Micro Rituals
You might not have heard about “micro rituals” -no wonder, that’s how I call self-created little rituals of different kind. I know many here in the West are allergic to rituals – rituals are often associated with the pomp and the old-fashioned forms of a spirituality of the past. However, we are now in a time of the incoming Seventh Ray of rhythm and order, of white magical transformation, coming in with fresh energies.
You can forget any lengthy and complicated papers and explanations when it comes to micro rituals. They are something I like to do – and you might like them, too, or already do them without coining them as “micro rituals”:
Whenever you like to repeat something in a regular and rhythmic way, it might already be a micro ritual. It can be in many forms of everyday life, for example how you keep order in the kitchen or bathroom with some loving care to the order. It might become a ritual when you do it with attention and awareness, not just automatically. Done automatically, it is on the way of becoming crystalized – the danger and death of any ritualistic activity.
You can keep it alive with maintaining awareness of the presence of suble energies.
It might be the way you water your flowers, or lighten a candle, or how you decorate a little altar. Micro rituals should bring some shine into your life. In 2005, after a long marriage ritual in Visakhapatnam, Master Kumar told us that doing these rituals manifests some light and magnetism in the surroundings which you cannot manifest otherwise -and all of us had strongly felt this.
The magnetic impact can also be felt and manifested in miniature form with a micro ritual. What is important is to inwardly align with it to the subtle world, to the divine, to the greater whole. When you are aware of the beauty and magnetism of what you are doing as a micro ritual, it manifests in your surroundings.
I like doing regularly short visualisations or the short version of the fire ritual. I created some rituals myself, like a little fire ritual when outside it is raining, using seven candles. Just do your own experiments -it needs perseverance our of free will and maintaining a rhythm over a longer time without feeling any inner pressure to do so, like watering a flower on a specific day at a specific time. (I water a flower every Saturday morning.) After some time you will start liking it and it becomes part of your inner rhythm, of your life.
No time for this? Having “no time” is having “no will for this”. Creating a short space in time is part of the subtle mobilising of the will through love. If you love it you will find time to do it. Otherwise better leave it. Will you then have more time? For what? It creates some white magic in life by doing micro rituals.
