18-Minute Morning Five Ritual Invitation - The 30-day Communion (Challenge)

Mohawkmomma Soul

Dear scribblers + speakers,

All July is dedicated to my ancestor, Great Great Ma Ella Ellis. She was born July 4, 1885. This 30-day communion honors her. Our Morning Five are part of what I call CARE Rituals. They are punctuation marks and without them, each day is like a run-on sentence. There is a better way for you to engage the day—your rituals, personally + collectively.

1) H2O Cocktail —Revitalize and re-hydrate first thing each day (yes, before matcha or coffee). Put together 8oz of filtered water with ¼ fresh lemon and ¼-½ tsp of sea salt.

2) Light—Done hydrating? Splendid, head outside! Just like plants, we have a distinct need for sunshine, water alone won’t keep our leaves green + vibrant. Sunshine is not only responsible for Vitamin D synthesis (every cell in the body is partly regulated by it), but it’s also the key agent in our circadian rhythm.

3) Movement—It’s important to have a movement practice that goes beyond hustling out the door or doing all the things around the house. Try setting aside at least 3 minutes for simple stretching, yoga, jumping-jacks, weight training, etc… Whatever you choose, you’re allowing the body to calibrate ahead of your daily duties, and encouraging healthier stress-response. Oh, and sex is good also.

4) Meditation — Just 5 minutes — the nurture of the quieting-of-mind in Scripture or the elongated sitting with oneself, and the Spirit (Ruach) for 5 minutes can be hospitable to a naturally-calmer morning mind.

5) Gratitude—The practice of daily gratitude is arguably strongest in the morning and it amplifies what's already there.
