5 minutes you cannot miss.

Having daily ritual or ceremony in our lives is very important to keep us connected to what really matter

Most of our daily rituals revolve around eating and bathing, both of which have always been sacred acts. With this in mind, we may pause before each meal, close our eyes, and say a silent thank you to the universe that provides. If we want to get more elaborate, we can light candles or bless our food. Similarly, as we wash ourselves in the morning and evening, we can choose to see the grace in this act of cleansing and purification as we release what has past and prepare ourselves for the new.


Vishen in this video, sheds some much needed light on the power of simple daily rituals that will allow you to master whatever goal or dream you set out for yourself.




Performing a daily ritual allows us enter into a state of mind that is different from mundane consciousness.  As a result, they can make us to pay closer attention and tune into the subtle energies that are always present but that often go unnoticed.

Many of us have distanced ourselves from rituals that may have seemed too attached to an organised religion we have chosen not to follow.

However, we can reclaim the practices of ceremony and ritual to good effect,  and we do not have to wait for a big event to do it. We can engage in daily practices that include ritual and ceremony, reminding ourselves throughout the day of our goals and dreams.

In fact, if we look closely, we will see that our days are already made up of rituals, from the time we wake up to the time we retire.
