Blessed Being, the solstice is a powerful time of shift. It is a time when the sun’s energy is amplified or diminished. Each have a necessary and beneficial flow.
As your solstice arrives, there is a turning point marked by the cycles of Time.
As the sun’s light amplifies or decreases, your body senses the shift and responds, as do the plants and animals around you.
There is not one uniform response, even within each hemisphere.
Different plants react in unique ways that diversify the experience, providing an opportunity for sustainment and adjustment.
Celebrate Cycles
As your year is at a turning point, either moving into an amplification phase or contraction phase, what impulses are you feeling with your own energy?
Amplification
Even as the amplification phase begins, it is the deeper preparation that this season represents. How have your past choices and actions prepared you to climb? What path suits your future?
The solstice amplification (northern hemisphere) marks a depth of inner changes that build into a greater external creation through Time.
Contraction
As the contraction phase begins (southern hemisphere), it is a time of actions that are fortifying a future of creative flow that gets refined and readjusted through your conscious choice.
As the sun begins to retreat its light, you are still experiencing great illumination. This opposition understands that movement is always going in one direction and priming its opposite that is soon to come.
It is the nature of Time’s cycles.
No matter the flow, solstice celebration is a welcoming embrace between the Earth cycle and the human experience.
While the details of the human experience have changed, there is a deep knowing within you of preparing for the cycles ahead, even as you appreciate the cycles past.
