The Power of the Summer Solstice
Posted by Kris Stecker on 21 Jun 2010 at 03:42 am | Tagged as: Prosperity
The Summer Solstice is a pivotal energy shift that can be used to increase your prosperity. The key is to be conscious of the shift and position your energy to benefit from the shift.
This is the completion of the expansion cycle and the beginning of the contraction cycle. The expansion started with the Winter Solstice around December 21st. It was when the energy shifted from collecting energy into setting up the patterns for what you wanted to manifest in the next cycle. It was a good time to set goals for the next six months of transformation and manifestation. Think of the goals as the seeds of your future which used the cycle of expansion to sprout and grow.
Now you are at the completion of the cycle of germination and growth and are moving into the collection of the results of the expansion. It is a time to focus first, foremost and constantly on gratitude. Gratitude is the magnet that prepares your energy for receiving everything that is coming to you. The most powerful position is to be open to receive the Divine gifts of transformation that you have initiated coming to you. This only can happen if you are open to receiving. Gratitude is the antenna that allows you to get good reception.
It’s important to recognize the scope of what you are about to receive to maximize the benefits and the abundance. Remember that you are a work in progress that is constantly being transformed. The core of your transformation comes from what you receive in energy, lessons, connections and support. Be aware and grateful for all of these areas. Objects and possessions are at the end of the list and of the lowest value so do not let that be the focus of your gratitude. There is nothing wrong with objects, it’s just that too many people focus on objects and miss the amazing abundance that is coming to them all the time. When the focus is on objects it can block the reception of all of the other great abundance that comes to you.
A great tool for expanding your reception is to journal. Every day write down all that has come into your life. This includes experiences and lessons that you may not understand as being what you wanted but ultimately, if they come to you there is a reason. By capturing the information in your journal, it gives you time to reflect on it and use the information in the future. Have gratitude as you record each new manifestation. Meditate on it and receive it into you. Feel the joy of receiving a gift, especially if it is something that you don’t understand or think you didn’t want. Often the challenging events or energies are the most precious for moving you forward on your path.
During the collection and reception phase the energy cycle is also contracting or pulling more deeply inside. Since the Summer Solstice is the peak openness it is a great time to feel yourself absorb the bounty at the highest rate. As the season progresses into Autumn and Winter, the rate of reception reduces but the intensity of what you have within you increases. As the contraction tightens is the time to use all of the energy, experiences and events that you have been harvesting all summer and use it to transform yourself to the core in preparation for the next cycle of expansion and growth.
Getting the Most Out of the Solstice
- Take a few moments to breath deeply and feel all the light you can, expanding into your being. You can breath in more light and energy today than any other day of the year. This is the peak expansion moment.
- Lock in your reception mode by starting a new journal for the new cycle. Buy a note book and start it today. The more you use it, the better the results.
- Take time to do a gratitude meditation, preferably with like minded people who understand the power of the Solstice. The more gratitude you can collectively focus on, the more you will all attract to yourself. Give thanks for the opportunity to grow and ask that you may have an abundance of what you need to continue to transform yourself and that it comes to you in the most harmonious and easy way.
By making this part of your daily reality, you will experience the coming cycle of transformation on a very profound and perpetual level. Repetition is key to gaining the benefits of the cycles. Constant focus is the key. If you have ever studied a guru, saint, master or teacher who is enlightened, you will see that the only difference between you and them is that they have mastered focusing on the Divine every moment of the day and night. The more they focused on the Divine, the more exulted their state. The key is to create the environment that will keep you focused on receiving the abundance of the Divine.
So celebrate the Summer Solstice and use the energy to receive the abundance you deserve.
Sincerely,
Kris
p.s. What are you going to do to receive your abundance?
Kris, your message is perfect for today and going forward. Time to reap the benefits of all the work, thoughts, and actions leading up to the Solstice. Just being open to receive is powerful.
Thanks, Pat
Yes, I need job immediately as my UI benefits have been zapped with a claim issue. When I focus on the Guru I feel like a millionaire but its doesnit pay the bills. Pray I get a job this week.
Thanks Kris

This Summer Solstice is the first day of that new dawn…
THank you Kris. This message was needed for me today, and is much appreciated. The cycle of manifestation is powerful and gratitude for all of lifes gifts (including the challenging ones) is very important.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your insights
Breathe Deeply All Day!!!!
Kris thank-you for the inspirational reminder. In the hustle of the day a gentle reminder such as this can truly change the trajectory of a person’s life. I have found that RYSE has been a valuable tool to really support me in honing into the gifts of gratitude.
Gratefulness comes from the heart.
It cannot be measured,
Cannot be contained,
Nor bought nor sold.
Gratefulness is a gift,
It comes forth freely of its own
From within our souls,
As recognition
That we have become One

Awesome message and right on time! I will spend the rest of the day breathing and gathering light as well as being grateful for all that I have—for all that there is. Thank you.
Kris, Thank you so much. Read this yesterday and it made the day so much richer! Many transitions occurring so gratitude and drawing in the divine each moment allows for that “doing” that is “non-doing.” I feel abundant no matter what is happening. Please feel free to send other wonderful messages… much appreciated!

This article was appropriately timed. I felt very inspired to continue on my path.
The article also made me re-realize even though a very close friend is moving out of the area, the gratitude I feel having met and having them become a very significant part of my life.
The Universe does work in mysterious ways and sometimes we fall asleep to what is in front of us. At other times, we fail to see the clues being sent to help guide us on our life’s journey. Thank you for the beautiful reminder to stay awake.

Thank you very much. The universe works in mysterious ways and some times we fall sleep and miss the messages. While other times, it simnply reminds us to slow down and enjoy what is right in front of us.
I have a very dear friend who is moving out of the area. The article has made me realize just how blessed I am to have met them and enjoyed the time they were here. The friend- ship will simply transcend to a new level.
Thank you for the perspective.

Thank you Kris,
I acctually gratuated from Massage School on the Summer Solstice 4 yrs ago. Recently began my morning in my back yard with our cat on one side,our dog on other looking out at our playful 2 goats,our duck & goose. I look around at our beautiful lush green yard and gardens. Then I breath in the white light close my eyes, give Thanks, meditate on becoming one w/the universe.
So Thank You, for your message I feel I’m on the right path and feel even more impowered.
With Grace and Gratutude.

Thank you for this, Kris. I especially resonate with, “Gratitude is the antenna that allows you to get good reception,” the collective focus on gratitude, and the significance (and magnificence) of repetition.
With heart-knowing gratitude,
Jane
Thanks Kris! I am grateful for all that you and Nancy do!
Loved the poem on gratefulness. And the messages from all of you. Thank you.
Blessings, Jo
Thanks Kris,
Very inspirational and helpful to me. Simple but profound truths like these are wonderful to receive in my life which can feel too busy and overwhelming. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Dear Kris,
I am thankful today to be on your e-mailing list. I didn’t know why my two sessions were so different today, in a good way- until I read your letter. Your letter made me so happy that I graduated from Spa Tech, took the Polarity/Holistic massage program, and glad to be on this journey. Thanks for letting your light shine. Thanks for caring about your alumni enough to share your wealth of knowledge.
Thanks Kris it is so very important to thankful and be grateful for all the good things that are in our lives. I am going through a rough time right now and focusing on all the light and good things that are in my life really helps put things into perspective. I just need to meditate more and shift my focus to the light side of things.
Hello Kris
Can you give us a calender of the contraction and expansion of the energy cycles the begin and end months. I think this will help me become conscious of my energy levels and move them accordingly. Thanks in advance
I recommend you Google “solstice dates” to get accurate dates and times where you live.
The contracting cycle starts at the summer solstice around June 21-22. The expanding cycle starts in the winter around December 21-22. 2010 Winter Solstice has some other interesting aspects that may intensify the starting point.
The solstice is a turning point from contraction to expansion in winter and expansion to contraction in summer. If you think of it like a pedulum, it’s the point where it reaches the extreme of the swing and then reverses direction. The rate of change is actually slowest at the time of either solstice and reaches the highest rate of change at the spring and fall equinox on March 21-22 and September 21-22 respectively. The planning works best at the turning point since the rate of change in the middle is so fast that it demands all of your attention.
The solstice is a particularly good time for changes in direction. It’s always easiest to do at a pivot point. It’s harder to do when you are in full swing.
