Best Solo Date Ideas & Rituals #solodatechallenge

When was the last time you dedicated hours primping, preparing, and planning for a special day? I don’t mean getting ready for a date with your beau, or a girl’s night out, or a big meeting at work. When was the last time you got ready and got excited to spend quality time with yourself? Have you ever calculated how much time you dedicate to other people? We spend months preparing for a girls trip. We spend weeks preparing for a work presentation. We spend hours preparing for a date. So much of our time and energy is spent for...

Yemaya & Olokun: Deep Sea Secrets

Maferefun Yemaya & Olokun, the owners of the waters on earth, especially the deep sea. These are both orishas of the Yoruba pantheon. For an amazing write-up on these Orishas, check out ORISA: New World Black Gods by John Mason available in the Ritual&Vibe Library! Check out my Deep Sea Supplements here! While Yemaya is described as the mother of all, and represents the top half of the ocean; Olokun is, instead, the keeper of the deepest parts of the ocean of the ocean.

The Art of Noisemaking: Hacking the Parasympathetic Nervous System

At your best, you are sound.

We share a lot of playlists filled with music here on Ritual+Vibe. One of the reasons why is because music is a healing art. Listening to certain types of music helps improve your connection to your own frequency. Bobby Hemmitt talks a bit about the healing aspect of music in this clip.

But, the music you make can be the most healing & enriching ritual of them all.

The Wild, Wild Woman

What does it mean to be a wild woman?  Lately, I have been reading Women Who Run With the Wolves, hungrily, with keen pacing. I’m savoring, and speeding through, and slowing down, and going back, and skipping forward all up and through this wonderful collection of analyzed myths that remind us of the innate power of the primal self. Written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves explores the intricacies of innate instincts of the wild woman archetype. LISTEN: Wild Woman Playlist    What is a wild woman? I’m only half way through the book, but I already...

Grounding 101 & Hot Cocoa for Grounding Recipe

We are spiritual beings in physical bodies. There must be a balance between the spiritual and the physical. 

The weight of trauma and external stressors can overstimulate our nerves, making the soft edges of our spirit want to disassociate and retreat. That weight hangs overhead like a stormcloud, making it more and more difficult to come back into ourselves. 

Even spiritual work can leave you too “top heavy” - you know that spacey, floaty, anxious, dazed, out-of-body and disconnected feeling? These are all symptoms of being ungrounded. If you notice you:

• Have trouble focusing 
• Clumsy, bumping into things, stubbing toe
• Dizzy, light-headed
• Spaced out, fuzzy, daydreaming 
• Get lost easily 
• Losing track of what you were about to do or say 
• Forgetful, misplacing your keys, etc 

Remind yourself that your body is your home right now. Remind yourself that you belong in this world, on this plane, in that beautiful body you call a home. Remind yourself you are here for a reason. Your existence is not by chance.
