Summer the season of Fire

Summer… the realm of the Fire element

The sun at the heart of the solar system, within which all planets orbit. Radiating light for guidance, warmth for energy. Connecting all things and most felt in a season where nature calls us to celebrate this connection. 

To soak up the rays, to joyfully party, to holiday, to pause to take in the blooming flowers and beautifully ripened fruits. But to be mindful in not getting caught up in the bold intensity and hastiness of the season, as to not overextend, overstimulate, overdo at the expense of the connection to ourselves. 

To honour and tend to this flame within, the rhythm and pulse of our heart. As it sets us into rhythm with something greater at play. That heart centred knowing and guidance to the pulse between doing and non-doing, letting in and letting go, when to stoke our flame and when to fan the flames and cool our jets. To sustain a season that calls for us to fill our connection cup ready for the cooler months when connecting isn’t so enticing… but to go slowly, to not lose sight of the Yin within the Yang, as from a slow and steady place we don’t run the risk of overriding those cues that our flame has begun to flicker.
