RITUALS | SELF INQUIRY

Rituals bring a meditative state to our day, a sense of ceremony to life. The beauty is in the simplicity, becoming aware of the present moment and that we are always connected.

By introducing rituals into our daily routine, we will see shifts in our consciousness, perspective, patience and more. They keep us feeling grounded and aligned. They may be testing at times because they require us to slow down but, just when we think we’ve surrendered enough, we must surrender more.

Are there times that you are looking for answers but you aren’t even sure where to look? You have so many thoughts, so many questions but you have no clue about who or what to ask? Everyone is saying to sit with yourself, tune in, meditate and you will receive exactly what you need to receive but, you don’t know how to do that?

You are not alone. I think a lot of us get to this place in our lives, and not just once. Speaking from experience, there are some of us who have been taught not to trust our intuition and to seek solace within our self. Self-inquiry is one of the most powerful practices (if not the most powerful) for discovery. Removing the mind, the ego and allowing that inner guidance and consciousness to come through.

It is easier than you may think it is to do, 10 minutes of Self Inquiry each day will help us to rebuild our relationship with our intuition and bring awareness to this loving, trusting and giving part of ourselves.

Find a quiet spot, either sit down with your feet planted on the ground or lay down on your back, whichever is more comfortable for you. Think about what you want to ask yourself, be specific and if you want to write it down so it’s clear, write it down. Have the question in front of you, take a few deep breaths to get that flow of breath and energy going, close your eyes and allow space. Allow space for whatever is there to come up and then when you are ready, ask the question, and again allow space, don’t look for anything, just allow what is to be.
