Here comes the sun! This article will be on the many ways to take advantage of the benefits of longer days of sunlight. From energizing your crystals to burning away negativity, or promoting health and healing, the sun is a valuable tool. Add a trip to the beach and you can also use the powerful clearing and centering energy of the ocean to reset yourself and rejuvenate your spirit.
SUN GEM GRID:
The astrological symbol for the sun is a circle with a dot in the center. You can use this symbol to connect with the suns energy when working inside. The gem that resonates strongest with sun energy is Sunstone. Sunstone is a beautiful crystal with golden copper colored flashes of light. Golden Quartz is also a natural choice when working with sun energy. To energize or charge your gem place it in the noonday sun for 15 – 20 minutes.
Your charged gem can be used in the center of a gem grid to enhance the flow of energy and strengthen the energy vibration of all the gems. Just place gem on the symbol for the sun and in the center of your grid. Because the sun s energy has so many beneficial properties it can safely be used for all forms of grid work (love, health, prosperity, protection, etc.).
EYE OF THE SUN:
Like to live large? Make a giant eye of the sun in your yard. Create the symbol for the sun (circle with a dot, smaller circle, in the center) fill the circle with YELLOW marigolds and the center dot (smaller circle) with ORANGE marigolds. In the center of the small circle place a smooth tile and use this area as a charging plate for your sunstone or golden quartz (optional). Aside from energy, the marigold plant has a variety of practical uses. Try this one for pain and swelling. Take a handful of marigold leaves and bruise them. Add to a small glass bottle and fill with white wine vinegar. Shake bottle twice a day for a week. Strain to remove the leaves. Add to the bath to help relieve swelling and pain or pour over a cotton cloth and use as a compress. Marigolds are also quick to propagate, and you can keep them growing by taking the spent flower heads and separating them into the seeds. Sprinkle the seeds in the dirt to increase the number of seedlings. Pests don’t like them either and they are relatively maintenance free so enjoy them all season.
ZEN STONE:
This is a beach day project. Stroll the beach until you find a Zen stone. This is a special stone, you will be able to draw on with water, it will absorb your image and make it disappear. What you are looking for is a porous stone. Your porous Zen stone is perfect for creating a sense of mindfulness and keeping you in the moment. What better way of truly experiencing your vacation? It reminds one that nothing in this world is permanent and all that is resides only in the present moment. A terrific way to calm the mind and a good technique for stress relief.
TIDAL CENTERING, CLEARING, & REJUVENATION:
The ocean is a wonderful tool for grounding and centering a person’s energy field. Go to the waters edge and let your feet sink into the soft sand. With each wave over your feet feel the earth connecting and drawing your energy down, connecting it within the earth’s core. As each wave draws back into the ocean visualize all the negative or stressful energy peeling pulled away with it. As each wave ripples over your feet feel the power and cleansing energy of the ocean ripple through you. Add a breathing exercise to this process for even more beneficial effect. Breath in as the wave comes in, breath out as the wave is drawn out.
