Rituals Richness

Conversations with Thomas

In this podcast I’ll share my experience with the energy of ritual - both big R ritual - like that created to acknowledge the passing of someone I love or little r ritual like taking the time to express my gratitude for the gift of waking up in the morning.

I’ll share some of my rituals, offer an overview of what ritual is and then share some of the ways you might consider bringing or renewing a ritual practice in your life. I’m proud to share Rituals Richness with you.

Rituals give us a sense of control. I’m not talking about religious ceremonies, esoteric chanting, or obsessive-compulsive behaviours. Rather, the more practical and down-to-earth kind of ritual that makes us feel in charge.

Think about a job interview, a presentation in front of a large audience, or a first date.

When facing uncertain situations, rituals help us focus, deal with anxiety, or feel more confident. Rituals increase our performance by turning small, everyday acts into more significant ones. They add meaning and joy to our lives.

Rituals help me because they carry emotional significance.
