Honouring significant changes or challenges in your life through rituals allow you time to pause and reflect on the exact moment you are in.

Rituals are habits that add a deeper meaning to your world.

For as long as I can remember, I have embraced rituals in my everyday life. They have given me solace in challenging times, helped me to slow down, guided me, led me to be more present, and provided an anchor for reflection and contemplation in the business of my life. 

Rituals take up little time or space; you don’t need to be creative to experience them. Traditions bring about magic, and they are the source of where hopes and dreams are birthed from. They awaken the seeker in you, turn on your inner guide, and manifest powerful changes in your life through intention.

Here are a few tips to bring more rituals to your life.

Pay attention to signs and synchronicity.

In every moment of each day, the universe is whispering to you. Most of the time, you don’t notice. From the morning songs of the birds, tide changes in the sea, dreams, strong intuition or knowing, coincidences, accidents, illness or sudden changes, and significant connections with extraordinary people, life carries so many communications from the spirit world. Signs give you powerful messages and insight into the direction of your life. They reflect what occurs in your unconscious mind and beneath your conscious awareness. When you are still, answers will come. Observe your pet’s health and behaviour, and you will discover how they reflect your state of being. 

Purify your living space with sage.

The earthy smell of sage has been used since ancient Egyptians and Romans to treat digestive and memory problems. Native Americans and Indigenous Australians have burned sage as part of their spiritual rituals to assist in healing and wisdom. 

In our modern-day life, sage is an essential herb to help cleanse your home and spaces which feel heavy and draining. Burn it when you feel like you have taken on someone else’s energy or when you have moved into a new house. 

Visit your inner child to resolve old recurring issues  

Remember to talk to her often when feeling flat, sad, angry, lost, or confused. It’s a sign your little one needs direction from your wise, comforting adult self. It doesn’t take much to soothe, and it’s incredible how quickly you start feeling better when you pay attention to your inner child. 

Journal to clear your mind and attract the right partner.

Writing down your thoughts and feelings gives you much clarity on problems and difficult periods of your life. It is also a beautiful way to express gratitude for your life and articulate a clear vision for your goals and intentions. When you want to bring a new partner into your life, write down everything you want in an ideal companion. But remember, you, too, need to be ALL of those points on your list.                                                                                                                                                                                        

Spend time gardening to feel grounded and let go.

When your hands connect to the soil, problems, and stresses often dissolve in the earth. Growing and planting are beautiful ways to release tension and put your focus on something rewarding and creative. 

Dance in the morning to celebrate and move heavy energy

Move your body as you rise from your slumber. Emotional healing requires you to tune into your body. Often unresolved emotions become stuck, so feeling them, shifting them, and letting them go creates profound change in your life. You begin to feel lighter, look softer, and will attract new opportunities into your world.  

Spend time in nature to get a different perspective.

Being outside in the wild makes you realise how minor your perceived problems are. It’s cleansing for your mind, body, and soul. Staying all day indoors all day doesn’t clear out the cobwebs. Swim in the cold ocean, walk in the rain, go hiking, watch the sun set and rise, set intentions with the new moon, and let go of unwanted behaviours, thoughts, and feelings with the full moon. Write them down and burn them in a ritual fire. 

Practice tantra with your partner to create a deeper bond

Creating deeply intimate moments with your beloved takes time and an unguarded heart. It is the foundation for a rewarding and conscious relationship. Having a sacred space with candles and incense and exploring one another’s body transmutes you to another realm. Surrendering fully to each other means letting go of fear and expectations. 

Whether you are moving towns, starting a new relationship, marking the end of one, navigating a significant transition in your life, or grieving the loss of someone close, rituals give meaning to considerable change and challenges. They create a foundation for you to explore yourself and the surrounding world with more clarity and awareness. 

Your best life awaits with rituals.
