The Summer Solstice on June 21st marked when planetary alignment gave us the longest day of the year. The ancients linked this time with fertility and bountiful harvests.
All over the world, the solstices are celebrated. Midsummer in Scandinavia can be traced back to the Iron Age. It’s a time to praise longer days and spend time with loved ones. The mind and body connection is practiced through yoga in India and beyond on the 21st, as it’s the International Day of Yoga.
These celebrations are integral to our being. They represent balance and harmony: the Winter Solstice represents the dark and Summer Solstice the light.
We’ve ushered in the warmth of Summer and it’s often thought of as a time for vacation, slow living, and romance. It’s also a time for great momentum in realizing your vision! Longer daylight hours bring a sense of renewal and a new zest for life. Don’t be surprised if you feel like you can get more done in a day!
In these VUCA times we need this sense of renewal. We are being called to come together across generations to create new futures for all of us…individually & collectively. There is potential for major breakthroughs in creativity and innovation. It all starts with the paralleling exploration of all of us becoming Everyday Futurists—at home, in our communities, and in our work.
It’s clear everything is on the line, so we must all come together to create self-directed Futures by Design that supports our evolution. Both Insight-Soulwork and Foresight studies lead to regeneration, rejuvenation, radical reinvention, and re-design!
I’m not one to dismiss the future, nor do I deny reality, but this is the time for younger generations to design a new paradigm. The world we have now isn’t going to cut it! We oldest generations are required to keep our minds open to what’s new, or uncomfortable, so we can partner across generations. We all must contribute our added values, rooted in experience and earned/learned skills to bring wholeness to these VUCA time.
Foresight, partnered with insight, gives us a handle on how to navigate these futures. Use this time of renewal and abundance to get your plan for your What’s NOW!
How are you showing up to usher in a new paradigm?
