Summer Practices

Some ideas for Summertime activities:

Celebrate! Take advantage of the natural enthusiasm of the Summer and do things that bring you Joy.

Work from the Heart. Recall your passions and express yourself from your Heart in everything that you do.

Play! Take a tip from little kids. Join a team, get on a swing, paddle a boat, laugh with friends, build a sand castle, play catch, and go hiking

Notice the unique fragrance and presentation of the flowers in bloom. Let yourself blossom and show yourself to the world. See the beauty in those around you.

Eat berries by the handful - its like storing up sweet sunshine for the Winter.

Connect with people you may not have seen in awhile. Reach out to neighbors and extend yourself a little more that you might in cooler months.

Notice when you need a quiet break from it all and take a day to be indoors and more still - a day of quiet Yin within the Yang season.
