Role of rituals in the quest for inner meaning

Life is filled with routines. Routines are typically not a meaningful part of our day, but it needs to get done so we do it. It’s a chore.  Rituals, on the other hand, are more meaningful practices.  Often, there is symbolism involved, and a real sense of purpose.  The use of rituals can help move us to the space where we connect with our spirit.  The ritual does not serve as the end but the beginning of the connection process to our innermost self 

Rituals allow the transition from every day life into the sacred space to happen more easily and smoothly.
