I love Solstice! 

White Tantric Yoga and morning sadhanas with hundreds of people chanting together; the energy and divine love experience is entirely incomparable! This is my thirty-fifth year of two solstices per year, and still going strong.  What a tremendous blessing!  The energetic charge there is tremendous, nurturing and sustaining.
 
I've also been blessed to serve as the camp doctor for three decades, another marvelous experience. We've discovered something interesting in our First Aid area.  Illnesses and injuries at or before Solstice take on a deeper significance.
 
You know how they say that, when the dog barking is getting in the way of your meditation, just let the barking be part of the meditation?  Well, try that with the meditation of getting to Solstice.  Let everything that might seem to be getting in the way of this pre-Tantric experience fold right into the Tantric experience.  If everything comes from God, then why not your work schedule, an injury, or a financial problem too?  Let each apparent problem transform into a lesson or a gift.
 
May we find the deepest desire of our hearts and let that intention unfold, while meditative perception discovers how the divine intelligence is at play in every aspect of life.
