Today is Mid-Summer, the Summer Solstice. This is a time of magic and love, as penned by Shakespeare. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are living in the moments of the most light of the year. Solstice means “sun ceases” (originally from Latin), and it is at this point that the sun stills, rising and setting at its northernmost position on the horizon the few days before and after Mid-summer, drenching us in almost unrelenting light.

This year, the inescapable light of Summer Solstice shines in every corner of ourselves, radiating our luminous selves and illuminating the dark hidden spaces deep within. This is the moment to embrace ourselves as whole—to love, honor, and cherish each thread of our cloth.

In this moment of solstice, in this moment of stillness in the unremitting Light, spend a moment to find your center. Breathe in to that place, feeding it with love and support; for with a strong stance in our center, we can open wide. Open to being grateful for everything that has been illuminated, the desirable and the difficult. Expand to encompass the wholeness, the holiness, of it all.

This Mid-Summer day, let’s hold precious each thread of our existence; breathe in the magic that is the cloth as whole, as holy, and unfurl ourselves to what only we can be. For therein lies the gift to the all.

Blessings of the Light to you this Mid-Summer’s Day!
