"conjuring the memory of our true selves into being."
The Power of Ritual
RITUAL creates demarcations in the cycles of your life so you can understand their deeper purpose. RITUAL brings presence to the parts of life we take for granted, turning the mundane into magic. RITUAL is something you already do all the time, even if you don't know it... It's about
"Living life by Design, rather than Default"
DESIGN = awake, ritual, deliberate, conscious, responsibility, power. White Magic.
DEFAULT= asleep, coincidence, unconscious, accident, blame, victim. Black Magic.
it’s your ritual, your meaning, your mythology, your life
I'm not going to teach you any rituals, because you already do them. I’m going to remind you how to pray.
Because...
You may not be aware of it, but you are a spell caster. Yep, you're a magician. You.
Every thought, breath, word, bite and sip you take is a thread in the magical tapestry of your life. Every smile, laugh, scowl and glare has power in it, emanating from your center, rippling into the fabric of time and space.
You know what it feels like to stick your foot in your mouth. You’ve said something to another without “thinking” and then watched the spell unfold. They feel hurt. You feel sorry. You (are hopefully paying attention) replay the event in your mind, seeing that you weren’t thinking clearly or being truly present with what was happening. You weren’t attentive to the power of your thoughts becoming words… You were on auto-pilot, and your shadow was at the helm. This is unconscious spell casting. This is black magic.
I NEED YOU TO WAKE UP
What makes life different when you are “awake” is that your awareness of your magic becomes strong and your tolerance for unconscious spell casting becomes smaller and smaller. It’s not about being perfect or flawless. It’s about paying attention. It’s about sharpening the only tool you have- the only thing we can prove actually exists- our consciousness.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS SEXY ~FILL YOUR DAILY RITUALS WITH REAL MAGIC~
1. The water you bathe in, wash your clothes and dishes in, feed your garden with… is listening, recording and delivering messages 24/7 and has immense power. You are made of water. If the only thing you say to it is THANK YOU, every day- that would be enough to drastically change your life.
(PS: learn how to use less water)
2. You drink coffee, tea, water, milkshakes, green smoothies, beer, wine and tequila and they all have one thing in common: they are living beings recording/delivering messages (spells) all the time. What messages? The ones you put in them. Become aware of the spells you’re drinking and become a powerful master of your life.
3. Pay attention to your “default” face. The face you’re making when you’re driving, washing dishes, reading your email, walking to the store, this face is usually in effect when you’re alone, because you’re not thinking about the fact that someone is looking at you. This face usually has a slight frown to it, a furrowed brow (not always, but a lot) — it’s so serious! Smile when you catch yourself being so serious. Put on music and sing to it to improve the mobility of your facial expressions. If you don’t play with it, it gets old! It gets stuck in a position, and so does your chi. MOVE ENERGY WITH INTENTION. What's your ritual? Special places you visit, far away and in your back yard... What ritual do you do and not even realize it's a ritual? Where are you excited to bring more presence to your life?
