Creating Sacred Ceremony

[View Online]( INSPIRATION [Creating Sacred Ceremony]( Loving connection is a boundless space that defies any distance. Life’s journeys may sometimes take us away from our families and friends, but there are many ways to stay connected. Aside from making use of the technology available, we can create simple ceremonies using nature to connect our hearts across the miles. The first step in creating your ceremony is to look to nature for similarities in the different surroundings. The second step is agreeing upon something that is meaningful to all involved. If your mother loves birds, then perhaps each time you hear a bird chirp, you can think of her and mentally send love. You may choose the sight of a butterfly, the feel of a breeze or raindrops, or the scent of flowers to remind you of a special someone. The pink glow of sunset might be your favorite time to send a thought, or perhaps the warming oranges of sunrise. The monthly full moon may be your time to connect with your loved ones, or the first star you see each night, knowing that they, too, are gazing into the night sky and sending love. You could choose a day that you would usually celebrate together, such as a holiday or a solstice. If you once shared Sunday brunches in the garden, you can each seek out a garden on Sundays. Or you can choose a specific time and account for the time difference in order to connect by heart and mind at exactly the same moment. With practice, we may learn to recognize the feeling that comes when a loved one sends energy our way and the feeling of soul-to-soul communication. In this case, distance may indeed make our connections stronger. There is so much that can make us think of our close friends and loved ones, but when we decide upon a reminder together, we create a simple ceremony of connection that defies any distance.   DailyOM Course Spotlight [Creating Sacred Space for Your Relationship]( If you are feeling disconnected from your self and your partner, exhausted from everyday demands, and lack a sense of meaning and purpose in life, you can be sure you have not yet created your Sacred Space. Be assured, you are not alone in this. Our current culture encourages us to focus on the future, on productivity, on keeping-up, and on always making good use of our time. While these values are certainly worthwhile, when they override our primal need for peace, presence, and connection, we risk emotional, physical and spiritual imbalance, and possibly even illness. When we begin to give ourselves permission to slow down, connect with our feelings, tap into our authentic self, and be vulnerable enough to ask for what we need, and to seek it with passion, we open the door to manifesting the life we desire.
