Since the dawn of time, humans have been fascinated by the sun. Radiating
power from the sky, our star, Sol, is a creative force that is unparalleled.
Its brilliant rays illuminate the seasons, give heat, imbue all living beings
with vital life-force energy, and banish the dangers that only come out in
the dark. Sol is a sparkling though mysterious jewel and has been given many
names by many cultures.
To a large extent, our lives are ordered around the brilliant illumination of
the sun. The sun drives the cycles of our days and seasons while providing us
with a framework we can use for running our lives. The reappearance of the
sun after a long stretch of night has the power to inspire us when we awaken.
Likewise, Sol can be a powerful symbol of hope, elation, joy, growth, and
creativity. The sun has much to teach us. Early astronomers saw the sun’s
constancy as a signifier of its great strength, courage, and power. Its
illumination and steady flow of energy is there whether or not we are able to
see it. The sun is the great and unselfish giver, rising into the sky at the
start of each day to energize us, bathe us in radiance, and provide us with
innumerable blessings. A simple, sun-centered ritual can help you harness
this loving energy. Awaken before dawn and go outdoors to watch the sun’s
ascent. As it rises into view, close your eyes, bask in its light, and
imagine your soul ascending alongside it. Feel yourself grow as you absorb
the sun’s energy. Express your appreciation for all the sun gives to the
world.
The sun’s nurturing heat is there to warm you and allow you to flourish. Its
energy nourishes the food you eat, while its light allows you to see the
beauty in the world. The sun represents internal balance and burns with
controlled power. Without the sun’s golden light, the spirit suffers. When we
take time to bask in the sun, our spirit soars.
