Winter Solstice, How to celebrate
The Winter Solstice begins December 22nd, 5:30am (GMT), 12:30am EST and ends Dec. 25thmidnight. Everything that happens in your spirit, good and bad, is directly determined by your spirit. If you do not care for the way your life is going, it is because there are instructions that you have given to your spirit to manifest what is going on in your life, or you have accepted ideas from people around you and in the world that are mobilizing the forces of your spirit in the wrong direction.
Once the spirit has accepted a mandate, it will work at manifesting it regardless of the consequences to you—hence the host of inner conflicts, and negative events that people go through seemingly unable to resist, stop or to modify. There is a time of the year, however, when the spirit is 100% receptive to the will, and for a change in direction. This is the Winter Solstice. It is the time of year to initiate the most important life changing event in man’s life.
