A Powerful Ritual to Connect Your Young Adult With Their Purpose

First of all, what exactly is a Power Ritual?! A ritual is a way of doing something that becomes a habit, but not just something surface level, a ritual has deep meaning attached to it, and is something that you integrate on a soul level into your daily and weekly routine. The Power Rituals that we introduce to our clients are ones that Chris and I practice in our own weekly and daily routines. The very first Power Ritual we teach in any of our coaching programs is Creating An Intentional Sacred Space, because it is the foundation for all personal growth and spiritual work. 

The key word here is intentional, whether it's in the morning, afternoon, or at night, you very intentionally set aside one hour (or more) of time to your Sacred Space. During this time there should be no distractions in the form of screens, phones, other people, etc. This time is a sacred time and space for you, to get into a flow state with a clear and undistracted mind and heart. Creating an environment to help get you into this state is extremely helpful, and that be done with music, candles, incense, inspiring wall art or artifacts, or anything that is meaningful to you and connects you to your inner world. Setting up your space and learning what works best for you should be a fun process!  In terms of where this space is, it can be anywhere that you have uninterrupted time alone, as long as it's a space where you can create the environment you need and won't be distracted. If you're unsure what time of day will work best for you, just experiment and check in with yourself to see when you have the best energy. I personally love to start my day early in the morning in my Sacred Space, where I meditate and journal, however over time I've learned to return to this space throughout my day whenever I need to reconnect and get grounded again. Most of my home is filled with things that are meaningful to me and connect me to my inner world, so as long as I have my headphones for music I'm good to go. In the beginning however I do suggest creating a specific space in your home, until this ritual is really grounded into your daily routine. 
 
So you might be wondering, what should I be doing during this time?! Great question:) If you're someone who truly doesn't usually spend time to yourself, especially without a phone or computer or other forms of distraction, this will feel really uncomfortable at first, and you'll likely experience some resistance. Just know that this is completely normal, it's just your brain freaking out a bit over something new and unknown, and after a few times in your Sacred Space, the resistance will lessen and you'll settle in. This is a perfect time to start a journal if you don't already journal, start a new book, experiment with short guided meditations, practice some yoga, or anything else that brings you peace, joy, and calm. Many experiences and lessons will unfold over time by integrating this Power Ritual into your daily life, but the main points are that you learn to be more intentional about your growth, and that you give yourself the gift of deeply connecting with yourself, become curious, and learn how you best align with your authenticity and purpose.
 

With Love,
