I believe we crave ceremony, crave rituals.
I’ve been thinking a lot about rituals lately…more than usual. As I finished writing “You Are The Temple: The Beauty of Rituals” all 100+ gorgeous pages of it, I appreciated more than ever the nature of rituals. How they can change the nature of things the way it all feels in an instant.
A ritual or a tiny ceremony changes the air around you. Everything is elevated to a new altitude. The air is clearer. We are relieved from the forces trying to blur our vision.
I never knew that I craved ceremony or was missing rituals… it’s not something that I would have been able to name. But I still weep every time I am anywhere near any kind of sacred ceremony- I think we are wired to crave it.
Rituals are something our souls crave. We long to connect with that part of our being that lives in truth and beauty and honor and kindness among other things.
The kinds of rituals I most love to create, to practice, and to share are small and personal. These kinds of rituals remind us that we are so much more than flesh and bone. They let us remember that we carry a spark of the divine~that we live in the realm of magic and miracles.
Don’t you want to be reminded of that?! I do. But so often what happens is we become mired in the every day, and forget that the other exists… That’s what having beautiful moments of ritual can do for you.
Right now I am in love with fire…the rituals that are lighting me up involve flames. Fire is so powerful and the more I use it as a way to clear energy the more I am inspired to keep using it, and to share my rituals with friends and clients. Even gazing into a candle is powerful…hypnotic and meditative.
This week I am celebrating the re-launch of my website, and I think it is gorgeous. I’m in pinks and golds this time around, the colors I’ve always thought of as essential Divine Feminine.. temple colors for me.
And I am celebrating with two new offerings.. a new signature session called Meet Your Medicine. You’ll see yourself with new eyes and a new plan in 90 minutes. I’m also launching You Are The Temple – filled with rituals and ceremonies so that you can create a sacred and nourishing at home retreat, with lots of choices to weave into daily life also.
I’ll be talking more about rituals and why they matter in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I’d love you to explore what’s here and to join my mailing list (and get 21 days of beautiful rituals as my gift to you).
With love and blessings,
