The Power of Intention: Winter Solstice Ritual

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” - Howard Zinn

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

In my previous blogpost I discussed the power of the Winter Solstice and the ways we can use the darkness to help us set intention. Similar to the New Moon phase, also called the Dark Moon, at this time of darkness the natural atmosphere and cosmos is the most receptive. Darkness is metaphorical for receptive. It is the dark soil that is receptive of the seed. It is the womb of a woman tucked away inside her body, invisible to the eye, that is receptive to the seed of a man. Darkness gives way to creation. Whether we like it or not, it is all apart of the dance of life.

Both light and shadow

are the dance of Love.
Love has no cause;
it is the astrolabe of God's secrets...
Lover and Loving are inseparable
and timeless.

-Rumi

Earlier today on facebook, an old friend, Cav, posted the idea of collectively doing a ritual or intention together. Here is the lovechild of our minds and intentions...our collective ritual. For 21 days, each day at 10:07am and/or 10:07pm, you create the time to set intention/re-affirm your Oneness with Spirit/pray/meditate/give thanks/your choice of whatever feels right. What we are doing is collectively building a foundation. When we build foundation together, it is a stronger foundation. The stronger the foundation, the less likely it is to be destructed. This is collective intention and power. We are unifying and creating Oneness.

We choose 21 days, because according to many traditions, it takes 21 days to MAKE or BREAK a habit. So as we engrain this habit over the next 21 days, this connecting to Spirit becomes more habitual and patterned into our nervous system. We choose the number 10:07, because numerologically it breaks down to a number 8. 8 is the number connected to Saturn, and the Winter Solstice, as well as the New Moon in Capricorn on 12/24 is ruled by Saturn. This is Saturn's time of year. So we connect with the energy that is present already. As above, so below.

Saturn is our teacher planet. It is the planet revealing much of our Karma. The cycle of Karma will continue until you DO something different. The first way to do something different is to do something different. So as we set this intention and create this space of loving kindness/one-ness/peace/ LOVE, we are re-setting our subconscious and karma.
