Do you ever get to the end of a season and wonder where on earth the time went?
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice is just around the corner. This time of year can be extremely busy with travel, time with family, and days full of more sunshine and play. It’s easy to let it all get away from you!
But no matter where you are in the world or what season you’re in, we all lead full & busy lives, and it’s easy to get lost in your busy-ness – unless you make the conscious effort to slow down and be present.
It’s in the moments of slowness: quiet intention, reflection, and practice that we grow as individuals. These are the moments when we make meaningful changes in ourselves, as well as meaningful memories.
With the Summer Solstice here, chances are you’re feeling those full-swing-of-summer vibes. But what if you made the decision to spend this summer, and this solstice, differently?
What if instead of letting it all pass you by, you took advantage of the lightest and longest days of the year to get really present in your life? To take a deeper look inward and to revisit your intentions.
What if you made the conscious choice to allow the sun to illuminate what needs shifting in your life and in yourself?
If you’re craving a feeling of change, transformation, and renewal – the Summer Solstice energy is here to support you in your efforts!
Harness The Summer Solstice For Renewal
There’s nothing more frustrating and disappointing than the feeling of setting intentions, and then pausing and realizing days, months, or even years have passed you by and you haven’t made any meaningful progress.
Although growth and personal transformation are a lifelong journey and we never “arrive,” we can absolutely claim certain periods of renewal, and we can experience true change in our inner worlds.
There are certain times when the energy of the Universe is ripe for setting intentions. We get little opportunities like this each month at the New Moon – and then a few bigger ones through the year. The Summer Solstice is one of those moments.
Historically, the Summer Solstice fell right in between the time to plant crops and the time to harvest, which meant it was the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate. Maybe you aren’t growing your own crops, but you can still take advantage of this centuries old tradition and the energy it carries by taking time aside to evaluate your dreams and intentions for the rest of the year.
This magical event offers us a chance for renewal and an opportunity to recommit and bring more energy to the things we wish to create.
How To Use Oracle Cards For Renewal During The Solstice
When it comes to checking in with your intentions and realigning your energy toward your desires, Oracle Cards are the perfect spiritual tool.
You can use Oracle Cards to open your mind to new ways of looking at a situation or an area where you feel stuck. You can ask them for guidance or information about your intentions and how you can bring them to life. And you can turn to them for validation and confirmation that you’re making the right decisions.
Whenever you need a simple way to pause and get present with yourself and your intentions, or to tune into your intuition, Oracle Cards are there for you.
What if you made the decision to schedule these little check-ins with yourself throughout the coming season, and then notice what begins to shift in your life and your outlook as a result? You can use Oracle Cards, or you can simply set an alarm on your phone each day and spend a few minutes walking in nature, journaling, or meditating.
Imagine doing this every day for an entire season and what it will feel like to look back on this time. I’m willing to bet you’ll feel extremely proud of yourself at the end of it all!
