Why the Summer Solstice Means So Much to Me
There’s something powerful about this time of year.
The sun hangs a little longer in the sky, and everything feels a little more alive.
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year.
A natural invitation to slow down, let go, and rise with the light.
It reminds me to check in with myself—where I’m headed, and what I’m holding that’s no longer mine.
You don’t need a fancy altar or hours of meditation.
Just a quiet moment… and a little intention.
My Personal Solstice Ritual
This is the ritual I come back to every June. It only takes 10–15 minutes, but it helps me feel lighter, clearer, and more me.
It’s now a tradition I share with the women I love, my sister, my friends, and this community.
1. Step Into the Light
Step outside, barefoot if you can.
Close your eyes and let the sun warm your skin. Lift your palms to the sun to receive and just breathe.
Then whisper to yourself:
“I welcome the light. I rise with it. I am ready for what’s next.”
Let the moment feel sacred. Let it feel like yours.
2. Let It Out
Grab a small piece of paper and write down what you’re ready to release.
This might be:
- Doubts or fears
- Habits that drain your energy
- Thoughts that keep you stuck
No need to overthink it. Let it flow.
3. Burn & Release
Light a candle or use a fire-safe dish.
Burn the paper slowly, watching it turn to ash.
As you do, say:
“I release this. It no longer belongs to me nor serves me.”
Feel the space you’ve just made. Clean. Quiet. Yours.
4. Plant a New Intention
Now write one short sentence about the version of you that’s growing this season.
A few ideas:
“I bloom with confidence.”
“I follow the warmth, not the worry.”
“I allow joy to guide me.”
Say it out loud. Let it sink in. Then place it somewhere meaningful, under a flowerpot, inside a drawer, on your bathroom mirror, next to your jewelry.
What This Ritual Does For Me
Each time I do this, something shifts.
Sometimes it’s small, like clarity or softness.
Sometimes it’s big, like letting go of fear or calling in something new.
This ritual helped me trust my path. It helped a friend finally forgive herself.
It helped my sister take a leap in her own life.
And that’s why I keep sharing it.
Because we all deserve a few sacred minutes to remember:
The sun wants you to bloom.
The fire wants to set you free.
You were made to radiate.
