It's almost summer time - so we are jumping into the history of Litha and the Summer Solstice today. What can we do on the 21st of June at the office ... how about these 13 ideas?

1.      Wake up early and watch the sun rise. 

2.      Put a big jar of water outside to soak up the sun’s rays all day.

3.      Bring flowers into the office – specifically big bouquets of sunflowers!

4.      Litha is all about embracing the light and the sun.  So open things up on the 21st.  Open the windows and blinds and let the sun in. 

5.      Make your afternoon tea with sun water – let the power of the sun that day fuel your glass of water for a couple of hours around noonish – and then use it for your tea or afternoon drink.

6.     Light a candle.  Yes, I know the office is not always easy for candle lighting but it’s a great time to honor the sun and fire by lighting a candle.  You’ll want a gold, yellow or red candle for this.  If you can’t light one, bring in a battery powered candle for your desk.  Even a little tealight candle will work for this.

7.      Bring the earth in – We can do this by adding a plant, flowers or herbs to our office and desk.

8.      The sun is a masculine energy – so on the 21st – power up! If you are working that day – boss it up and pull from your inner power to get stuff done and add value to your work.

9.      For your lunch break – head outside and go for a mid-day walk.  If you can, take off your shoes and touch the earth half way through and take a moment to give yourself praise and self-love. 

10.   Take a moment in the afternoon and think about the balance in your life.  How we are at the halfway point – and crossing a bridge to the other half.  What part of your list and goals has yet to be completed … what do you still need to do during this second half.  What do you maybe need to leave behind as you cross over?

11.   After work celebrate Litha with a feast.  Go out to dinner or host a small dinner party at your home.  For the working folks, potlucks may be easier to help distribute the work.  Either way, holidays are a perfect time to celebrate with food.

12.   End the evening by grabbing your sun water you put out before you left for work … and treat yourself to a sun water bath.  This special Litha bath can have added power by focusing on the light within you … and the beauty we all have.  Self love and self care is so very important and the summer solstice is a perfect time to take a moment at the end of our day to celebrate …. Us!

13.   When you go to bed on the night of the 21st … put a flower under your pillow to bring love into your dreams …. And it’s said, that a dream you have on Litha is an omen.  So try to remember it (write it down or do something so you can make sense of the message the next day).
