The Summer Solstice & Celebrating Our Gifts!

As I write this new post it’s the June solstice, which is a summer solstice for me and those of us who live in the northern hemisphere (winter solstice for those in the southern hemisphere). Although by the time this new blog will be posted, the solstice will be over, yet I feel called to write about it today regardless, so let’s see what comes of that. Besides, even though the day of the solstice may be over, the energy always lingers for a few days after, so it may still take some time to integrate whatever shifts and fresh impulses this solstice brings around.

It’s actually quite a rainy day here in Oslo, Norway, as this solstice rolls around, yet the energies have still been super high! I had trouble going to sleep last night, as I felt like I was buzzing with energy. I think this was also tied to the fact that I’ve been working a lot more on my music lately, and I feel things are really coming together with that. I feel inspired and excited in a way I haven’t felt in a long time, if ever, and I feel that I’m at a pivotal point in my process, where I’m tapping into more creativity and generally feeling better than ever. Although I may still feel some slight heaviness come up to be cleared whenever these high frequency portals come around, it’s nothing I can’t handle, plus I know another energy upgrade is right around the corner and excited to see what it brings.

Throughout the year we have many smaller and bigger energy portals that can help us level up and shift into a higher base frequency, as we uplift and clear away old stuff that no longer serves us. Some of the smaller ones would be the monthly new and full moons, and some bigger ones would be the eclipses, equinoxes, and of course, the solstices. We’re also in a grander shift and ascension here on planet Earth, which makes these power days even more powerful, and there’s so much transformation and positive vibrations to be had, for those who are awake and aware enough to tap into it. Yet inevitably, when we’re being upgraded and receiving higher light codes and frequencies, old stuff will come up to be released, to allow for even more of the beauty and power of our soul to emerge.

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, with the shortest night, and it feels symbolically a bit like the light overcoming darkness, or that the light at the end of the tunnel is finally emerging. It definitely feels like that for me this time, as I feel that all my hard work is paying off, and I’m beginning to reap the rewards. Right now, this is coming in the form of more flow when it comes to creating music, as I’m finally feeling like I’m not hitting my head against an invisible wall that’s holding me back anymore. At least that wall seems to be slowly dissolving. Which is such an amazing feeling! Actually, as I’m writing this and really feeling into it, it’s actually bringing tears to my eyes. This deep healing process has felt so tiring and frustrating at times, as I’ve been wanting to create and do so many things, yet something always held me back. But finally things are opening up and beginning to flow, which I’m so happy to be able to say.

The solstice is also ushering in the summer and Cancer season, which is a time to celebrate the light both within and without, as we can allow ourselves to shine and bring our gifts and uniqueness out into the world. This may unfold even more once the sun enters Leo next month, but with the sun in Cancer we have an opportunity to slow down and nurture ourselves and our gifts so they can begin to blossom more and more. I think what sensitive and watery Cancer is here to remind us of is to not rush ahead, but take our time with it all, at least I feel that rings true for me. I used to have a tendency to forge ahead and feel the need to move quickly whenever inspiration would hit, perhaps because I was afraid if I didn’t, all my inspiration and ideas would be gone just as quickly as they arrived. But this time, I don’t feel the need to rush, but rather allow the inspiration and flow that I feel to just be, allowing it to fully anchor in, and trust that it will continue to be there in the future, too.

If this journey is teaching me anything, it’s that the more I heal and things within me shift, the more the people and my outsides circumstances shift, too. As within, so without, is an absolute, universal truth, and our vibration is what dictates our outer experiences and what we attract to ourselves. I now know that the reason why I always had such a difficulty succeeding at the things I put my heart and mind to, is all the subconscious past wounding that had conditioned me into patterns of thinking and behavior that held me back on so many levels. And I stress the term subconscious here, as I had no idea how much stuff was there until the awakening of my kundalini put me on the path to unravel and look at it all. But now that I’ve been through the dark night of the soul, and looked at my own shadow and my wounds, I can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel, and slowly begin to experience those things that I always felt were at the other side of my healing, yet at times was almost afraid to believe, as it felt so impossible when I was so trapped in my own darkness.

Nevertheless, here I am, on the day of the summer solstice, allowing myself a small celebration of how far I’ve come, and celebrating the small breakthroughs that I’m experiencing at the moment, and that I know will grow bigger and bigger in the coming months. I will continue to nurture my gifts and my intuition, that seems to finally tell me that it’s the right time for all of that.

So I hope you had a beautiful solstice, wherever in the world you are, and that you are able to step more into your shining light and nurture your own gifts and talents, that the world so deeply needs!

With that I sign off for today, and as always, send you much love & light!
