How to Energize Your Life with a Daily Spiritual Ritual (that you love!)

ignite your awakening by creating an uplifting ritual for your spirit

The key to building a successful daily practice is to create a ritual that you enjoy. Curate your daily practice based on what you need at this moment in your life (healing, strength, transformation, etc.)…and also what engages your personal energy.

do what feels good

Your body talks to you intuitively through what resonates in your higher senses. Does this stretch feel good? Yes? Then, do it. No? Then skip it. You don’t have to do anything that anyone else does ~ only what feels right for you.

“We not only nurture our sacred relationships through ritual, but we are nurtured by them as well. In ritual, we move, and we are moved.” ~alison leigh lilly

be uplifted

Whatever you do, remember to craft your practice into sessions that not only align you with higher vibrations, but that, ultimately, leave you feeling better at the end than you did before you started.

Your ritual will most likely change with time. For some months or years, you may gravitate to certain things that elevate or activate a part of you; then there may come a time when you are working on new things, and feel the impulse to change things up. This is great!

RITUAL ELEMENTS: The best time of day for your ritual is in the morning when the energy of the day is rising, but you can do it any time that works with your schedule. Anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours, 5 days a week, is great, depending on where you are at in your spiritual practice.

YOUR PRACTICE SPACE: If you can, try to designate a ‘sacred space’ to practice (ie. a special room or part of a room, ideally with light, good vibes, etc.) Decorating a room with beautiful spiritual decor is a nice touch and helps you to enjoy being in the space and doing inner work.
