Up: [[The In-Between Times]] Created: 2024-02-08 In the past, [[Rituals]] were used more when we were in a liminal state. Prayers or fasting, for example, would lead to the person having a dream, seeing a totem animal, or getting a message from a god or goddess. Many cultures no longer have those rituals. We now pay to experience them as led by a shaman or indigenous healer. Or we pay to have physically challenging, Outward Bound type experiences. Or we play around the edges, as I do with seasonal or full moon rituals. I agree with Bridges’ assertion that rituals are *amplifiers* of what is going on naturally. He says we are hardwired to get signs which can be as simple as a new idea starting to niggle at our consciousness. I feel that today after last night’s two private messages about the personal, meaningful value of my LYT expert session. Is there something that I might want to be doing?
