Dive into Your Feelings: Therapeutic Suggestions for Cancer

As we approach June 20th, the Sun is preparing to enter the sensitive and imaginative sign of Cancer, remaining in this energy until July 22nd. This is a season that invites us to dive into the depths of our emotions, to find comfort in our home, and to value family connections. How can we make the most of this energy?

1. Connect with Water: Cancer is a sign ruled by the Water element, which symbolizes vitality and renewal. During this period, it's essential to stay hydrated and seek contact with this element. This can be done through tranquil moments near the sea, a waterfall, or a pool, or simply by taking a relaxing bath.

   
   

2. Create an Inner Sanctuary: The symbol of the Cancer sign is a crab that carries its home on its back, reminding us that our true home is within ourselves. By cultivating self-compassion and offering ourselves the emotional support we seek in the external world, we build an inner core of protection that accompanies us everywhere.

   
   

3. Cultivate Intimacy: The energy of the Cancer sign teaches us about emotional bonds. The more we can create connections, the more confident we feel in ourselves. Take this opportunity to strengthen your relationships, creating spaces of intimacy, tranquility, and coziness.

   
   

4. Learn to Take Care of Yourself: It's only by taking care of ourselves that we can truly take care of others. Value your vulnerability, as it is through it that we develop our strength and identity. Take some time to practice self-care and nourish your own soul during this season.

Meditation to Attune to Cancer Energy

Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and begin to focus on your breath. Visualize an orange light radiating from your second chakra, the Svadhisthana Chakra, located in the pelvic region. This chakra is linked to emotions and the expression of the joy of living.

After connecting with this energy center, direct your attention to your heart chakra, visualizing a green light emanating unconditional love. Breathe deeply and feel your chest open to receive and give love.

Stay in this meditative state for a few breaths, repeating the mantra:

"I feel, I care, I protect."

At the end of the meditation, open your eyes and allow yourself to feel the serenity this practice brings.

The energy of Cancer invites us to dive into the depths of our souls and nourish our emotional connections. Even if you're not a Cancer, you can use this period to connect with its energy and explore your potential for self-care and unconditional love. May this season be an opportunity to cultivate greater compassion for yourself and others.

See you soon on another journey of self-knowledge and emotional growth!

With love,
