Counter intuitive nervous system regulation pause prevents burnout but only if your body perceives stillness as safety.
Solstice blessing to you! I trust you listened to your body's intuitive wisdom
and nature (she hit 33 degrees fiery HOT here yesterday!)
There’s a still point in every cycle — A moment when the sun pauses, and the light lingers just a little longer.
That moment is now.
The Solstice — whether Summer or Winter, depending on where you are
— marks a sacred turning. A midpoint.
A pause.
A deep breath in the timeline of the year.
It’s not just a seasonal shift
— it’s a soul checkpoint.
Right now, everything in nature is speaking to you:
“Pause here. Let what’s truly important come into focus.”
In the Northern Hemisphere, the light reaches its peak. In the South, the dark is most complete. Either way — we’re invited into illumination.
Not the harsh, exposing kind — But the kind that warms the roots and reminds us what matters.
This week, I’ve been feeling the weight of unrushed becoming — The tension between where I thought I’d be by now… and where I am.
Maybe you’ve felt it too?
A subtle self-blame, shame and regret spiral. A tiredness that feels older than your bones. A grief for the person you once were…
and the one you hoped to be by now.
But the Solstice reminds us:
You are not behind. You are right on time for your soul’s unfolding.
You’re not running late — you’re returning home.
Let this moment be your pause. Your breath. Your sacred reset.
In these collective rites of passage, we’re being called to slow down. To open again to play, to wonder, to awe. To live, even for a few moments each day, not in pursuit of improvement
— but in the joy of simple Being.
Create rituals that say…
“I’m allowed to feel this good now… I’m allowed to win without punishment.”
"It is safe to be still here."
Breathwork.
Stillness.
Movement.
Let your body catch up to your vision…
These are not small things.
They are revolutionary acts of remembrance. They interrupt the collective trance and reopen the doorway to the sacred.
The ancient alchemists believed the vessel was not only a physical container, but also the subtle body of the soul.
In that vessel, they met the lost orphans of psyche and soma— The abandoned. The joyful. The raging. The grieving. And they loved them back into integration.
You and I — we are vessels too.
Made of dreams, sensation, story, stardust, and sorrow. Even our symptoms are made of Spirit, if we approach them with
tenderness and curiosity.
This love, this presence, this fidelity to the process is the way through.
We are being asked to become more transparent, more translucent — to become a body through which the Sacred can move.
Yes, the journey ascends — from matter to Spirit. But it also descends — from Spirit into matter. Into the body. Into now. Into you and me. Into our relationships, our tears, our passion, and our prayers.
Build from resonance… not residue.
You’re not here to prove something to the version of you that survived.
You’re here to serve the version of you that’s finally free.
May we honour both movements. May we open our hearts to the Mystery — even if it breaks us open.
Turning Point Reframe:
You are not falling apart.
You are not broken. Your life/ relationships/ business, they are NOT broken. But it is trying to evolve.
Will you let it?
You are realigning with what’s real, what’s yours, and what’s next.
Mantra to Hold:
"I don’t have to push forward to be in motion. Stillness is a sacred strategy. Presence is enough."
Doable Holy Shift (Somatic Practice):
Put one hand over your heart, the other on your belly. Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 2, and exhale for 6. Repeat three times with this phrase in your mind:
“I allow myself to pause. I allow my next steps to rise in clarity.
I am safe, supported and connected to my Soul work.”
Soul Prayer:
May this Solstice illuminate the gifts in the shadows. May it remind you of who you came here to be. May your next move, your next level of healing, your abundance, your success be built from what your future wants… Not from what your past fears.
Because.......
You don’t need a resolution. Just a rhythm. Just a remembering. Just a realignment with what’s already sacred in you.
You are not late to your life. You are the light returning.
