Creating Rituals with Spirit…plus a journalling formula!
YOur daily empowerment
I was fortunate to have Judy Machado refer Andrew Critelli to me!
Judy met Andrew at a conference they were both attending. They spoke about similar interests and she mentioned to him who helped create her book (ME!). When Andrew returned home from the conference he immediately contacted me to see if I would be interested in helping him with the idea for his journal.
Earlier that year, Andrew had been diligently focusing on his personal awareness for creating a life of abundance and fulfillment. He found himself being led by divine intuition and felt the universe calling him on a specific path. Andrew was being guided on his spiritual path.
After reading numerous books and following all the great leaders who share in those books a variety of methods to live a happier life - Andrew felt called to pull together all he learned into a fun, simple and easy to follow practice. He created a system of morning and nightly rituals to start the day in a higher vibration and end it in a positive state. Creating this book is his way of guiding you on your spiritual path!
His vision for this book included a total of 18 rituals, accompanied by a little icon to illustrate what each of the practices represent. He also wanted to include journaling pages after every morning and nightly ritual page to allow space for the participant to write their own thoughts and experiences. Every day, there is a quote that Andrew specifically wanted you to read which helped inspire him on his own spiritual path. We worked together to make the rituals, icons and journaling to be an enjoyable, straightforward and manageable experience.
Below is a summary of his 9 Daily and 9 Nightly Rituals for a happier life! The rituals are explained in the introduction of his book which also includes tips on how to get started.
Morning Rituals
Gratitude
Start your morning with gratitude. There is a bountiful amount of statistics and data to confirm the benefits of saying your thanks…need I say more!!
Morning Prayer
A beautiful script of declaring a powerful devotion to start your day on the right foot.
Special Intention
Your guiding force to lead you in the direction of your ultimate destination.
Momentum Questions
You can quickly lose energy, but if you ask the right questions, you can gain power and strength right back.
Service
No service is too small or too big. Giving what you can to those around you will not only support you but it will affect and effect you!
I am a creator
Taking action on the things that matter to you…just as you did when you were a kid. Here you can be a kid again and create with passion.
Magic and Miracles
Look at miracles and look for magic everywhere. When we want things to come true and when they are aligned to our greater purpose, they will be granted!
My big shabang
This is where you will declare your purpose. It is not a small feat..it’s the real deal!
Affirmations
State your wish, goal or dream. When paired with “I am” you feel the intensity and the impact that it deserves.
Nightly Rituals
Todays Victories
Celebrate your achievements today…big or small…they all add up to excelerate your forward progression.
The universe smiled today when…
The physical, intangible or abstract gifts that you received today. The more you become aware of all the gifts around you the easier and more frequent it will be to notice them.
Guidance system calibration
You are guided everyday by your feelings and what you are good at. This is your chance to recognize and recalibrate what you are doing everyday.
Intuitive Pulse
This is when you practice listening to your “inner knowing” and building the power to trust yourself.
Forgive and Forget
Here is an effective reading that you can recite every night to release what no longer serves you.
Surrender
Surrendering is your opportunity to express whatever you are trying for and realizing that your efforts will be matched by an external force. Trust that it will be taken care of.
Affirmations
By declaring these meaningful, encouraging and powerful statements at night, affirmations allow your subconscious mind to work on it, even while you sleep.
Meditate
Here you will consciously practice breathing allowing your thoughts to come and go. After this ritual you can record anything you felt, saw or heard during this practice.
Visualize
This is your chance to dream what you would like to happen tomorrow and beyond. But picturing your future and all the positive emotions that will be felt in the short and long term, they will become attracted because your focus is directly on those specific feelings.
