Rituals Of The Soul

Prepare for a Great Adventure: Your Daily Life Kori Hahn has always done life her way — living off the grid as a young woman in Alaska; studying with spiritual teachers and soul guides in Mexico, Sri Lanka, and Morocco; surfing around the world. Yet her primary, perennial quest has been an inner one. To that end, she evolved the practices she shares in this book, simple daily steps grounded in sacred yogic texts that will help you live your life your way, with maximum meaning and joy. Timeless principles of awareness, intuition, self-knowledge, and manifestation become contemporary practices incorporating visualization, breath work, journaling affirmations, and meditation. These habits of being grow the soul, enable our bravest and best selves, and, as Hahn shows, can take you wherever you most want to be.

One day it just happens. You throw away all the limiting beliefs that you once held and learn that you are in charge of your own destiny. You realize that to find love you must first learn how to encompass love and use that self-love as the benchmark for teaching others how to treat you. You learn that wisdom is a beautiful gift that comes with age and that it is acquired through facing challenges and persevering, even in the face of utter grief. You learn that only in the darkest times can deep enlightenment and understanding be revealed. You learn that a broken heart not only mends, but it grows bigger and brighter than ever before. And from it, you are able to cherish every connection around you with so much more depth than you ever thought possible. You learn that in order to see clarity in your life, you must take a step back, look at yourself with self-awareness, with self-acceptance, and see the world from another’s view. And with every day you learn a little bit more about yourself, your life, and your connection with the Universe. And that there is one key element needed for all of this beautiful understanding to come through—the willingness to try again, no matter how many times you fall down, no matter how many times you fail, you must get back up and keep going. That’s the real secret. Resilience, acceptance, courage, and hope. It’s the unshakable faith in the Universe. It’s believing that you are always divinely guided, supported, loved, and cherished. It’s knowing that better days will always come. And if you need a reminder, then that’s what this little book brings: short extracts of motivation and inspiration to encourage you to keep going through life’s challenges. Each page holds wisdom to help you handle the task at hand with spiritual guidance and nurturing love. Simply open the book at random, or explore the chapters to find the theme of your current struggles. Let yourself be held in the infinite love of the Universe.
