Although the start of the school year is often a source of stress and depression, it is also the ideal time for renewal and forming new habits.
What if we told you that you just need to put in place a few rituals so that the peace, serenity and well-being of summer continue...
Always with the idea of lightening your mental load and improving your daily well-being, we offer you our easy-to-perform rituals that will allow you to keep the stress of back to school at bay!
WHY ARE RITUALS SOURCES OF HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING?
The ritual is a daily (preferably), weekly or monthly habit that we dedicate and offer to ourselves!
If we regularly practice well-being rituals, they will become automatic which will have a very positive impact on our daily well-being.
There are multitudes of rituals to adopt but in order not to cause the opposite effect (too many rituals kills the ritual), choose those that suit you and are easy to carry out for you and introduce them into your daily life gradually.
WHAT ARE THE RITUALS TO ADOPT FOR A SERENE BACK TO SCHOOL?
- Rebalance your energies using stones
Lithotherapy is an alternative medicine , which uses the energy of stones and crystals to harmonize the body!
Stones have many virtues and there are many more or less simple approaches to lithotherapy.
At Hosane, we like simple things, for lithotherapy as for the rest we approach it and integrate it into our daily lives in a very simplistic way.
Each stone has its own property, so depending on your needs of the day, you just need to take the stone(s) that will accompany you and keep them in your pocket or close to you to feel the energies and benefits!
To reinforce its action, you can also keep your stone(s) in your hand during a meditation session or during your breathing exercises.
At night you can slip them under the pillow.
Don't forget to take care of your stones so that their energy remains intact by purifying them with clear water and recharging them on the evening of the full moon.
- A self-massage to relieve small everyday aches and pains
Self-massage is a valuable tool for staying fully connected with your body and relieving minor everyday ailments (such as stress, PMS or even digestive disorders, etc.). ….
The self-massage that we prefer is that of the face. We discovered this practice a little over 2 years ago now with the videos of the bubbly @facesoulyoga (ex@herecomedelsol).
This practice allows us to relax and in addition to making us look good, it can be practiced at any time. It's up to you to choose the time that suits you best: morning, evening or why not during the day if you can take a break and adapt the time according to your availability at the moment. 3 minutes are enough to start!
- A different map every day to guide you
Tarot is a tool that allows you to work on and develop your intuition . Thus, using the tarot in your daily life allows you to listen, to connect to your intuition and your inner wisdom.
When you wake up, settle in and ask yourself: “What is important to me today?” before drawing a card, then try to connect with it and the meaning it evokes in you, then live the rest of your day normally.
Keep the message of the card you drew in mind, it can serve as advice, warning...
At the end of the day, reflect on how you experienced the message of the card. You will be able to think about how the card helped and inspired you during your day.
Daily card reading can help you progress in your life.
If this card drawing becomes daily, your intuition will develop and when you know in advance the card you are going to draw, it is because you are connected to your intuition. You will then be able to use your intuition in a conscious and directed way, which can save you time and energy on a daily basis!
At Hosane we learned about drawing the card of the day with the Femininity oracle but we would also be tempted by the pretty oracle of the mantras of lili barbery-coulon or the tarot deck The cosmic Woman illustrated by hand by Lisa Junius.
- Belly breathing, to relax as a family at the end of the day
Breathing techniques are very effective for relaxing, especially when stress has been internalized and causes discomfort or even worse pain in the body!
Breathing work has a positive impact on the nervous system, which is very logical because the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic system, responsible for relaxation and digestion, can be activated by worked breathing.
A few repetitions are enough to feel the effects!
- Close your eyes, place one hand on your stomach and another on your chest
- Inhale for 4 seconds while inflating your stomach and keeping your chest still
- Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds to clear the air.
Repeat the exercise between 5 and 10 times.
You can adopt this ritual with your children at the end of the day to prepare for bed!
If you have the time or the desire you can complete the breathing exercises of a savasana and let yourself be guided by the episode of the healthyliving podcast, it is episode 13 “Body Scan by Charlotte Muller ”, the goddess of fertility yoga in France ( https://fertilityyoga.tv/ ).
