Happy Solstice to all. We here in the New England are almost giddy at the arrival of summer season. With a spring that seemed to elude us, we now are fully in the flowering season of all that nature has to offer.
To fully be present and receptive to the sensory abundance that is unfolding each day, it's wise to choose to move at the pace of nature herself. She does not rush or multitask. She does not judge or reject. She does not miss the moment waiting for a better one ahead or holding on to moments past. She is the epitome of a wise sage guiding us just how to align and shine with our essence by taking in hers!
Our breath reflects our consciousness and the availability we have to being present. Breathing in long, slow and deeply and exhaling with completion, moves our nervous system into alignment with the healing rhythm of nature. When we consciously breathe, we consciously see, sense, hear, feel and taste. We awaken from distraction and open fully to the richness that nature and this season of growth has to offer.
When we observe our experiences from a space of conscious presence, we absorb the beauty of nature right into our cellular structure. We then carry her essence as a reflection of our own. We become her. We realize the infinite possibilities within the world of creation. We awaken our experiences to depths not tapped into before. We awaken to the natural aliveness that defines our souls.
Summer is a blessing every year, particularly if you live in regions with long , tough winters. Summer awakens and renews our spirit. Summer says come out and play . Shed your layers, shed your shoes, walk in the grass or on the sand, breathe and feel. Be Alive! What an amazing season of generosity and abundance!
Blessings to you All and take each day as an invitation to breathe long, slow and deeply. Take it all in! Namaste Anne Townend-Duffey
