Introverts (or those of us with introverted tendencies) tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds.

Extroverts, on the other hand, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social.

Rituals is as old as mankind. The value of rituals for us today lies in their inherent ability to facilitate action. When carried forth as part of a collective plan with defined goals, for example, rituals can greatly enhance our chances for success, health, and happiness. When performed on behalf of the collective good, they are strong vehicles for integration and healing. All contemporary rituals can find their origins in traditional shamanic practice.


Rituals and ceremonies can also be used to correct more serious problems such as stresses (negative energies in the land), unwanted legacies in existing buildings (negative predecessor energy), financial misfortune, poor health, bad neighbourhood energy, and even ghosts and hauntings. Space clearings, for example, are important rituals that should be carried out during and after construction, before occupancy in new spaces, and periodically as part of regular maintenance. In all cases rituals can be joyful events and are often accompanied by great beauty and lavish offerings.

Personal rituals are powerful for drawing us quickly and deeply into sacred space. They invite us to use clear intention with our senses, movements, feelings, visualization and focus to create meaning and purpose. Rituals can be held anywhere and at any time.
- Rituals help you to “banish” bad habits.

- Rituals help you to heal.

- Rituals help you to create closure.
- Rituals help you to remain focused and goal orientated.

- Rituals help you to develop self-discipline.

The power of our rituals is directly dependent on the power of our will and intention. In a sense, rituals are like symbolic commitments we make to ourselves to grow, to strengthen, to heal and to surrender.

Apply personal rituals throughout the day. It’s especially easy to build rituals at key points such as on awakening, starting the workday, ending the workday and before sleep at night.
