i like rituals….simple self created intentions and ceremonies that initiate something, an event a project, a day, or end and bring to closure a day or some segment of our life.
i find they bring ones intention and attention to the moment in hand and a simple thought of gratitude and attitude to that moment makes it special and sets the tone and mood for what is to follow.
waking up in the morning and gently drawing ones attention to the fact of opening ones eyes and drawing ones awareness to the day and tasks that lie ahead with gratitude – make for setting the tone and mood.
rituals don’t have to be elaborate or grand, they can be just a ‘thank you’ a little nod and acknowledgement to the food one’s about to eat and the task one has finished.
when i pick up brush and paint before an empty canvas it’s very natural for me to evoke a heartfelt ritual to let inspiration and cosmic creativity be my guide to express myself as an artist…..
i find these little rituals to release and bring forth, prepare one to create a framework for what one is about to undertake. very often we have habits and quirks which are actually rituals…the same if done with spiritual consciousness become our own personal acts of ceremony and elevate the vibration and frequency of whatever action is on hand to become special and sacred.
it’s like honoring oneself and the moment from our higher self.
every morning, before stepping into a shower i bless the water – that will clean the body and the energy field around me – it’s a feeling that honors my oneness with the earth and its many bounties.
simple daily rituals connect us to our higher self and set the tone for living every day with an attitude of gratitude, joy and appreciation.
i love my little rituals.
i wish you a happy day.
