Summer and Relationships

Summer is about Relationships - Find your Tribe.

Believe it or not there are people out there just like you. No matter how weird you think you or your beliefs are. You are not alone and when you think you are, the universe will send someone to walk along your path with you, even if for just a little while. Some of us go through life thinking we were either born into the wrong family, born in the wrong century or for some, we think we may have landed on the wrong planet.

Summer is the time of the fire element and is about the heart, relationships, joy and laughter. This can translate to passion and a focus on intimate relationships as well as lots of socializing and partying within the wider scope of friendship. The heart helps us be our true self and works with our intuition. This element is paired with the small intestine which represents clarity, discernment and judgment needed to see what is good for us and who is not.

It takes time to learn what a good relationship looks like. Some of us are lucky enough to see it first hand with role models. Most of us learn by trial and error as we experience what it feels like to be around people that help us feel at peace with ourselves or not. We feel at peace when we are accepted for who we are by both others and ourselves.

Even better is to find someone who is interested in us and cares enough to actually listen and hear what we are saying. These valuable friends want to know the real you, not make assumptions about who they think you are. Often you can feel a connection with the people who get-you. You are not a role in a play on the stage planet earth. Don't be afraid to venture out beyond your known circle if you find yourself stuck with the wrong friends.

Good friends are those you can trust with your feelings and who are willing to reciprocate. They are the folks you can go to when times are difficult and feel safe. They are the folks that will not abandon you when you make mistakes or have a difference of opinion. Even if you can find one such person with whom you can experience just some of these attributes, this is priceless.

That resonance of energy with like minded folks gives you a sense of belonging and that you matter. Good relationships help you to see yourself in a better light through the eyes of those who love you and respect you. You can feel with your heart energy, who and what is right for you, when you practice paying attention to it. Your tribe will help you increase your energy and accelerate your own healing. Healing takes love, compassion, intention, some divine help and friends.
