New Season, New Energy: A Gentle Reset for the Summer

Gently resetting your energy and intentions for the season ahead.

It always seems to arrive in a rush, doesn’t it? One minute we’re in jumpers and thick socks, and the next the light is stretching out into the evenings and the air feels a little softer. Summer is here — the sun is shining and just like we change over our wardrobes and crack open the windows, it’s the perfect time to pause….

Think of it as an opportunity to slow down, look within, and ask: What do I want to feel this season?

Because when we take a little time to tune in and reset our energy, we open the door for the kind of season we want — one filled with ease, light, and more of what truly nourishes us.

First: Let the old energy go

Before setting new intentions, it helps to clear a little space — both literally and energetically. If your energy’s felt heavy, stuck or scattered lately, this might be why. Summer brings with it a lighter, brighter rhythm, and clearing away stagnant energy helps us meet that with clarity and purpose.

Here are few simple ways to shift the energy around you:

• Open the windows and let the fresh air move through your space (and you!)

• Use a sage stick to gently cleanse your home — inviting out what’s no longer needed, and calling in what is
  

• Declutter just one small area — a drawer, a shelf, a corner — and see how the light shifts in your space.
  

This doesn’t have to be a big, dramatic cleanse. Small changes ripple far. Think of it as brushing off the cobwebs to make space for something new to arrive in your life.

Then: Set a fresh intention for the season

Once things feel clearer, take a moment to set an intention for summer. This isn’t about huge goals or overwhelming to-do lists — it’s about anchoring yourself to a feeling or a way of being you want to carry with you over the next few months.

It might be something like:

• I want to feel light and spacious in my body and mind.
  

• I want to connect more deeply with what brings me joy.
  

• I want to take things slower and truly savour the season.
  
  

Keep your intention simple and honest. Write it down, whisper it to yourself, or keep it close with a little talisman — a crystal from our Manifest Collection can be a lovely anchor for this. Choose the one that best supports your summer intention.

How to Create a Summer Ritual 

If you feel like summer has crept up without giving you a moment to breathe, this ritual is your invitation to pause — to realign with yourself before you dive into the season. Think of it as a reset button, designed to gently sweep away energetic clutter and clarify how you want to feel in the coming weeks.

You don’t need to do this perfectly or even at a set time of day — just carve out a small, quiet pocket for yourself. Morning sunlight, golden hour, or even a soft candlelit evening will all do beautifully.

You’ll need:

• A quiet corner (indoors or outside — whatever feels grounding)
  

• A tealight or one of our meditation candles
  

• A sage stick or cleansing tool you enjoy using
  

• A selenite crystal for purification and calm
  

• A pen and paper (or journal, if you have one)
  

Step-by-step:

1. Light your candle to gently mark the start of your ritual. Take three long, slow breaths and settle your body into a comfy spot. Focus on the candle's flame to help focus your mind and ease busy thoughts. Stay here for as long as you need to help you feel calm and relaxed.
   

2. Use your sage stick to cleanse your space. Move slowly, with intention — letting the smoke move through corners or around your body. Say aloud (or in your heart):
   “I clear away the energy that no longer serves me. I make space for peace, clarity, and joy.”
   

3. Hold your selenite in one hand and place the other over your heart. Breathe deeply and connect from within.
   

4. Ask yourself:
   What energy am I carrying that I no longer need?
   What do I want to welcome in this season?
   How do I want to feel each day as summer unfolds?
   

5. Write down whatever comes up. No pressure or perfection, just honest reflections — even a few words will do.
   

6. Close your eyes and visualise your intention for the season, held gently in your hands like a glowing light. Let it feel real. Let it feel possible.
   

7. When you’re ready, blow out your candle as a way of sealing your intention. Keep your intentions written somewhere visible, or tuck a note into your journal or under your pillow.
   

Your Season, Your Energy

However tempting it is, Summer isn’t about doing more — it’s about aligning with what you really need. And often, that starts with simply making a little space.

Space to breathe.
Space to be intentional.
Space to choose how you want to feel — instead of being swept up in the noise of busy days and outside expectations.

So, whether you do this ritual once at the start of the season or return to it when you need a reset, trust that these small moments have power. They help you reconnect with your centre — and from there, anything is possible.
