Summer Energy Clear-Out
Summer has finally graced London with its presence, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. While I deeply appreciate the four distinct seasons we experience in the UK and my home country, Norway, there's a unique beauty and spirituality in the seasonal transitions. The arrival of summer, in particular, fills me with optimism and energy.
Nonetheless, I’m a child of summer, and my sign is Leo, the element of fire, so any hot weather really gives me energy. I also struggle with a bit of SAD, so some sun really does the trick.
That aside, we are here to discuss energy and why it is essential to clear out ours regularly. Simply by living, our energy body can build up blocked and stagnant energy, similar to the pipes in our kitchen or any other pipes. Occasionally, we must pour some Mr Muscle drain cleaner down there.
When these energy “pipes” get blocked, that can easily lead to blocked emotions, communication struggles, lack of purpose, etc.
Let's take a moment to reflect on the blockages we might be carrying from the previous season. This is an opportunity for some introspection and self-discovery.
For my community and readership, I pulled The Devil Tarot Card as a prompt to help and as a sign of where many of us energetically are. The card, which understandably sounds pretty ominous, is a complicated, energetic archetype.
The Devil Tarot Card
Despite its ominous name, the Devil Tarot Card is a complex and energetic archetype. It symbolises over-ambition, excessive focus on the external world, and a lack of inward reflection. However, it also represents the potential to be a powerful force for change and transformation.
So, my journaling question to you is:
For instance, toxic energies could manifest in the form of a toxic relationship, a job that drains you, or even negative self-talk. In what areas of your life are you not taking accountability and responsibility for the toxic energies that are taking up space in your life? And what are you going to do about it?
Visualise letting go
In addition to journaling on the question, I’d like you to take a few minutes to visualise this toxic energy in whatever way works for you. You could imagine it as a dark cloud dissipating, a heavy weight being lifted, or a door closing on a chapter of your life. Then, see yourself filing it away. Let it become a memory from the past you have learned from, and you are ready to move on.
I also allow energies that are no longer serving me to take up space; we are the only ones who can do anything about it.
For example, in the past, I let a friend's energy lead me to live with them much longer than I should have. Eventually, I had to move and let the friendship go entirely. It was the only way forward. Meditation and journaling were the ways I found my way through it.
Summer Energy Clear-out Flow:
Ensure that you are in a space where you will not disturbed, and set a timer for 15-20 minutes.
Light a candle and get some pen and paper.
Connect with your body through gentle, conscious, connected breathing. With your eyes closed, take ten breaths of inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
Ask yourself the journaling prompt from above. Write out everything that shows up.
With your eyes closed, visualise the toxic energy being filed away.
Take a moment with yourself to close the practice.
