Leo season is here! We are in “heart” season..the Lion..ruled by the Sun and the element of fire. The Sun is a great analogy of what this season is about…boldness, heat, being “on fire”, being the brightest star and the joys and recreation of summer activities. This season the lion is asking us to “soulfully show up”..or so fully show up..as who you truly are. No reservations or holding back. This isn’t about living a life to survive but living a life fully alive and ready to thrive! With Leo the motivation is to be vulnerable enough to let yourself be seen and applauded for who you are at your core. When we let our hearts be open to connect to ourselves and life in this way we open to the joy of being alive.

Physical ways to work with this energy:

Leo rules the heart, spine and upper back so exercise that heart. to connect to it. Get your blood pumping! If you practice yoga, explore backbends and strengthen the upper back! Practice standing tall and connecting to your spine!

My classes will be sequenced to work with this energy all month. Check out my virtual classes here.

Energetic Ways to work with this energy:

Sun breath meditation: Close your eyes and imagine that with each inhale you are breathing the sun’s rays into your heart. As you exhale you are sending courage, creativity, warmth, and love to every cell in your body. Repeat.

Aromatherapy: My Fire blends ( Soulshine, Liquid Sunshine, Guiding Light and Agni roll on) will help cultivate the fire inside you. Read more about them here. Use them with intention. Hold an intention in your mind and heart and then spray. Do this throughout your day to remind you of what you are cultivating. You can use my Agni roll on blend to place over your abdomen or heart.

Here are some tips this month to let yourself shine…
