The girls get into a discussion about using rituals as practice in our daily lives. What IS the big hang up of some about rituals anyway? In todays world, the word “rituals” may conjure up thoughts of religion, a cult, or descriptions like hippie dippy. But rituals are already used in cultures big and small! Check out athletes for example…before a game most report they have to make time for their good luck ritual; performers and artists have their rituals before a show, writing or painting – so when looking at everyday daily life as practice, we can zoom in the lens to uncover how “habits” can be looked at as rituals without consciousness. Add consciousness to the habit, stir gentle… and rituals can bring many things to our personal practice table. Things like discipline, individual expression, and checking “in” with ourselves more then checking “out”. As Timothy Leary once said “Turn on, tune in, drop out”.
