Do you ever find yourself going through the motions of your daily habits, switching off to your immediate happenings? Feeling the drain of mundane, monotony? Part of being human. Many a time, I have trudged through the motions. Frustrated, feeling a disconnect to my experience in daily living, wanting more, wondering. Is it not a constant process of waking up! again and again.
A remembering to remember our way back home to ourselves, through connection and attentive actions.
One aspect that has woken up to through ritual was my 'waiting' for a happening. Recognising, I was waiting for 'something', to propel me, jolt me awake. News Flash for me... What ever preoccupies you is going to be. What you are preoccupied with - attracts, magnetises, expands. In Waiting for a 'happening', I'd moved out of the driving seat of my own life. My waiting, was the magnetising root of my 'inaction'. RITUAL RICHNESS Ritual is a root aspect of my daily living. Why ritual? Its a means to TURN IN and TUNE IN. A conscious act of present moment attentiveness. Ritual articulates connection through attentive action. Richness is fed from that sacred connection. Full disclosure, I get lost in time loops. Fogged in the routine But/AND, the difference is, recognition and a means to plug back into presence. Your preoccupation is magnetic. Direction of attentiveness, encodes your experience. So why make sacred of our daily doings? Ritual and ceremony have long been part of humans daily lives. Ritual has provided a means of celebrating, clearing, cleansing, protection and sacred connection - a harmonising with inner and outer nature. Spirit and matter. Lost Connection. HABITs not RITUAL Habits are automatic, often done without conscious thought. The Ritual is intentional action that awakens conscious connection. A means to return again and again to a present aliveness. A sacred act of waking up to the extraordinary nestled within the ordinary. A means to rehabilitate intuitive connection with ourselves and the natural world. Waking up to everyday magic by Ritualising experience; A present moment remembering into wholeness. An ensorcelling bridge between seen and unseen. Re-oxygenating our root connection to self and earth. Sure We can use embodiment practices, such as yoga or meditation, to ground ourselves and connect. We can light candles or use essential oils to awaken our senses and create a sacred space for daily ritual. AND it can be said that No grand gestures are needed. The intentional focus of our action can cultivate a deeper personal and collective connection. Ritual, can transform our daily habits into sacred acts that honour our inner most self, create deeper meaning and purpose, and cultivate a sense of belonging. May you magnetise magic and connection, through your attentive action. May this awaken your wild & sacred.
