Intention is everything.
Whether we are speaking of prayer, meditation, a movement practice, creative pursuits, mealtime, or even sex, bringing simple elements of ceremony to our actions suffuses them with meaning.Think of waking as birth and sleeping as death. Before jumping out of bed in the morning, place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Take a few moments to feel gratitude for the day, perhaps making an intention to come into the Holy Pause as much as possible.
Practice non-attachment to the day. Think of this as an opportunity to see how much you can surrender your day, your willpower, and your life into the ease of sleep. When thoughts arise, simply come back to the ease of the body, saying the words, “Letting go.” This can act as a mental ritual to help you go to sleep with a “digested” mind.
I like to use a warmed organic oil and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Sink into a warm tub of water, close your eyes, and soak. Keep moving through your body parts, waiting for the images to come, until you have filled your whole body with ritual offerings. Consider yourself anointed.It’s common to offer special prayers in threshold moments of transition across many traditions. One small way you can reconnect to this practice is by saying a little protective prayer or pausing for a moment of reflection before you embark on a trip.
