5 Simple Rituals for Crazy Busy Days

Hello Sweethearts! I love ritual. I love sacred space. I love meditation. I love surrounding myself with crystals and incense and candles. A daily spiritual practice is important to me on so many different levels; psychologically, spiritually and mentally. And if I miss out on some sacred me time, I can get. . . shall I say. . . cranky. But sometimes, some days, there is simply no time for it. There is too much going on in the physical world to let yourself adjourn to that lovely little place in your mind. The good news is that ritual doesn't have to be hour long meditations or 30 mins of chanting. Ritual can be something as simple as lighting a candle and taking a minute to simply be. So here are some ideas for quick rituals for a mystic on the go:

1. Say Thank you. It is so simple and yet we forget to do it most of the time. Simply saying thank you is a divine rite in of itself. You can list the things you are thankful for or simply say an overarching "thank you" to the universe. I like to use the sticky notes in my desk at work to write thank you notes. I will stick them to my computer screen for the day and let them fill me with love. 2. Shower cleansing. I don't just mean getting your body squeaky clean. Showers are great for cleansing your mind and spirit too! I like to take a moment and visualize the water shimmering and glowing as it pours over me. I always feel 100 times better afterward. The shower is also a great time for prayers and positive thinking as well as creative brainstorming. There is something about that hot water that shakes all those sticky ideas loose in our heads. 3. Coffee or tea blessings: This one may be my favorite. I do this everyday! When you are putting your coffee into your travel mug and getting ready to hit the road, take a second to bless it asking it to fill you with productivity and creativity. Works for any beverage at any time, but morning coffee is always a good one since we usually need a little extra juice to get us out of the door in the mornings. 4. One crystal in your bra (or pocket): So easy. Pick one of your smaller crystals that vibes with the energy you need that day (rose quartz for self love, onyx for grounding, jade for abundance, etc) and bless it. Carry it with you all day in your pocket or, for those of us who have to dress up for work, in your bra. 5. Tarot card of the day: In my opinion, the best way to start the day is with a tarot card. I always pick mine just before I leave for work as my version of a daily devotional. You can randomly draw one for daily guidance or pick one intentionally that you wish to guide you. For example, you may need extra patience today so you pick Temperance or you may need some creative superpowers so you pick the King of Wands. This is also great for those still learning the meanings of the cards. There are a million more ideas I'm sure, but these are the ones I use. I hope this helps. love bugs. xoxo photo: moon-cult.com
