Over the past few summers, I’ve indulged myself in taking a 3 or 4 day weekend right around the time of my birthday. This is not to travel or vacation anywhere in particular so much as to allow myself to slow down and enjoy some of the same summertime experiences I had as a child. Those long, lazy afternoons spent on a blanket in the grassy yard reading a Nancy Drew or Judy Blume novel or exploring the tide pools along the rocky beach down the road from my house are looked back upon with a great sense of gratitude and joy, and my adult self still takes pleasure in connecting with that part of my magical inner child. This year’s long weekend for me was extra special because it was the weekend the final Harry Potter novel came out, giving my inner magical child a true feast of imagination and adventure. While it rained all day that Monday and I didn’t make it to a grassy park or a beach to enjoy the adventures of Mr. Potter, I took genuine pleasure in the simple indulgence of spending an entire day on the couch just reading to the soothing background sound of the rain. How often as adults do we get such indulgent moments?
As we are now past the midpoint of summer, there are several weeks still left to take the opportunity to recapture those simple joys we experienced as children. Whether it’s an entire day at the amusement park, an afternoon spent at the park or beach or simply enjoying a refreshing ice cream cone or lemonade, taking whatever time one can to reconnect with those simple pleasures from childhood is a great way to strike a conversation with one’s inner child. It offers an opportunity to check in with that part of the higher Self that dares to see beyond life’s day to day responsibilities and dream. These simple moments can create an energetic shift that is exhilarating and quite transforming. At the very least, such simple pleasures offer one the opportunity to breathe, relax and know that all is well and not to worry, just for today.
New Moon in Leo
With a new moon in Leo, this week is a great time to connect with your magical inner child and see what creative ideas are looking to come out. Take a few moments to close your eyes, breathe and connect with spirit. What ideas, images, colors, sounds or vibrations come to you? Perhaps writing or drawing about what you experience will get the imagination flowing, bringing new ideas to the surface and giving your magical child an opportunity to express itself. It’s amazing what you’ll discover.
