WINTER SOLSTICE ACTIVITIES
Do a solstice ritual
You can mark the solstice in line with the local rituals where you live, or you could take motivation from Pagan tradition where on the eve of the solstice, you practice meditation in darkness and after that welcome the birth of the sun by singing chants and Pagan carols. You’ll need plenty of candles, and a fireplace or outside fire circle to burn a Yule log.

Fly to Stonehenge
Modern druids collect at Stonehenge in England to mark the festival each year. If you stand in simply the best place inside the Stonehenge monolith on the day, dealing with east through the entryway towards a stone outside the circle called the Heel Stone, you’ll see the sun rise above the heel stone. That’s pretty advanced and accurate building and construction for a monument constructed at least 3,000 years earlier, and a lot of who have actually seen it agree that it’s an unbelievable experience.

Make a resolution
New Year’s Eve might be the conventional day for resolutions, however what much better day than the Winter Solstice to write yourself a number of notes. On one note, make a note of an aspect of the year past that you want to let go of, and on the 2nd note, write down a goal or desire that you wish to satisfy in the year to come.

WHY WE LOVE WINTER SOLSTICE
It has lots of symbolism
Whether or not you take place to be conscious long hours of darkness, it’s difficult not to interpret this day as an optimistic turning towards brighter moments. Throughout the world, different holidays have actually been celebrated on this day in various spiritual and religious traditions, but they all have an aspect of rebirth and renewal included.

It’s a suggestion of how little we are
The word “solstice” originates from the Latin word “solsitium,” which suggests, “the Sun sands still.” That’s because on this day, the sun reaches its Southern-most position as seen from the Earth, and seems to stall at the Tropic of Capricorn before it changes instructions. It’s hard to concentrate on your own small problems and issues if you’re considering these substantial planets and their movement through deep space, do not you think? And that’s why we like it. For the sense of perspective.

It’s going to be much easier to rise from now on
Seasonal affective disorder impacts around 20% of Americans, when the decreased light, heat and color of winter leave a person feeling down, irritable, and exhausted. It can make it difficult to work during the winter months, impacting relationships and even just the capability to get out of bed and get on with your day. For those who discover winter a slog, the understanding that the planet keeps turning and things will get much easier from now on can be a blessed relief.
