This
is the traditional time of ripeness, fullness and vitality. It is also a
superlative time for connecting with others, being generous and
expressing love.
All
times are surely appropriate for love, yet the love involved here is
perhaps more down-to-earth. It is the love we have for all those we
genuinely cherish.
This comprises all the human
desires to be in their company or rejoice at their memory, and it also
includes coming to terms with feelings of attachment, control and other
grievances.
And here the Sun challenges us to be authentic and shine our truth. Rather than behaving according to social conventions or lofty ideals, the summer test is to acknowledge our feelings and be who we are, in that particular moment when we are.

As
the Sun escalates its luminous summer presence, it is easier to be true
to ourselves, no matter what others, including our conditioned minds,
may think.
When I am not honest with myself everything becomes difficult and I end up being overwhelmed and frustrated.
This is simply because I disconnect with the web of life and miss its energy flow, making huge efforts at being different from what I am.
On the contrary when I am authentic, things flow and I inevitably attract what resonates with that authenticity.

The
radiant presence of the Sun encourages us to be more transparent and
straightforward. If we accept this invitation astonishing things may
happen.
One of the first steps in being true to ourselves involves getting out of the routines that prevent us from being who we truly are. It is often about doing things we have never done.
These may be things we have always liked, and also, in some cases, things that we do not know we like, and can only find out if we experience them.

The
Sun shines on our hearts, and this allows us to be in love. Being in
love can be a bit scary. People who are in love can appear ridiculous,
purring, sending constant text-messages, spending hours on the phone,
saying a lot of mellow words...
People get crazy when they are in love and also do very challenging things. They do things they never do. This is because the love they feel is much stronger than all their fears, embarrassment and self-importance.

As Alejandro Jodorowski puts it “the moment we do something we have never done, we are already on the healing path."
Summer is a great time to be who we are at all levels… to do things we have never done... and to be in love.
Wish you a most joyful summer!
