The Power of Ritual: Turning Everyday Activities… by Casper ter Kuile
I decided to read this book because I love the HPST podcast and have learned much from it. I gleaned a little from the book, and it did put me in an introspective state a couple of times, but I dunno… I just didn’t love it.
This was really lovely, and I truly enjoyed listening to it. Now in these Covid times, it’s harder to see how community can be created even though it’s needed more than ever. It’s given me a lot to think about as far as ways to incorporate the sacred into daily life.
Author Casper ter Kuile walks his readers through the process of finding spiritual direction, and how you can turn everyday rituals into more intentional and meaningful practices. While this book was written pre-COVID19, it couldn't have been released at a better time. Many of us are struggling to find a sense of ritual and routine in a world that seems almost unrecognizable.
His writing is approachable and I loved the reminder that we might already be doing some of this already...and we might just need to become a bit more intentional. Rituals don't need to be complicated, but rather as long as you include these three elements, intention, attention, and repetition...most anything can become a spiritual practice in your own day to day life.
I love this practical approach that is clear, encouraging, and filled with relatable wisdom. It is a quick read that will leave you with an actionable plan to find more connection and intentionality in your own life. You can read this and other book reviews at genthebookworm.com
