Summer

Our season of messy beautiful action.

Summer. Each season has a unique way in which it supports us. The universe is always supporting us. Sending people, events, and seasons along our path to do this. You reading this, is a step towards telling the universe thanks, and you are here to receive.

Speaking of receiving, Welcome! This letter isn’t so much from me as it from the Season of Summer. One of things I teach in Reiki Level 2 is how to connect with (receive) different energies, whether it is the energy of a tree, the stars, a crystal or a season. They all have a unique energy that is available to learn from and experience. Thanks for being here, and welcome to Summer.

Summer is about doing. About letting go of the logical and instead taking action. Even if it feels messy.

Imagine in nature: things may seem wild, as if plant grow too fast or in the wrong direction. But after all the vegetation comes in, after all the abundance of baby bunnies are born… if we were to zoom out and look at the broader perspective, we would see how it all works together in a perfect harmony. If we panned out even further and saw the entire year at once we would see that even though so much seems to happen at once during summer, when we see the entire year, we see that even the rush of action that’s happening, doesn’t last. And instead; it is on a beautiful cycle that supports our path in forward momentum and growth.

What is difficult for some is that this isn’t always a pleasent experience. We may have memories and ideas that summer should be carefree, playful and relaxed. And while this may be true at times, it’s also good to honor the difficult periods you go through and challenges you face. When we are growing at a personal level, it’s easier to see this. To know that the “overwhelm and muck” it sometimes feels we are stuck in will pass. But when we go through it on a collective level, as a society… often we miss the point. That this too is a normal process for growth and change. And that going through the overwhelm and muck does lead to change and ability to be more carefree and playful on the other side.

Summer is about action. What actions are best to be taking? This depends on your own heart. We are each here for a unique purpose. I cannot tell you your purpose just as you cannot tell me mine. Just know that you are here to experience yours.

To get in touch with this we must get quiet in our mind and allow the heart or the intuitive side, that gentle inner knowing to nudge us towards what is best for us. This could be standing up for something politically, this could be standing up for yourself.

To navigate through whatever muck you feel stuck in, zoom out — notice where you are headed and ask your heart if this is where you truly want to be going. Are you aiming in the right direction? If not… Summer is a great time to re-evaluate.

People get caught up in New Years resolutions over winter, forgetting that winter is a time for natural rest. Where as Summer: which is a time full of butterflies, growth, and accelleration is a natural time for change and growth in ourselves, and in turn our societies.

“Ask your heart if this is where you truly want to be going. Are you aiming in the right direction?”

You are never too late.

You are never behind. You are always able to choose a new path. Summer supports you in this 100%. Especially during the busyness. The wild chaos around us. If you are able to find a place to be quiet here. You are able to find a place to be quiet at any time. Embrace the chaos. Like a mosaic. Small scattered, seemingly messy broken peices can create beautiful art.

What are you creating from your difficult moments and emotions?

Are you letting them drive you towards an outcome and life you don’t desire?

Or do you use them for knowledge, fuel and growth towards what your heart does desire?

If you feel you are ready to drop an old story, or belief, or way of being. Summer is the time to do it. Drop it. Ask for help. Imagine the life you’d like to have and take action towards it.

Even if messy. Once we are through this period of growth, you’ll be able to look back and notice the difference, see the beauty it created, and feel fulfilled.

Reach out here to drop any stress keeping you from feeling your best right now, and to fully step into your new path. You are always supported. Allow it in.
