Dear Lover of Natural Cosmic Energy Cyclces, Today is a very special day – the sun and moon and earth’s axis are all conjoining to deliver a double whammy opportunity to boost your Qi. Do a ceremony or special meditation to capture the moment and align the sun-moon powers of Nature with your own highest destiny! This article by Melissa Breyer on Treehugger.com explains the mechanics of it all very clearly: http://www.treehugger.com/natural-sciences/strawberry-full-moon-makes-summer-solstice-super-rare-thing.html The strawberry full moon makes this summer solstice a super rare thing. This year the heavenly bodies seem to have conspired to sweeten the pot with an event we haven’t seen in 70 years. The summer solstice isn’t a rare event, a full moon even less so. But they’re both special, and when they just so happen to occur on the same day, as they will this year? That’s once-in-a-lifetime special. The 2016 North American summer solstice happens on June 20, 2016 at 6:34 PM EDT. That’s the very moment when, essentially, the sun stands still at its northernmost point as seen from Earth. Its zenith doesn’t yearn north or south, but waits patiently at the Tropic of Cancer before switching directions and heading south again. This is where the word solstice comes from; the Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop). It’s the day of the year with the most sunlight, the grand dame of long summer days. Even though technically it is only the first day of summer, it may actually be the best one of all. In New York City, we will have a whopping 15.05 hours of daytime. (You can check your day length at the Farmer’s Almanac sunrise and sunset calculator, if you’re so inclined.) The summer solstice alone is iconic enough. It’s a day with a time-honored history rife with pagan celebrations and all things Stonehenge. But this year we get the big beautiful bonus of a full moon, which hits its peak on the same day. This hasn’t happened in 70 years. “Having a full moon land smack on the solstice is a truly rare event,” says Farmer’s Almanac astronomer Bob Berman. “We probably won’t push people off pyramids like the Mayans did, but Slooh [a live-streaming global network of telescopes] will very much celebrate this extraordinary day of light with fascinating factoids and amazing live telescope feeds.” (See below.) Meanwhile, adding a touch of poetry to the whole shebang, the June moon was known as the Strawberry Moon to early Native American tribes, who measured time by things like the moon, rather than a grid on a piece of paper or an electronic device. The full moon that happened now marked the season of strawberries – as it still does. More and more people have started harkening back to these more-seasonal full moon names; it’s an especially lovely practice. Meanwhile, Slooh along with the Farmer’s Almanac will have a live broadcast of the summer solstice/strawberry moon one-two punch from their flagship observatory at the Institute of Astrophysics in the Canary Islands. You can view it here … or better yet, go outside, gaze up and pay homage to the heavens above. ——————–
It’s not too late to join in the cosmic play of Qi, even if you do your ceremony or meditation on Tuesday June 21. It’s a big event. Remember to focus your intent on aligning with the Fire Dragon’s full power: what is it that you wish to bring to full fruition in your life? What do you want to radiate to your loved ones, your community, or the cosmos? Drop the seed of that intent into your ceremony, and let the super-yang solstice + full moon broadcast your message far and wide!

What a Tao Retreat Can Do For You Why is it so important to cultivate your Life Energy at this moment in time? If you are not grounded and ready for the Earth Changes that are happening, you may feel like you are going crazy.

There are cracks appearing in the collective psyche, and weak individuals get overwhelmed by the psychic pressure. Dive into the Tao and get healthy, get grounded, get energetically skillful. Help yourself, help the planet. The very best place to do it is at our retreats in the fabulously beautiful and powerful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We”re at 2500 feet elevation, which offers very welcome cool during the heat of summer. 7 out of 10 of the highest mountain peaks on the USA east coast are within a few hour’s drive of our retreat center.
