#23 The Power of Ceremony to Refill the Well

Nonsense in the Chaos

Whilst on my holibobs I used my portable equipment to create a podcast for you this week as I walk my way around Guernsey and muse on the year I’ve had, especially thinking about my health. It has been a big and busy year. It’s been an ‘8’ year in numerology, which is the number of ‘life-force energy’ and therefore burnout was a likely side-effect of living through such a powerful year. I tried hard to be a fit receptacle, by exercising, doing my morning practice and eating the right foods, but all in all I’ve been burnt out for most of the year. I don’t have all the answers for what the root cause of this might be, but explore some possible reasons whilst on my rambles, as I walk around the island and take in the views.

Ceremony is one of the things that helps me to refill the well. Even if it feels like a drag or I’m not in the mood, I never regret it once I’m there and leave every one of them feeling rejuvenated and healed. I share how, for me, ceremony acts like punctuation in what would otherwise be a never ending sentence of life. Ceremony allows me time to stop, breath, re-evaluate, check I’m still heading in the right direction and correct my course if I’ve gone astray.

As I made this recording on the road I’m afraid there isn’t an accompanying video for my Patreon supporters, and the sound quality isn’t studio level, but I think it has a different ‘in the field’ quality that I hope you’ll still enjoy.
