"What is the importance of rituals in our lives? " Our life is cyclical. We have phases and moments.
Some that repeat themselves, never the same, alike. And others that are moments that start, end and then other moments start which do not necessarily have the same connection with the previous one. It is important, often, to know how to recognize and understand this passage, understand that a cycle is ending, to close that cycle and open another cycle.
Because otherwise we are always trapped, and can't leave what is already passing by, and can't direct ourselves to what is to come. So, in this aspect, rituals are important, which are moments of passage, from a ritual that can be the full moon, to recognize that another moon has passed, that is, we arrive at the full moon, it has its energy, it's important to recognize this moment, a month is over, let's start a new month, what is gone, where do I go? Or the ritual that may be the moment in which.
. . weddings, for example.
I've finished a phase of my life, I'm beginning a new phase of my life. Having that moment, having this key, that is, having the ability to mark this change. So that we can see that a phase is ending or ended and that we are starting a new cycle.
I think this is one importance of rituals. Rituals also have the function of directing our life, reminding us of what we need to remember. They have the function of helping us to familiarize our minds with certain aspects, to experience certain experiences that are important.
To help us create conditionings, create positive habits. Because through a ritual, that is, a repetition of certain words, of certain concepts, certain actions that are repeated always the same way when you do it. So, in fact, what ends up happening is: we create a habit, we shape our lives in a certain direction.
We all have rituals of several kinds. We have to see how much they are good or bad for us. It's not because it's a ritual that it is necessarily good.
It can condition us in a negative way or can familiarize us in a positive way. We have to see what kind of ritual it is and in what way it shapes us. This is important.
