Rituals have been around since the earliest recordings of mankind. They are often described as a sequence of repeatable acts called “rites”. If we can make the rite a purposeful ceremony, then we have the opportunity to use these rituals in a mindful way within our own lives.
The differences between rituals and habits are subtle. Habits occur without much thought such as brushing your teeth. They can add stabilization to your life.
Rituals also offer this sense of “groundedness”. The difference between a habit and a ritual is that the ritual requires us to become aware of specific moments in our lives. Maybe it’s the way we celebrate the holidays, marriages, funerals, or religious events within our family unit.
For thousands of years cultures around the world have created and preserved rituals. Victoria shares her thoughts today about how a ritual can assist people with their own personal journey throughout their lifetime.
Our habits, while capable of being orchestrated without much thought, serve us greatly as a source of stabilization in an often-unpredictable world.
Like habits, rituals offer a sense of “groundedness” and familiarity. Rituals, unlike habits, require us to become aware and attuned to specific moments in time, whether it be preparing the physical body for the day ahead or welcoming the dawn of a new season. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have preserved and continue to create such rituals.
