For Litha I wrote a special Bonfire meditation, and found it to work quite well. Written directly from my Book of Shadows, try if you like. 
Bonfire Meditation
Find a comfortable place, and sit/lye comfortably. Breathe in for seven, hold four, breathe out for seven. Repeat this for a few minutes. As you enter your meditative state, focus on blackness, and then out of this darkness see yourself somewhere by a river.
Suddenly an intense bonfire springs up. It brings warmth and, become part of this bonfire - reflect on what it is - your progression on this path, understand ofcourse that this is not a path of glory to be taken - of it is, let it wane now. There is bounty - feel that bounty vitalise you and bring a sense of continued growth to come. Let those things which hinder wane into the ashes of the bonfire and use the sacred water of the river to suddenly blot the fire out. See those unwanted things running down the stream, visualising the intent that someone needs them, and they're going where they're wanted. Come to normal consciousness, record your feelings and impressions.
------
I hope it isn't too confusing, it was ofcourse written by me - for me, and so may only make proper sense to me. Hope it helps some of you in some way!
Blessed Be.
