Why not embrace June’s Full Moon and go a bit strawberry crazy?
- Sun Tea�– This time of year Summer Solstice is very close and the sun’s energy is powerful. Use that power to add a kick to your intentions placed into a refreshing tea! Place 8 tea bags in a gallon jar full of water. Feel free to add additional strawberries, fruit, or herbs of your choice depending on your intention. Place where it will soak up sunlight for approximately 3-5 hours.
- Use the Strawberry Moon to have some fun in the kitchen by creating cakes, pies, muffins, cupcakes, pound cakes, or maybe some chocolate-covered strawberries! Eating food that is in season and local keeps you aligned with Nature and the Moon. It helps you to remember that you are not separate from Nature, but connected and deeply rooted with it.
- Try placing a bottle of vodka or tequila beneath the full Moon similar to creating Moon Water. After the liquor is charged, soak strawberries in the liquor for an hour. You can add to pies, place them on top of ice cream (vanilla bean is my favorite), or you can freeze them and place them in strawberry margaritas or some adult lemonade! You can call it… Moonshine! Ha!
- Go berry picking at a local farm or check out the farmer’s market
If you’re short on time, just keep it simple. Buy yourself some fresh organic strawberries and take a moment to enjoy their beauty. Savor every delicious bite while sitting beneath the full Moon.
Solar Strength From June’s Powerful Sun
The vitality of the sun is currently at its peak during the season of the Strawberry Moon. Embrace the abundance Nature is offering because from this point on the days will start to get shorter.
Find ways to be fully illuminated by this dazzling solar energy! Here are a few ideas to get you started and don’t forget the sunscreen:
- Talk a walk in the park or somewhere out in Nature. Find a quiet spot where you can just be still and silent.
- Enjoy a picnic complete with fresh seasonal foods. Don’t forget the strawberries!
- Find a local watering hole and jump in! Spending time with water is such a cleansing and refreshing experience. If it’s still too cold where you live to go for a swim, you can still sit next to and enjoy the relaxing sounds of a babbling stream or creek. Bring some stale bread to feed the ducks or geese.
- Go for a back road country drive. Get out of the city, blast your favorite tunes, and bring along your best conversational loved one. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy any interesting sites.
- Visit a local brewery or vineyard and try something new
- Go camping
- Enjoy a good book in a comfy outdoor chair
- Keep it simple and lay on a blanket beneath the warm sun
