I have only recently become aware of the effect of lunar energy on my energy and thoughts as I have become more attuned with Nature.  My passion for Nature has gradually increased since lockdown as it become my safe space and one where I felt aligned with my mind, body and soul.  I was fortunate enough to be able to meet clients in Nature as well as run, walk my dogs and swim outside.

I have started to notice the moon cycles and effect they have on my energy.  How my dog instinctively becomes more of a hunter when we have a full moon.  This increased light that was a blessing for our ancestors also increases my energy. I notice how I become more alive during Summer and sometimes have to reign it in as I underestimate the limit of my energy.

We have just entered the Summer Solstice which is the longest day and shortest night of the year.  It is the doorway to the second half of the year and a time for reflection, completion and celebration.

The word 'solstice' means stopping or standing still, making it an ideal time to be still and check in with where you are.

As we stand on the threshold of the second half of the year, we can decide who we want to be and what we want to make up the next six months.  It is your decision.

We can use the strength and power of the sun to add light and energy to our lives and all we wish to be and have in our lives.  It's time to celebrate ourselves and our abundance.  

Nature is in full bloom and showing us that anything is possible.  We need to take inspiration from her and grow our desires and ideas.  There are no limitations.  This is the season to grow into all you can be.
