Celebrate Your Inner Light: A Summer Solstice Reflection + Intention Practice

By Jody Williams | OceanFire Designs

The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, is not just a date on the calendar.

It’s a powerful moment, a peak, a sacred checkpoint where nature calls us to pause, breathe, and take stock of our lives.

The Solstice invites us to slow down and look inward in a world that rushes us forward.

It’s the sun at full power.

Its clarity is rising to the surface.

It’s the perfect time to ask yourself:

• What am I carrying that I no longer need?

• What would I like to report?

• And what’s already working that I want to stay rooted in?

That’s what this practice is all about. It's a way to align your inner self with the energy of the Summer Solstice, to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future.

It’s not about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering who you are when the noise quiets down.

So find a quiet space, whether it's a secluded corner of your home, a peaceful park, or even a quiet room in a bustling city.

Turn your phone on silent.

Take a few minutes for this intention-setting practice.

Summer Solstice Intention Practice

Awaken Your Inner Light

Wherever you are, let yourself fully arrive.

You don’t have to be calm.

You don’t have to be ready.

You have to show up.

Begin with a slow, gentle inhale through the nose,

Down into the belly.

And release slowly through the mouth, making a whispery haaaaa sound

Do that one more time.

Let this breath mark the beginning of your reset.

The Solstice is a threshold.

It’s a space between what was and what’s next.

The Solstice is a gentle reminder from nature that growth and rest can coexist, that it's okay to take a break while still moving forward.

Now ask yourself:

1. What is one thing I’m ready to release?

 Something you’ve outgrown. A pressure. A belief.

 You don’t need to force it.

 Just name it.

 And with your exhale, imagine loosening your grip.

2. What is one thing I’m ready to welcome?

 A way of being that would serve you now.

 Not something you “should” want—but something your body and spirit say yes to.

Breathe it in. Let it land in you.

3. What is one thing I choose to continue?

A strength. A truth. A quiet rhythm you’ve been keeping.

Feel the power in that decision.

Let it ground you.

Pause here.

Let these three intentions settle like stones in a river—solid, clear, and genuine.

And then, when you’re ready, return.

Return to your daily life with a renewed sense of presence, a clearer vision, and a brighter light within you.

A little more clarity.

A little more light.

🕊️ The Metta Sutta | Loving-Kindness MeditationThis Month’s Meditation of the Month | Recited by Jody Williams

This is the Metta Sutta, an ancient Buddhist teaching on loving kindness, spoken by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago and as relevant today as ever.

This isn’t a guided meditation with prompts.

This is a transmission.

A poetic invocation of peace, dignity, and compassion.A reminder to live with a heart that is boundless, inclusive, and brave

The solstice doesn’t ask you to be more. It asks you to remember. To return to the fire already burning in your chest is not half-lit.

You are a force. A flare. A sacred spark in motion.

So light your candles, speak your truths, and walk like your presence is a ritual.

This season, let your inner light lead the way - Unapologetically. Unshakably. Unforgettably.

From OceanFire Designs: Keep your rituals sacred, your fire lit, and your heart aligned with the sun.
