| Helen’s Sound Meditation ~ Welcoming June “ the gateway to summer.” |
| June “Far up in the deep blue sky, Great white clouds are floating by; All the world is dressed in green; Many happy birds are seen, Roses bright and sunshine clear Show that lovely June is here.” F. G. SANDERSAs we move through the year, nearly half way! Take a breathe in stillness, just as the sun will on the Summer Solstice. The word itself springs from two Latin words: ‘Sol’ (sun) and ‘systre’ (standing still.) a reminder that stillness is needed to shine bright and to celebrate the nourishing light of the Sun and the light within each of us.The summer solstice also marks a shift in the year. After the solstice, the sun’s power starts to decrease, the days gradually shortening as we head towards the darker half of the year. Such is the humbling ebb and flow of nature. What a full and beautiful May, with a couple of events to end the month. May started with Bluebell weekend at Deer Wood with the, what seemed like continuous rain for weeks, giving way to dry brighter sky. It was a joy to meet so many enthusiastic visitors, share taster Sound Baths and chat about the benefits of Sound Meditation. Regular monthly session were vibrant with the addition of retreat bookings and children’s settings. So grateful x |
