The Sovereign Self.
When you step up to reclaim your power & move into alignment with your higher being, you are recognising the inherent truth, that you are the ruler of your own life.
So often we find ourselves trapped in bondage of our own design, as we operate from a place of disempowerment. We impose limitations on ourselves or find ourselves restricted by society. We go about our lives routinely, in a daze, carrying fear & despondence in our hearts, every so often hearing our inner whispers beckoning us to break free. You are always free.
Choose to “Know thyself’”
Living out of alignment with our supreme truth shows itself as discord, frustration, anger or sorrow. Knowing yourself is being empowered to use these negative emotions as a compass to intuitively align with your higher self. Contrast serves as a potent tool for understanding your values on a fundamental level & knowing yourself is the touchstone to living fearlessly, authentically & autonomously.
The power of ritual.
From the primal ceremonies of our ancient ancestors to the contemporary practices that shape our everyday life, rituals serve as a thread stitching time together. In modern society, daily routines, honouring the cycles of nature & even personal habit act as rituals, offering a sense of structure & continuity. These repetitive acts contribute to a profound psychological impact, fostering a feeling of control & stability in an otherwise chaotic world.
The power of ritual lies not only in its ability to connect us to our past but also in its potential to enhance well-being, providing comfort, purpose & a shared sense of identity among individuals & societies alike.
A ritual doesn’t have to be an elaborate, solemn ceremony that you only perform on a full moon, it can be as small & simple as bringing gratitude or mindfulness to monotonous daily tasks. The most important thing is that your rituals align with your beliefs & enrich your life in some way. They should endow you with a sense of peace & help connect you to your inner self.
The power of aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy harnesses the profound influence of scents on our emotions & well-being, transcending mere fragrance to evoke therapeutic benefits for healing. Whether smudging a space with incense or sitting in the warm glow of scented candles, aromatics become keys that can unlock hidden chambers of the mind; invoking memories, boosting clarity or creating tranquility.
One thing we love about aromatherapy is how easily it can be integrated into daily practice & bring about mindful, calming moments.
“Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these things alone lead life to sovereign power.”
— Alfred Lord Tennyson
