UMS Summer Solstice News
Hello Everyone!
Happy Full Moon Summer Solstice to you all. What an amazing time this is to be alive. If you live in the northern hemisphere, I encourage you to take some time on the Summer Solstice (June 21st, the longest day of the year) to meditate on all that the year has brought to your life, all the growth and changes, and all the gifts received, through many guises. Feel how all the growth is culminating in some way, at this time. Take in the energy of the sun, the life force, at this, the strongest time for it's physical manifestation.
Here in Arcata, the sky is blue with a few clouds, there is a persistent cleansing breeze blowing, and flowers are in full bloom all over town. The spring season has brought much movement to the planet in terms of wild weather and watery fullness, as well as some shifting of the earth's crust. You may want to take a moment now to include all beings who have been challenged in many ways to survive and thrive in your thoughts and hold a space for their lives to be blessed with balance, growth, and awakening. You can just close your eyes, take a few deep cleansing breaths, quiet your mind, and open your heart, expanding out to include all these dear ones in a loving embrace. Though we are all on our own specific path, and each being's lessons and experiences are unique to their own path of growth, we are truly all one consciousness, and we can hold ourselves in the many in this loving embrace, having compassion for our many collective challenges and experiences. This is much more helpful and effective than feeling grief, sadness and helplesseness in the knowledge of all the suffering that is being experienced at any given time on the planet. Just holding all of our brothers and sisters on the planet in a loving space, energetically supporting their growth and awakening, is the most powerful practice we can do to assist conscious evolution on the Earth. This is even more effective if done on a daily basis. Try it for a moon cycle, and see how it feels. You will likely find yourself feeling much more deeply connected to all beings on the planet, and to the growth and awakening occurring in each moment all over the Earth. This deepening of your awareness supports planetary awareness in a powerful way!
Summer is the season for feeling the fullness of our life, and expanding within this natural cycle. Take some time on Saturday to walk on the beach, work in your garden, take a hike in the forest, go for a swim in the river...be in nature (take your shoes off!), out in the brilliant rays of the warm, gentle, life-giving Amaterasu Omikami (Japanese sun goddess). Find a place in your day, even if you have many commitments to keep, to rest in your awareness for a few moments. Affirm how you reflect the energy of this beautiful light being, how you radiate warmth, love, peace, and life-supporting energy to all beings. Feel how you can expand your awareness to be very large, like the sun, and how you can offer your radiance to all of life. Be sure to include your own loving heart in this meditation!
Many Blessings to you all for a beautiful Summer Solstice, may your inner and outer gardens flourish, and may you realize the support of the whole universe in your Awakening!
Namaste
