Heartfelt Rituals

"Ritual and ceremony are powerful bonding tools.  

They result in a sense of community, a feeling

of unity far beyond what you might expect."

Del Suggs

The word ritual creates a sacred reverence; however, the word itself has broad references.  Such as:  ceremonial, formality, habit, observance, practice, procedure, protocol; therefore, the word ritual is not singularly religious.  Our lives are filled with daily rituals such as brushing our teeth or having coffee.

In search for more reverence in our lives, we can create rituals for daily use.  Upon waking, a favorite prayer or mantra may be offered.  As our feet touch the floor, we might give thanks for the blessings  in our lives.  We might light a tea light as we dress to remind us of giving kindness to others though out our busy day.

There is no need to save all of our sacred moments for the religious space of our temple or church.  We can add our sense of Divine to any given moment.  Self created rituals can string a sense of sacred throughout our week.  Our connection and our communication will be strengthened as we create heart felt rituals in our heart to be utilized in private time or shared with friends.
