toward the light of Being, and extends her hands out to embrace others, and give of his endless abundance.  The element of Summer is fire, which represents the immense inner fire of courage, discipline, and love that the Visionary is informed by and seeks to embody.  We celebrate the Solstice, and the rising of the Eastern Sun, by embracing challenges and inner fire with openness and tenderness.  Giving birth to the Visionary within ourselves, we turn to the East, bow at dawn, and smile...knowing that all the power of the Sun is within.
