Super Manifest Your Vision Using 12-Step Calendar by Madeleine Marentette

Order online and begin today

 

The first full moon in December signifies the beginning of the Winter Solstice whereby thousands of people around the world begin a conscious process of inner self-reflection while also focusing on their vision for the upcoming year. This process runs from the full moon before the Solstice (Dec 22nd ) until New Year's Day. 

For the ancient Celtics it marked the rebirth of the sun, symbolically moving away from dark and into the light. The Winter Solstice was one of the most important celebrations, a practice going back thousands of years, not only with the Celtics but the Nordics, the Mayans, the Egyptians and many other ancient cultures.  The reverence for solar power took root in organized agriculture, significant to community survival, as well as spiritual rebirth.

Solar Astrology is the science of relationships between all living things within the universe. Using this system has proven to be a powerful process in manifesting my own dreams and recognizing my personal responsibility and relationship to the planet. We are significantly influenced by that which is present around us; weather, other people, world events, solar and planetary influences. How aware we are of these influences gives us a better understanding on how to transform these influences into positive experiences in our life.

From December 22^nd to March 21^st, is when the mind is most potent and fertile for creative thinking. There are more opportune times to use mental energy and more opportune times to use physically energy etc. Once you start to connect with the ebb and flow of the four seasons you start to intuit which cycle you are in.

From the full moon in December right through to New Year’s Eve, spend time reflecting on what goals you wish to see actualized for the upcoming year.  I have twelve ‘baskets’, areas of life that I am specifically setting goals for this coming year.

A helpful tip...When considering your aspirations for the New Year, make sure you include aspirations for all of you... career, body, mind AND soul. Don't forget your spiritual needs…and playtime which is often not considered. If you are spiritually content and connected, health, career, relationships, etc, will get the boost they need and everything will start working in alignment.

After successfully applying this process steadily for over seven years, I have designed and published my first Manifesting Calendar based on the Science of Solar Astrology. It's beautiful, practical and inspiring.

To Order: Call Grail Springs at 877-553-5772 or purchase online.

Makes for a very special Christmas Gift. Get ready to see your dreams and visions come true!!!
