Morning Rituals

What if you turned everyday moments into a sacred ritual? I believe the divine is present everywhere and in everything. We have the opportunity to make the mundane beautiful at any given moment. They say miracles are everywhere—we just have to pause and to see them.

I’ve been starting my mornings with a hot beverage: sometimes lemon water and salt, sometimes coffee with ghee. I don’t turn on any lights; I simply open the windows and allow the darkness to gently fade into morning. Sitting on my couch—no phone, no artificial light—I give myself permission to just be. There’s no real agenda except to spend a quiet moment with myself, hot drink in hand, often with my pup by my side.

I savor these minutes before the hustle and bustle begins. Then, once I’ve had that grounding moment, I move into the day: I use my red light, walk the dog, incorporate movement, practice mindful breathing, make breakfast, and finally get to work.

Your morning rituals could truly change your life. So, what’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
