in rhythm - June: Protection

welcome to summer

June carries more movement.

More invitations.
More demands.
More energy moving through the world.

After Spring’s emergence, something important has begun to live again.

June asks what protects it.

Vitality needs boundaries.

Without protection, energy scatters.
Without limits, growth burns itself out.

Protection is not about shutting life out.
It’s about tending what matters enough to last.

A Deeper Consideration

What deserves protection now that it’s alive again?

Not everything needs access to you.

Somatic pause:
Place a hand over your chest. Feel what you want to keep close.

—

Where does my energy get spent too easily?

Invitation is not obligation.

Somatic pause:
Notice where your body tightens at the thought of saying no.

A Lighter Noticing

What feels worth tending right now?

Some things require attention.
Others require consistency.

Somatic pause:
Imagine watering one plant instead of many.

—

What feels easier to protect than before?

Growth often shows up as clarity.

Somatic pause:
Sit or stand taller.

June reminds us that vitality doesn’t require availability.

Closing Ritual

Pause.

Ask quietly:

What am I allowed to protect now?

You don’t need to explain your answer.
