Hello and welcome to the summer solstice meditation on an irradiance.
Allow yourself to come to a comfortable position.
Go ahead and settle in.
You've arrived at the turning point of light.
The solstice is here and so are you.
Let this moment be a threshold between what has been and what's ready to rise within you.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it gently and release out of your mouth slowly.
Let's do that again.
On your breath in,
Inhale sunlight into your body.
Hold it in your chest.
And exhale,
Softening into your body,
Your breath,
Into presence.
Allow yourself to settle here.
Allow yourself to be held.
Today the sun reaches its peak.
It's the longest day with the deepest light.
It's a cosmic mirror reminding you that you too are a source of radiance.
You're here to remember your light.
On your next inhale imagine a soft golden current entering through the top of your head.
It travels down your spine gently.
It's like warm sunlight sliding over your skin.
This golden current continues down your spine to your solar plexus,
Where it gathers behind your navel.
This is a pool of golden fire.
Soft,
Steady,
Sovereign.
This is your inner sun,
Your source of power,
Your truth,
Your yes.
And in this space,
Ask yourself these questions.
What part of me is ready to rise?
What truth can no longer stay hidden?
What joy is asking to be expressed without apology?
Allow yourself to feel these questions in your body.
Now tune into the field around you.
The atmosphere holds a quiet hum.
It's thick with rightness,
Groundedness,
Readiness.
The energy of this solstice carries the rhythm of the earth.
It's a rhythm that encourages presence,
Patience,
And receiving.
This is the kind of receiving that flows naturally when you remember that you're already enough.
Beneath that warmth,
A second current moves.
It invites devotion,
A softer strength,
The kind that builds sanctuaries within your being so your spirit can stretch wide without losing its center.
Let these energies surround and infuse you.
And then gently ask yourself,
What am I ready to receive without striving?
Where am I being asked to trust my slower pace?
What internal foundations allow my light to expand safely?
Feel these questions in your body.
Allow the answers to come up.
Place one hand over your heart and the other over your lower belly.
Feel the rhythm of your breath.
Feel the weight of your own presence.
And now I invite you to repeat after me,
Either out loud or to yourself,
I claim the light within me.
I welcome the fullness of who I am.
I receive this moment as a mirror of my radiance.
I walk forward in joy,
In truth,
And in trust.
I'll say those one more time.
I claim the light within me.
I welcome the fullness of who I am.
I receive this moment as a mirror of my radiance.
I walk forward in joy,
In truth,
And in trust.
Let these words ripple through your system.
Consider them your remembrance.
Now slowly bring your awareness back to your breath.
Back to your body.
Back to the room around you.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Maybe roll your shoulders.
Allow your head to nod side to side.
And stretch if it feels good in your body.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Welcome back.
You're radiant and you're ready.
