RITUAL OR HABITUAL?
In our True Nature, when fear fades away, our parasympathetic nervous system sets in- calming everything down, enabling us to go about living our best lives in unison with all of creation. But somehow, we have become collectively suspended in trepidation, and the tranquility never arrives. Looking for an escape route?
Free Heart,
Don’t let the ego trick you, the tools you use to numb out are not Ritual — they are Habitual. When our senses are numb, we are easier to control. Ego will always find a way to excuse numbing habits such as the over use of alcohol, cannabis and screen time. Tune outs and distractions won’t activate our peaceful parasympathetic nervous system. Numbing patterns cause more stress holistically. Our liver gets angry, we let vague worries and fears run on and block us up, and we feel triggered by everything…why take these risks?
Do you ever feel curious about what your potential could be if you stopped numbing out? Maybe great shifts would occur. Maybe you would cry, scream, heal. Maybe you would recall how to truly have fun and let loose? Maybe you could stop pretending that what you think, say and do doesn’t matter.
I wonder what our collective potential could be if we all stopped numbing out? Maybe we could work together to ascend. Maybe we could connect and embrace each other.
I say we relinquish the Habitual escaping and instead, call in parasympathetic nervous system inducing Rituals. Not habits, not patterns, real Rituals.
A real Ritual will leave you feeling very present, and the practice of presence alone will calm your senses. When you are present, you are aware and when you are aware, you are protected.
ritual for metamorphosis
In times of transition, this Ritual may help you connect to the passage of the earth enlightened by the moon to activate your own sense of metamorphosis.
Let the light of the moon call you outside to bask in her presence
Bring an offering with you of some kind: a sprinkle of lavender, some water you have blessed, or a song.
Share your offering with the Moon, the Earth, and all of creation in gratitude for you getting to be a part of it all.
Gratitude is the most important part of your offering.
When you have completed your offering notice how you feel. Can you feel your parasympathetic nervous system sending waves of peace through your total being? Welcome to your True Nature.
