In this article we discuss the value of ritual within our daily routines for the empowerment of the soul.
Why Is Ritual Important?
The power of ritual is valuable in creating a sustainable emotional well from which we can purify our sorrowed troubles and once again be made anew. The devotional act of committing to our daily practice fortifies the mind so that every day our connection to a higher power becomes strengthened.
What Is Ritual?
Ritual looks different to every single person. Ritual can be the pure presence of the first few still breaths as we are reborn into the day. Ritual can be a daily prayer of gratitude or of forgiveness for the self and for others. Ritual, of course, can also be a full on intention spell with candles and herbs and even a line or two of a magical hymn.
The New Oxford American Dictionary Definition:
rit·u·al | ˈriCH(o͞o)əl
the prescribed order of performing a ceremony
a series of actions or type of behavior regularly and invariably followed by someone
How To Develop a Daily Routine Schedule
1) Stillness Is The Key
Cultivating stillness is how we create that intentional space for the ritual of our daily routine schedule. Stillness can look like taking a few moments to breathe consciously as we are reborn into the day or feeling the temperature of the air or listening to the sounds around you. A meditative mind is how we achieve stillness to invite more ease which is ultimately our natural state of being.
2) Attitude of Gratitude
Giving thanks for moments we get to be fully within our physical forms, both within and without the totality of an experience, creates more of that experience. If the state of our physical bodies becomes compromised we may still yet find peace within the mind. Deepening into an attitude of gratitude creates more positivity throughout our daily lives which further enlivens our spiritual practice.
Pro Tip: Set a timer for 3- 5 minutes each day listing everything you are grateful for!
3) Movement
A walking mindfulness meditation, a song and dance or even typical forms of physical exercise are all powerful ways to connect to the spiritual essence of our beings. A higher power, or life force energy, moves throughout each and every one of us and we were given these bodies so that we could feel the full expression of them!
A great way to get out of the rationality of the thinking mind, which so often keeps us in unwanted cycles, is by using the tool of movement. If you find traditional forms of meditation too difficult then developing a moving meditation could be just as beneficial.
4) Self-Care
The term self-care has become quite a buzzword in recent years but seldom do people recognize the incredible long-term impact it can have on our physiology. When experienced from a loving space, self-care has the capacity to expand our sense of awareness so that we can merge the seemingly separate aspects of the soul together.
