Winter Solstice Ceremony

The key is to have a clear intention of what seed you want to plant deep within the Energy Body of Mother Earth for the upcoming year. Your request must be for YOURSELF ONLY, or your role within some larger or collective/group process. You cannot ask for someone else - that violates their free will. So ask for whatever it is YOU sincerely NEED (no superficial 'wants'). It can be material and very specific, or energetic or a spiritual quality.

Get clear on your intention BEFORE you practice your qigong ceremony, which is most powerful just before midnight on the night BEFORE the actual Solstice time. It's a big event, so the ceremony will still be powerful the a day before or after, don't sweat it. State your intention either out loud or mentally, send it to the four horizontal directions and to Heaven above and Earth below, and to the heart of Humanity within.

Then perform your qigong ceremony, holding the intention that the Life Force will help you birth that seed intention over the next year. At the end of the movement ceremony, call forth the Golden Dragon of the Center Direction of Earth (its core) and release your intention, ask the Life Force or its agent, the Dragon, to ascend to Heaven with your request.

If you want to make the ceremony even more powerful, prick your finger to get a drop of blood at the end of your qigong ceremony, state your intention, dissolve the blood into a small bowl of water, and then pour the water onto the earth or into the sea or a stream or river, again repeating your intention and releasing it to the large chi field. It's very important that you RELEASE your intention to the larger field.
