Sunday is one of my favorite days of the entire year and I wanted to write something that actually does it justice because it deserves more than a cute graphic with a sunflower on it, and I love sunflowers lol, but this moment is genuinely special and I wanted to be able to pass on the feeling.
This Sunday June 21st we have the Summer Solstice and Cancer season beginning on the exact same day, which means we are walking through two portals simultaneously and the energy of that is something I think a lot of us are already feeling even if we don’t have words for it yet. So let me give you some words for it. And also, can I just say, my birthday is June 27th so I feel this energy in my whole body every single year and this one feels especially electric.
I’m going to do another full post on Cancer season next for my paid subscribers tomorrow because it deserves it’s own energy and I have so much to share on that but this will break down everything you need to know to tap into the manifestation power of the solstice…
As a Kundalini yoga teacher and someone who has been working with energy and seasons and cycles for a long time, the Summer Solstice is one of the most sacred days of the year for me. In the Kundalini tradition, the solstice has been honored for over 50 years with a massive gathering in the high desert mountains of New Mexico called the Summer Solstice Sadhana, where thousands of practitioners come together for nine days of Kundalini yoga, White Tantric Yoga, early morning sadhana in what’s called the Amrit Vela (the hours before sunrise when the mind is most open and receptive), kirtan, and community. It is genuinely one of the most transformational things you can experience. Last year I taught at the solstice gathering and it was so magical, one of those experiences that just stays with you. This year I’m going to Pismo Beach for a family camping trip for my birthday and I could not be more excited about it, but I always carry that solstice energy with me wherever I am.
The reason the solstice matters so deeply in Kundalini teachings is because of what solar energy does to us. The sun at its peak connects directly to your third chakra, your navel center, which is your seat of willpower, confidence, courage, and the ability to take action from a place of real power. When that center is activated you stop second-guessing yourself. You stop waiting for permission. You stop shrinking. You just move. The solstice is like a cosmic upgrade to that inner fire and it would be a genuine waste not to work with it on purpose.
I’ll never forget a summer solstice last year when I was teaching in New Mexico. Desert sky. Portals wide open. The kind of night where you feel the universe talking and you would be embarrassed not to listen. And in the middle of it all I got a download so loud it was impossible to ignore: build the teacher training. That one yes in the middle of the desert on the longest day of the year became the entire next chapter of my business and my life. What made that download possible wasn’t just the ceremony or the setting. It was that I had finally created enough space inside myself to actually receive it. And that is what the solstice does. It doesn’t create the magic. It amplifies what you’ve already been cultivating.
And if you didn’t see applications are open now for my first ever INTUNE KUNDALINI TEACHER TRAINING…and I’m so excited about it. You can get details and apply here before pre-sale ends: https://intunebybritt.com/teacher-training-pre-sale
So for everyone reading this, the things you have been calling in are so much closer than you think. Let’s make sure you’re wide open to receive them.
What the Summer Solstice Actually Is
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, meaning the sun is at its absolute maximum power and light. This is the day where light wins. Where the sun says I am here, fully, at maximum capacity, holding nothing back, not dimming for anyone, and you are invited to match that energy.
The sun does not apologize for being bright. It doesn’t wonder if it’s too much. It doesn’t check to see if everyone is comfortable before it rises. It just shows up completely every single day and asks you to receive it. That is the whole invitation of the solstice. Be the sun. Don’t hold back. Connect to the power of the sun, allow yourself to enter the light of your own being, and please, do not hold back.
And this year it’s even more potent. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, and opportunity, has been in Cancer since 2025 and it leaves Cancer forever on June 30th. So this solstice is your last portal under Jupiter in Cancer’s energy: the energy of expanding through emotional channels, building foundations that actually hold, and receiving in a way that is rooted rather than frantic. This window does not come back for 12 years. The most exciting part is not just that the portal is open. It’s that you are ready to walk through it.
I am so genuinely excited for everything that is already moving and what I know is coming and I want all of us to step into it with full intention. So here is your complete guide.
Your Summer Solstice Rituals
Cast your spells and write it all down.
The solstice is one of the most potent manifesting windows of the entire year because the energy of the sun amplifies everything you put your intention behind. So write down what you want to call in. Not the watered down version, not the responsible version, the real version of what you actually want. Write it down with deep intention and then get your whole body ready to receive it because that’s the part most people skip, the receiving part, the actually letting it land part.
Protect your energy.
Before any ritual work, take a moment to wrap yourself in white light. Close your eyes and visualize yourself completely surrounded and sealed in it, with everything that no longer serves you burning off in the solar energy of this day. This is energetic hygiene and it matters especially when you’re working with amplified solar energy. You want your field clear so you can actually hold what you’re calling in.
Get outside and be in the actual sun and play with Nature
Go outside today. Stand in it. Feel it on your skin. And while you’re out there, reflect on your peak moments and accomplishments from this year because you have done so much and you deserve to actually acknowledge it. Be proud of yourself. The solstice is the perfect moment for that. Make a simmer pot and write your intentions on the bay leaves or create a flower mandala outdoors.
Tune into fire.
Light a candle. Build a fire if you have one. Make something warm and medicinal to drink. The herbs ruled by the sun that are especially powerful today are chamomile, sunflower, St. John’s Wort, lavender, ginger, reishi, and rosemary. Sip slowly and let the warmth remind your nervous system what it feels like to be nourished and held.
Tune to 432 hz.
Put on music or a meditation at 432 hz, which is said to be nature’s frequency and has the potential to synchronize both hemispheres of the brain. Your whole body settles into it in a way that’s hard to explain until you’ve tried it. It’s a beautiful frequency for any intentional practice today.
Lead with joy and gratitude.
Joy and gratitude are the ultimate states of receivership, meaning when you are genuinely in those states your whole system opens up to receive abundance in a way nothing else can create. Tap into your heart today. Think about what you’re genuinely grateful for. Let yourself feel it in your body. Then prepare to receive from that open and expansive place.
The Kundalini Solstice Practice (what I actually do)
Kundalini works differently than most solstice practices. Instead of setting intentions outward first, you clear the channel first, then you receive. Think of it as unclogging the drain before you turn on the water.
Start at sunrise if you can, or within the first hour of morning. You’ll need about 45 minutes, but even 20 minutes of the core sequence will shift something.
Part 1: Spinal warm-up (5 minutes). Spine flex in easy pose, then spinal twists. You’re waking up the kundalini channel that runs from the base of the spine to the crown. The solstice is a solar event and the spine is how solar energy moves through the body.
Part 2: Archer Pose (11 minutes each side). This is the one. Archer pose builds what we call Shakti Pad, the bridge between the lower and higher chakras. 11 minutes each side on the solstice feels like a download session. Your mind will try to negotiate with you at minute 7. Stay in it.
Part 3: Ajai Alai meditation (11 minutes). This mantra translates as “indestructible, beyond time, beyond all fear.” Chant it out loud or listen and follow along. I set a timer, close my eyes, and let the mantra do what mantras do. Here’s the track I like: https://music.apple.com/us/album/ajai-alai/1132378000?i=1132378015
Part 4: Savasana in sun (5 to 10 minutes). Lie in the sun if you can, or near a window. This is integration time. The download comes in savasana. Do not skip it. Do not reach for your phone. Just receive.
The 9-Day Jupiter Window (June 21 to June 30)
This is the part I really want you to understand because it makes this entire week sacred in a way that goes beyond just the solstice day itself.
Jupiter in Cancer has been one of the most potent abundance transits of the last 12 years for emotional receiving, foundation-building, and expanding your capacity to hold more. When Jupiter moves to Leo on June 30th the energy shifts to bold outward expression and visibility, which is also incredible. But these next 9 days are the closing ceremony of an entire year-long invitation to receive more from the inside out. Use them.
Days 1 to 3 (June 21 to 23): Open. Do the Kundalini practice. Journal on what you genuinely desire. Not the edited version, the real version. What do you actually want to receive in your life, your work, your relationships? Write it like it’s already yours because energetically it can be.
Days 4 to 6 (June 24 to 26): Calibrate. Start making decisions from the version of you who already received it. What would she post? What offer would she make? What conversation would she have? Act from that woman.
Days 7 to 9 (June 27 to 30): Commit. Before Jupiter leaves Cancer, anchor in one decision that scares you in the best way. Make the offer. Send the pitch. Launch the thing. Let the portal close with you already through it.
The 3 Solstice Questions I ask every year
Every June 21st I sit with these three questions and write the answers without editing. I give myself full permission to want what I want.
What do I most desire to receive in this next season of my life?
What would I do this week if I fully believed I was ready right now?
What download have I been saying not yet to?
The third one is always the real one. There’s always something the portal has been trying to hand me that I’ve been politely delaying. In New Mexico, that thing was the teacher training. What’s yours?
Come be with me Sunday morning
I am going live on Instagram at 9am this Sunday for a free Summer Solstice meditation and I want you there. We’re going to open this portal together, get grounded in the energy of the day, and set our intentions for the season ahead. Come as you are, bring your coffee or your cacao or your chamomile, and let’s do this together. Find me at @intunebybritt
And then Cancer season begins
Here’s the thing that makes this Sunday even more significant: Cancer season begins on the exact same day as the solstice, which means as the longest day of light closes, the energy of homecoming begins.
I say this as a Cancer sun myself and someone who feels this season in her bones every single year. Cancer is not what people think it is. People hear Cancer and they think emotional, sensitive, maybe a little fragile, and while we are absolutely emotionally deep and proud of it, Cancer is actually one of the most powerful signs in the zodiac because it has learned to feel everything and keep building anyway. The crab carries its home on its back. It knows that safety is not something you find out there, it’s something you create inside yourself and take with you everywhere you go.
Cancer season runs from June 21st through July 22nd and it’s ruled by the moon, which means the themes that come up are intuition, emotional safety, nourishment, belonging, the people and spaces that feel like home, and learning to receive without guilt. If Gemini season was about ideas and moving fast, Cancer season asks you to slow down and feel. To ask yourself what you actually need. To stop overgiving long enough to notice what’s been depleted.
This season is here to help you feel safer in your body and your life, create a steadier emotional foundation, stop overgiving and start honoring your own needs, reconnect with your intuition, build routines that actually nourish you, and receive more without the guilt that usually shows up right alongside it.
Your softness is not weakness. Your needs are not too much. Your emotional world is not something to push through. It is genuinely part of your power and this season is here to remind you of that.
How to work with it: come home to your body before you try to optimize anything. Build in more rest than you think you need, not as a reward but as a foundation. Work with the moon because Cancer is ruled by it and the lunar cycle is especially potent this season. We have a Full Moon in Capricorn on June 29th for releasing what you’ve been carrying alone, and a New Moon in Cancer on July 14th for planting intentions around emotional safety, home, and nourishment. Create spaces that feel like sanctuaries. And receive the help that’s being offered. Cancer season always reveals where we’ve been insisting on doing everything alone.
