Your creative energy ebbs and flows, right? But it's (likely) not random.

There's a pattern, a rhythm.

And it starts with the body, and her natural creative cycle: menstruation is like WINTER; ovulation is like SUMMER.

The purpose of RITUAL practice is often to signify a change from the everyday experience, he said.

This happens with “coming of age” rituals, holiday traditions, marriage ceremonies, baptisms (all sacred ceremonies you find within different religions and spiritual traditions).

But this also happens with things like bedtime prayers, journaling practice, and morning routines.

Because, put simply: a RITUAL is something you do in patterned intervals to mark an important change.
