Summer
begins in the Northern Hemisphere tomorrow at 7:09 p.m. EDT!
As
you probably remember from high school, the solstice’s timing depends upon the
instant the Sun reaches its northern most point from the Equator. The more direct rays cause the Earth to
warm and voila! It’s time to hit
the beach!
There
are many energetic shifts normally taking place around the Solstice, and some
people say the celebrations of 2012’s first day of summer will be more
important than previously. That
may or may not be true, but the Solstice does bring eleven hours of sunshine,
and that much daylight can’t help but perk up a body!
Solstice
also brings changes. This is a
great time to examine your fears and let go of the past. If you notice anger infecting your
mood, take a look at the root cause, which may not be obvious, then thank your
anger and let it go. The emotion
is there for a reason, but unless you recognize the basis of the negativity, it
will return, causing anxiety or fear. The more you let go, the more room you will have for joy and
inner peace. After all, you have a
lot more light available to use for illuminating the dark corners of your
thoughts during Solstice.
You
may also use the Solstice to plant the seeds of what you wish to see in the
world. This is the season of
growth, after all. Sit down and
make a list, or at least think through, what you’d like to have happen in your
life over the next six months to a year.
If you are so inclined, offer your list to the universe at 7:09 p.m.
tomorrow, with the intention that only the highest good for all concerned comes
to pass.
Check
your list in a few months – do you still want the same things and have they
arrived? Or perhaps something
better than even your best dream has come into your life. Don’t be afraid to dream big and leave
it up to the Universe to make your wish come true. Most of all, understand that you deserve to have all the
wonderful gifts you can imagine and more!
My
best wishes to you for a wonderful Summer Solstice. I hope all your newly planted dreams come true.

Gorgeous pic of Stonehenge. I always feel a strange yearning to be there when I see pics like this. :-)
Glad you like the photo - it came up when I put Summer Solstice images into my browser!
Great post Ashantay. I've always enjoyed the different solstices, somehow it seems to connect us to all time.
Hi Ashantay, really enjoyed your blog here.
I enjoy each solstice in its own way. With the Summer one I will enjoy the Sun Light and the Heat, feel it's blessings & healings.
Thanks so much for your lovely words.
