Soaking Up the Soulshine: Welcoming June’s Light & the Summer Solstice

June has arrived with a glow, and here at Angelic Holistics, I can already feel the shift—like the world is gently saying, “Come outside, breathe deeply, and remember who you are.”

This is a beautiful month for realigning, re-energising, and revelling in the light—both literally and spiritually. So, let’s talk about what’s happening energetically, what it means for your soul, and why this month is the perfect time to stretch into your potential (with a little help from the Summer Solstice… and some yoga!).

☀️ The Summer Solstice: A Mid-Year Mirror

The Summer Solstice—this year on Friday 20th June—is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the peak of light, the height of sun energy, and spiritually? It’s like the Universe is giving us an extra boost to shine.

Ancient cultures celebrated this time as sacred. They lit bonfires, danced under the sun, made offerings, and gave thanks for abundance. The Solstice is a natural pause, a turning point. Think of it as your soul’s halfway check-in through the year:

✨ What have I outgrown?

✨ What am I ready to invite more of?

✨ Where can I expand with ease instead of effort?

It’s a powerful time to do light rituals, Reiki healing, intuitive journaling—or just sit quietly and listen to your heart under a sunbeam.

🌞 Summer Solstice Soul Ritual (No Cauldron Required)

You don’t need to climb a sacred mountain to tune into this energy (though, go you if you do!). Here’s a gentle ritual you can do wherever you are—even in your west-facing courtyard with a cup of tea:

1. Sit in sunlight. Close your eyes and feel the warmth.

2. Breathe in deeply and on the exhale, say:“I honour my light. I honour this moment. I welcome what’s next.”

3. Write one thing you’re releasing and one thing you’re calling in.

4. Smile, sip your tea, and let the magic integrate.

🌿 June Reflections: Soul Check-In

• Are your goals still aligned with how you feel now?

• Have you been nourishing your energy—or running on empty?

• What small changes could make your day feel softer, kinder, lighter?

You might find that your body is craving different foods, that you need more outdoor time, or that your creativity wants to come out and play.

Give yourself permission to shift.

🌿 What’s Your Dosha? A Gentle Introduction to Ayurvedic Energy

In Ayurveda—the ancient holistic system of health from India—there are three core energies (called doshas) that make up our physical and emotional nature: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Think of them like your inner weather patterns. Each one governs different parts of the body, mind, and personality. We all have a unique blend, but usually one is more dominant. When your doshas are in balance, you feel well. When they’re off… well, you feel “off.”

Here’s a light intro to each:

🌬️ Vata – The Air & Ether Energy

Creative, quick-thinking, full of ideas… but can get overwhelmed easily.

In balance: Energetic, imaginative, adaptable.

Out of balance: Anxious, scattered, dry skin or cold hands.

Needs: Warmth, routine, grounding foods, calming practices.

🔥 Pitta – The Fire & Water Energy

Focused, determined, natural leaders… but can burn out fast.

In balance: Driven, sharp-minded, passionate.

Out of balance: Irritable, overheated, skin flare-ups, digestive issues

Needs: Cooling, rest, spaciousness, kindness (especially to self!)

🌱 Kapha – The Earth & Water Energy

Loyal, nurturing, calm… but can feel sluggish or stuck.

In balance: Stable, strong, compassionate

Out of balance: Lethargy, weight gain, resistance to change

Needs: Movement, motivation, lightness, spice

Knowing your dosha isn’t about labels—it’s about listening.

When you understand your energetic nature, you can better support your mind, body, and soul with the right self-care, foods, movement, and healing.
