“Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.”
Morning rituals: POV- I recently went to a local workshop and the topic of morning rituals was highlighted and I recognized how grateful I am to have consistent commitment to mine for so many years and that…… that is something some of us women are still learning. And how sharing a few of mine would be helpful!
Now mind you it does require waking early to have “Slow Luxurious Mornings.” And the act of curating yours is self romance!
Every morning begins with a moment of gratitude as I take in my first deep conscious breath, say thank you to God for my life force, acknowledging the gift of life and the vibrant energy that flows through me. I take care of our dogs food and potty needs… as I walk outside and spend the next seven minutes connecting with Mother Earth, feeling the grass beneath my bare feet and the warmth of the sun on my skin, (and process days where the sun hides itself and allow for all weather to teach me.) This ritual of grounding with the sacred elements is ancestral connection, and deeply helps center my spirit, move energy, attune to the mystery, and set the tone for the day ahead.
As I sip on my coffee, I intentionally invite gratitude statements to fill my thoughts, a deep reminder of the abundance in my life. I then engage in free associative writing, allowing my pen to flow freely across the page, releasing emotions and thoughts that may have lingered overnight. This therapeutic practice clears my mind and opens up space for new ideas. Afterward, I embrace intentional movement—whether it’s a leisurely walk with Luna, indulging in yoga and preparing for a class, or dancing to whatever music shows up in my shuffle of my liked songs ( I believe that’s a way God speaks to me through lyrics )—each choice fuels my body, heart, soul and spirit, preparing me to embrace the day with remembrance and purpose for why I am here, and allows me to serve humanity the way I do! May this little blurb be an invitation for self romance, and ritual for your life. Especially on the days when you would rather stay asleep. The time is NOW, Awake!
