Sync with Summer: Harness the Season's Energy for Wellbeing

Rhythms are the infrastructure of everything such as the earth’s rotation, ocean tides, galaxies and seasons.  Just as nature follows its patterns, our bodies tend to follow similar rhythms. By attuning to our whole self needs and becoming aware of these natural patterns, we can support our well-being more effectively.  With seasons specifically, our bodies respond to various biological rhythms, such as gravitational, lunar, and circadian rhythms. As we step into summer, we can honor our unique wiring, build resilience and be empowered to recognize the beauty and wisdom in this season.

Summer is a time of vitality. In the Northern hemisphere, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, flowers are in full bloom, grass is lush, gardens grow and animals are with full energy eating the fresh produce you toiled over. It is a time of abundance and a time to revel in the beauty of nature. The days are long, and the evenings are warm, inviting us to play, be joyful, relax and rejuvenate.
