As we discussed earlier, when we clear out the cobwebs of the past we can engage fully in the present moment. All of our energy resources become more available for enjoyment and for appreciating the meaning of our activities. When we nourish and heal our bodies, it frees our awareness to become more attuned and appreciative of the sweet and subtle messages of life.
When we approach our daily activities with a conscious presence, life becomes a celebration of rituals. In ritual, we begin to transform the mundane into the divine. We become alchemists, shifting our quantum field of energy while giving value and depth to our actions. We can enliven any activity by shifting our perspective and turning it into a powerful ritual. You can derive greater enjoyment from:
The Ritual of Sleeping:
Giving rest to our bodies while our spirits journey within.
The Ritual of Bathing:
Relishing in scented waters and sensuous textures on our skin.
The Ritual of Making Love:
Deeply connecting and exchanging passion between two souls.

Creating and filling the senses with wholesome foods and aromatic herbs.
The Ritual of Reading:
Deepening the inner quest for knowledge and inspiration.
The Ritual of Family:
Celebrating the gift of loved ones and caring for their needs.
The Ritual of Cleaning:
Clearing out clutter, organizing and bringing a fresh scented energy into the home.
The Ritual of Healing:

Walking each day in appreciation for the gift of life and its palate of experiences.

Being resilient, spontaneous and open to life’s surprises.
Let’s focus for a moment on the Ritual of Love & Forgiveness--the supreme transformative ritual that keeps us Ageless.
We can actually reverse our biological age through love because love continually serves the soul. Love is the very essence of life. It awakens the passions within us. The tests of love carry our deepest life lessons while expanding our dimensions of wholeness. Human beings are as dependent on love for quality living as they are on food and water. Without love--without relationships, we cannot survive.
The state of forgiveness is a supreme act of love. Through the power of understanding and communication, we can rise above our hurts and the entrapment of the ego with its need to be right, to hold onto grudges and attachments to the past. Our perceptions, interpretations, and choices are transformed. We are moved by a resilient energy that inspires more of itself.
A youthful spirit is moved by enthusiasm, curiosity, passion and a spirit of generosity. These are all qualities of love. By making love the most important thing in your life, you become younger and live a longer and happier life! Those around you will be transformed by your radiance!
