The pinnacle of solar energetic peak is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and a time of heightened solar energies. In many cultures, the summer solstice holds spiritual significance as a time for renewal, transformation, and healing.
This day is also celebrated as International Yoga Day. Yogis especially perform Sun Salutation, a series of yoga poses dedicated to the sun.
Summer solstice time is seen in many traditions as particularly potent for focusing on self-growth, prosperity, and spiritual awakening. The abundant sunlight is not just a physical source of divine warmth and light; it’s also an energetic force that can illuminate our journey towards internal transformation.
On this special day, let us harness the healing energies of the summer solstice with Reiki and meditation to rejuvenate and replenish our own energies. Combining the potential of the summer solstice offers holistic approach to personal wellbeing and energy enhancement.
Reiki and meditation can be adapted to incorporate the energy of the summer solstice towards healing, vitality and energy enhancement in various ways:
1. Aura Cleansing
During the summer solstice, perform aura combing and aura brushing outdoors in the sun. As the sun’s energy is falling over you, visualise that solar power is cleansing all layers of your auric field – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
2. Chakra Balancing:
Perform chakra balancing with Reiki symbols to cleanse and open energy channels in the body, allowing the life force energy to flow freely through your energy centres and within you.
3. Reiki self-healing
On this divine day practice self-healing with the intention to harness the sun’s energy, directing it to areas in your body and mind that require healing or balancing. This will stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities.
During the summer solstice, this practice can be particularly potent as the universal life force energy is abundant and vibrant.
4. Meditation
Meditation encourages mindfulness and presence, fostering mental clarity and tranquillity.
During the summer solstice, practicing meditation outdoors can help harness the healing energy of the sun. Meditate in a quiet outdoor space. Visualise the radiant energy of the sun entering every single cell of your body and filling your entire being with its vibrant healing light. As you breathe, feel this absorbed energy circulating and uplifting the positive energies within. Experience the warmth and light of the sun permeating from your body, charging each cell with its vitality.
5. Mantra Chanting
Mantras are sacred sounds to attract cosmic energies into the body. The sacred sound “Om” is the seed of all mantras. “Om” chanting is believed to stimulate healing frequencies in the body.
On the summer solstice, incorporate “Om” chanting into your meditation. Allow the sound waves to carry away any negativity or blockages. “Om” chanting will help you to align your frequency with the powerful cosmic rhythm of the summer solstice. This will lead you to feel rejuvenated and harmonised.
Simple add-ons can be made around the solstice to align with its energy. This could include drinking Reiki water, eating fresh, seasonal foods, and waking up to the sun.
So as the sun shines at its brightest, take this opportunity to illuminate your path to wellbeing by harnessing the power of the solstice.
Love & Light!
