On the Summer Solstice today in the Southern Hemisphere I feel so much love and gratitude to be exactly where I am. This is a first for me as not too long ago it was always about what I needed to make me happy.
When I get this thing, then I will be happy or when I achieve that I will be happy. I have realised that is nothing but a distraction to keep me from being right where I need to be which is right here right now, present and grateful for wherever that might be in any given moment. You see, i've come to the realisation along with many others that the system we are each a part of is filled with distraction which ultimately keeps us completely un-aware for the majority of our day, every single day. How often do you unplug from technology and simply sit and breathe? You might do it for a small portion of your day when you dedicate some time for meditation or yoga or to go for a walk or exercise in another way but im guessing like myself it is a small portion of the day and most of the time you, like me are connected to your phone, your computer, maybe you're listening to podasts or you're working on your laptop etc.
Don't get me wrong, I love the convenience of technology and how it has brought us closer together in terms of doing business internationally, keeping in touch with loved ones overseas and seeing what is happening outside of our immediate environment in real time, however there is a downside to all of it.
Firstly, kids are far too connected to devices in my opinion and will never know the experiences of their parents and grandparents - the playing in the streets with other kids, riding bikes till dark, playing hopscotch or elastics, jacks and many other games we loved to dive into as kids for hours and hours. Reading books, real books seems to be a chore and has been taken over by digital alternatives. Again, there are benefits to where technology can take us though it can also be a danger to us. How far is too far? There is so much going on in terms of AI that is truly frightening and it is important that we be very mindful of what we are willing to go along with as it is progressing quickly.
We are the creators of our reality so remember that! You decide what your life is going to look like moving forward. You decide the experiences you wish to have in this Earthly experience. You are multidimensional, living out a variety of experiences simultaneously so there are no limits as to what you can create. We are so quick to sell ourselves short with what we can do, of who we can be and these are limitations that we place upon ourselves - we do! So getting out of our heads, away from all these distractions and moving into the heart is where we find all that we are looking for, no matter what that might be. Knowing we each are sovereign beings of light who decide our future, and that we should never be handing our power over to anyone else. You might think that you can't make a difference in this world as one person, but if everyone felt empowered enough individually to create change then you would see an enormous shift in the world. All we need to do is work on ourselves individually - heal ourselves and come into a space of self love and this will ripple out into the collective field.
Today, on this Summer Solstice Midsummer Day I invite you to switch off from the devices, the technology AND the mind chatter that prevents you stepping into your power as a magnificent, powerful manifestor and take a walk in nature, take your shoes off and place them firmly on the ground, sit on the grass, feel the energy of the trees and plants, smell the flowers, watch the waves roll in, feel the breeze on your face, make some magic and just 'be', even if it is just for a short time. You will feel different for having done so. Take this time for yourself and leave the work, the christmas shopping, planning and anything else you have on your 'To Do List' and put yourself at the top of the list because you are deserving of this time.
Nature is so nurturing, healing, re-energising and high vibrational. If you are looking for a deeper connection with your spirit guides, the elemental beings, your cosmic connection, and especially yourself then go outside. Give thanks for all the Earth provides you, give thanks to your Spirit Helpers who are by your side every step of the way on this journey of ascension, and give thanks to yourself for all you have achieved this past year. Navigating this journey isn't always an easy task, however you're doing it, so know you are supporting not only your spiritual ascension, but humanitys. We are all connected and what affects one affects all. There is nothing separate from you, so lean into the wisdom and guidance of your heart space, and be open to receive all that is ready to come into your awareness. Work on your energy daily and ground into this experience in order to expand your consciousness even further.
Jot down any impressions, thoughts, ideas or anything else that might pop into your head today as you spend this time in nature as there are many messengers that will connect when you spend time outdoors. Notice what little creatures cross your path and remember that there are many synchronicities and messengers when we detach and simply observe. There is no need to fix anything or change anything, because all is as it should be just as it is, so take some deep breaths in and out through your heart chakra in the centre of your chest, and allow yourself to feel completely present!!
