Summer Solstice Sun-daze.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024, at 9.54PM GMT, marks the year’s longest day. With Cancer season approaching, getting grounded and transparent is essential. Becoming well-connected will help clear any lingering doubts and make space for the inward introspection of the Full Moon In Capricorn on 21st June.
One way to celebrate the Summer Solstice is by leading a sun-gazing ritual. This involves watching the sun until it sets. Not only is this a spiritual practice, but it also has significant health benefits. Research shows that sun gazing stimulates the pineal gland, boosting the production of melatonin and serotonin. This can increase your energy levels and significantly improve your overall well-being.
The term ‘Solstice’ (Latin: ‘solstitium’) encapsulates a fascinating astronomical event. On this day, the sun’s apparent movement on the horizon halts and reverses direction. It doesn’t rise precisely in the east but slightly north of the east and sets north of the west, leading to longer daylight hours. This celestial dance, a testament to the intricate workings of our universe, is a source of awe and wonder.
The Summer Solstice is not just the longest day of the year, it’s a unique and symbolic transition from one energetic phase to another. It marks a shift in the Universe’s rhythm, a change that is palpable. After spending the last six months in a yin state of rejuvenation and inward processing, the Solstice is a call to open up and shine your light. It’s a time to embrace the increased light and consciousness that the Solstice brings.
Here are some ways to celebrate the Solstice:
*Get grounded, clear, and precise. With Cancer season approaching, grounding yourself will clear away any lingering doubts and make space for the introspection of the Full Moon In Capricorn
- Consider leading a sun-gazing ritual, watching the sun until it sets. This practice can boost the production of melatonin and serotonin. Research shows that sun gazing stimulates the pineal gland as direct sunlight enters the eye, travels through the retinal-hypothalamic tract, and reaches the brain. The most common reason for sun gazing is to increase energy levels.
