Happy Summer Solstice for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere! Welcome to the most yang, masculine, extroverted, and expansive day of the year. It is also the longest day and shortest night of the year! You may have already noticed increased activity and movement within your household, neighborhood, and city. Everyone is on the move! Even the birds and animals are frolicking about. We’ve finally reached the peak energy of the year. All the plans we set into motion last year are finally put into action. There is intensity in the air and a thrill to get outside and enjoy the abundant blooming elements around us.

Happy Fall Equinox for those in the Northern Hemisphere! We have been transitioning the last few weeks to get to this point with the Earth element energy that is grounding, stable and centering. You may have noticed yourself feeling more tired and exhausted the last few days. This is your body’s way of slowing down the pace. We have finally arrived at the two Yin seasons for the year. Fall and Winter represent the Metal and Water elements, which means quieting and healing the deepest parts of ourselves, down to the bones.
