Solstice Time!
The June Solstice is coming up on June 20th/21st!
Solstice energy belongs to the Earth element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every solstice and equinox, I like to invite in the energies of Earth to help support me in balancing my system. I also use this time to help set up my body (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) to release that which I do not need to carry into the next rhythm or season of my creation cycle and call forward the frequencies that would benefit me.
Highlights of the Earth Element
Earth represents Gaia, great mother Earth.
When I think of the goddess energy of Gaia, I tend to think of nourishment, her grounding heartbeat that helps to create a beautiful connection to the earth’s rhythms and cycles, and the love that comes from her grace-filled abundant support.
Within the Earth element are the Spleen (Yin) and Stomach (Yang) meridians.
Some traditions call the Spleen Meridian the Queen and master metabolizer. She (along with the pancreas that is governed by Spleen meridian) help us to metabolize ALL – physically, our emotions, our thoughts, and throughout our spiritual energy bodies as well. She is there to help us break down all that is no longer serving us, to set up our system to receive that which is beneficial to us and to open us up to truly releasing and dissolving that which is not beneficial for us. The spleen governs our lymph and blood health as well, allowing our bodies to bring forward the optimal level of our life force energies.
Stomach meridian helps us with the structure and providing the container for us to be able and trust in the larger picture, releasing the excessive worry energies that can hold us in doubts. I love the metaphor of stomach’s actual rhythm cycle, timing, and “job”. The stomach is literally a container that holds all that we ingest for about 20 minutes. During that time, the body is starting to break down and see what might be beneficial for us and what might not be. If you follow its lead, you can do this with anything you might need to “digest”. Allow yourself to create a container of time to start and break down what has come into your field. After that timeframe of reflection and the contemplation that “breaks it down”, then it is time to release and trust in the process that your field can gain that which is valuable to absorb and will support you, nourish you, and that your guidance can then effortlessly release that which is not helpful or nourishing for you. Since the Summer solstice represents the longest day (the height of yang energy), it is a great time to put this metaphor in motion. ☺
Solstice Practice
This solstice takes time to set up a sacred container for yourself to look at what thought patterns, behavior patterns, attachments, resentments, blocks, self-doubts, and fears are no longer serving you.
- What have you been holding onto that is no longer optimal and stifling your life force energy?
- What is causing your system to have indigestion, congestion, bloating, acid reflux?
- What things are you now willing to release so that you can call in new, fresh, nurturing, and flow back into your creation cycle?
- What new energies would you like to call in to help nourish and support you?
If you are in the northern hemisphere, you are getting ready to move into the Fire Element with the summer season. Fire is all about opening to allowing your energies to dance and ignite your passions so that your creations can grow to match your heart’s desires and flourish.
If you are in the southern hemisphere, you are getting ready to move into the Water Element with the winter season. You are leaving Metal the ending of one full creation cycle and entering into Water the time of stillness, and the beginning of a full new creation cycle. It is a beautiful time to really allow Earth to support you on what to release and what new energies to start to call in to support the next full cycle.
