Your birthday is a very special and powerful day in terms of energy. It is the day you came into earthly existence. The moment you took your first breath. Therefore, it is a day worthy of your presence and self-love. Here we will explain the best birthday rituals.
This is the moment when we close a circle to begin another full of hope and new possibilities. Going around the Sun is a new opportunity to do things differently.
One way to pay reverence to this day and give it the importance it deserves is to perform a ritual that leads you to connection with yourself, empowerment, self-reflection, and personal restoration.
Below we leave you 5 simple rituals that you can perform on your birthday. Take note!
1. Write a letter to yourself
Choose a quiet space where you feel comfortable and at peace. Take some time to reflect on everything that the past year has brought you. Make a list of everything that has gone well, the small or large victories you have achieved. Also write down the moments of true personal growth, the learnings, and point out the ways in which you are proud of yourself.
Once you have done it, read it again, putting awareness into each of your words. Congratulate yourself for all that you have grown this year, burn this piece of paper and give thanks. Enter the next revolution around the sun with the vibration of gratitude.
2. Your morning of self-love
Allow yourself to have your most ideal morning on your own terms and schedule. Wake up at the time you choose and as soon as you do, before you set foot on the ground, say three things you love about yourself.
Take a nice shower or bath and when you do, be aware of how you cleanse and purify your body for this new stage and revolution of the sun.
The rest is entirely up to you. Do what you like best!
3. Your mantra of the year
Mantras are groups of words loaded with special meaning that direct your energy and intention to achieve your goals. A personal mantra can be composed of a single word or it can be a short phrase.
On your birthday, establish a phrase that you will repeat to yourself every day for the next year. Although it may evolve over time, choose a quality or vision for yourself. Write it down on paper in the present tense so that it translates into your subconscious as a truth.
You can decorate or paint the phrase however you like or whatever inspires you. Once you have it, place it somewhere where you will see it every day.
Say your mantra every day when you wake up, before you go to sleep, and any other time you see it hanging. You will see how little by little you will internalize the phrase and it will become part of you.
4. Honor Mother Earth
A birthday is an amazing time to pay homage to our connection to Mother Earth and be thankful for what we have. To do this, go to a special place in nature. If you are in a city, it can be a park or a small garden that you like. Once there, take off your shoes to be in direct contact with the Earth and spend a few minutes breathing fresh air and being thankful for what you have.
5. Clean and beautify your space
Birthdays are a good time to perform a ritual of cleansing and purifying our space. It is a perfect time to restore our well-being. To do this, a couple of days before your birthday, do a thorough cleaning of your house or room. Organize your drawers, give away clothes you no longer wear, and rearrange your furniture if you think it is necessary. Once you have everything organized, open the windows and purify your space by passing copal incense throughout the house. When you are done, give thanks.
We hope these rituals help you connect with yourself on your birthday!
