🌞✨ Combined Summer Solstice and New Year Ritual ✨🌞
Hello Sacred Self-Care Community,
As we embrace the energy of the longest day of the year and prepare to welcome the New Year, let's come together for a beautiful ritual that celebrates abundance and sets positive intentions for the future. 🌸🌿
Purpose: Celebrate the abundance of the Summer Solstice while setting intentions and invoking positive energy for the New Year.
1. Gather Supplies:
A candle (yellow/orange for Solstice, white/gold for New Year)
A journal or paper and pen
Fresh flowers or herbs (sunflowers, marigolds, rosemary)
A vision board or large piece of paper
Magazines, pictures, and cutouts
Glue or tape
Essential oils (lavender, peppermint)
A comfortable outdoor spot (garden, park, balcony)
2. Create a Sacred Space: Choose a sunny, quiet place to sit and relax. Arrange your supplies in a small altar or sacred space.
3. Ground Yourself: Sit comfortably, take a few deep breaths, and apply essential oils to your wrists or temples. Focus on the warmth of the sun and the energy it provides.
4. Light the Candle: Light the candle and place it in front of you. Visualise the light filling you with energy and positivity.
5. Reflect on the Past Year: Write down your reflections on the past year—lessons learned, achievements, and moments of growth. Acknowledge and let go of any negative experiences.
6. Set Intentions and Goals: Think about your goals and aspirations for the New Year. Write down your intentions, focusing on growth, positivity, and abundance.
7. Create Your Vision Board: Use magazines and pictures to create a visual representation of your goals and aspirations. Arrange the images on the vision board and glue or tape them in place.
8. Symbolic Offerings: Arrange fresh flowers or herbs around the candle as an offering. Scatter them in the wind or water as a symbol of letting go and embracing new growth.
9. Meditation and Visualization: Spend a few minutes meditating on your vision board, goals, and the energy of the Solstice. Visualize your goals coming to fruition and feel the sun’s energy empowering you.
10. Affirmations: Write down positive affirmations related to your goals and say them aloud to reinforce your intentions.
11. Closing: Thank the sun, the earth, and the universe for their energy, support, and guidance. Extinguish the candle and take a few moments to absorb the sense of renewal and positivity.
By combining these rituals, we harness the powerful energy of the Summer Solstice and set meaningful intentions for the New Year. 🌞🌿 Let's embrace this sacred time together and step into the new year with abundant energy and positive vibes.
Love and light,
Branwen 💖✨
