Let the Sun Shine In ~ Bathing in Litha

The longest day of the year is just around the corner and this Leo can't wait to celebrate! 

The Sun by Mitsuki Hayashi

This will be my first official Litha, where I will consciously be acknowledging the Sun. Everything about this festival excites me. This solstice is filled with fire, creation, life energy, and spirit. The Sun reaches his highest point, sending shadows and bad energy racing from their hideaways. These spaces are filled with the beauty and regenerative rays of the sun, strengthening our resolve and filling us with golden pieces of truth and growth. The vibrations of the sun are felt by every living thing, stimulating growth. Filling you with life.

This magical day is filled with passion. Fill your festivities with dance and bright colours, flower picking and sexy time (please practice both with the utmost of care and respect).  It is so important to fill your days by enjoying the sun. Those of us in the North know that Sun days are as good as gold and we should treat these days as such.

Life is to be enjoyed. Take these pieces of golden beauty and give thanks. Let the blessings abound and the sacredness tingle right through to your soul.

Celebrate the Solstice the Indigo way:

Spirit Self ~ Fill your space with fresh flowers. Anything in full bloom has been kissed by the sun and is the perfect bouquet for celebration. If picking the flowers yourself, make sure you thank the Mother for her gift.

Family and Loved ones ~ A BBQ with corn, (kernels of the sun) , and some freshly squeezed homemade sun juice, (most commonly know as Lemonade), is a brilliant way to spend Litha.

Community ~ There are so many celebrations and festivals, make sure you take a boo in your local events calendar. If you're living in the Ottawa area, check out the Summer Solstice Aboriginal Arts Festival

Spirit ~ Let yourself enjoy a few Sun Salutations.

I wish you Love and Light this Solstice.
