All rituals center around transition: changes that may happen, are happening, or have happened. From there, rituals are divided into five different categories:
- Beginnings (Help balance the fearful transition between old and a new way of being)
- Mergings (Help balance and enlarge the relationship between two separate entities)
- Cycles (Help us balance our lives by increased understanding of our relationships with time and with larger forces)
- Endings (Offer a way to deal with the polarities of life and death)
- Healing (Whenever we touch the energies that fuel and direct life, healing can happen)
La Loba Soul Support offers rituals that focus on endings and healings; however, it is important to understand while each category has its own purpose, oftentimes it simultaneously involves elements of some or all of the other categories. Therefore, creating a ritual is not a “one size fits all” process. By being open to differences and possibilities, each ritual is individually designed to help you and your loved ones through life’s transition. They are created to give you a personalized experience of being connected with your center, your purpose, your relatedness to other loved ones, our universe and Spirit. In order to get the full benefit from a ritual, we must give it our entire focus. One of the most important aspects of any ritual is intention. In preparation for a ritual please consider the following:
- What meaning does this hold for me?
- What do I want it to mean?
- What do I wish to honor, celebrate, grieve, or remember through this act?
Bringing a ritual into your life is empowering as it allows you to gain a different perspective onchange, a grasp on relatedness, and a greater sense of balance. All rituals are designed to serve as an alchemical catalyst of change in the attempt to return you to a sense of wholeness that the transition has altered.
