When we can create calming rituals in our home, we can begin to bring awareness into our daily lives and routine that can relieve stress. It can be as simple as lighting a candle while you wash the dishes. Cooking with intention or deep breathing before bed. Just like the daily rituals we have out of necessity, calming rituals if repeated will become a habit that will eventually become a part of our life. Attaching healing visualizations to daily chores or activities can change moments of the mundane into centering and clearing moments of awareness that bring you back into your intention for the day and, ultimately, your life purpose. Here are a few more examples of calming rituals that take little effort outside of setting our intention and doing the mind work.  

Moving meditations of healing while doing housework:  
Vacuuming/Sweeping- Breathing and setting the intent of clearing. Visualize all of the dirt being cleared away by the vacuum is in fact the dirt and clutter in your mind, or in your body.  

Washing the dishes, the car, the windows, etc: 
Breathing and setting the intent of washing away all worry and painful emotions, unhealthy energy or pain in the body.  

Taking your shoes off before entering the house:
Leave the uninvited energy of the day at the door and take your shoes off as soon as you come into the house. Keep your shoes in the same place every time you enter.  When walking into your home, you are walking into your sacred space that is clear from all that went on around you and through you during the day.  

Moments of prayer, intention or silent reflection before meals, bathing and sleep:
Meals, bathing and sleep are important anchoring ritual moments in our lives. When we attach moments of reflection, prayer and intent to these moments we are sustaining ourselves within a perception and reality of love and nurturing that not only can effect others but can effect our subconscious mind before we drift off to sleep. Affirmations and positive visualization before sleep are very powerful calming rituals that can not only help you reduce stress but also help you create the kind of life your heart and spirit desire to live.
