How do you define a ritual?
Anything can be a ritual, for me, it is about intention & feelings.
How do you create a ritual?
Bring a desire into the physical. Slow down and be quiet enough to connect with the feeling of your desire and the right action will follow. I’m currently working on my desire to feel embodied. One of the rituals I have created to bring this into the physical, is kundalini yoga. A super powerful practice when Ritualised. I've cultivated a depth, sensuality and resilience that I didn't know resided within me. This is the magic of Rituals - unearthing the gold within us. It's an easier choice to meet the busyness of life and go from thing to thing. It takes courage to slow down and show up every single day.
What is the power within a ritual?
The power lies within the dedication to the ritual. The beauty lies in how you create your Ritual.
How do rituals impact your daily life?
I owe the beauty in my life to rituals. The colourful tapestry in which Rituals weave throughout my day bring joy to the mundane. A candle on the countertop in the kitchen whilst making dinner. The smell of incense wafting through the air as I meditate. All forms of magic, in my eyes.
Do your rituals change, according to seasons etc?
They do a little, the foundational ones stay mostly the same. I interchange aspects of them to adapt to my cycle and seasons.
What specific elements are necessary to build a ritual for you?
Clarity, intention, growth and a clear space. Rituals come alive when steeped with physical beauty: candles, music, delicious tea.
Could you share a ritual you use in your partnership?
Clearing the glass mediation by Kim Anami. Every single time, something comes up for one of you, it always amazes me. The meditation is to clear up issues that inhibit closeness between you and your partner. It's you, your partner and the glass is representative of your relationship. Through living together, things said to one another cloud the metaphorical glass. Clearing the glass frees up the space for sensuality, support and understanding. It's a game-changer!
What are you calling in with rituals these days?
Sensuality. Magnetism. Strength. Growth. Slowing down my mind.
What are you releasing?
Stagnancy, lack and distractions.
Could you share a ritual with us to try?
One of my favourite evening Rituals, make a hot brew and take an inventory of my day. Did I like or dislike how I responded to something, and the accompanying emotion. If required the next step is the clean up, do I need to send a text or make a phone call to amend something I've said/and or done.
