The Art of Sacred Adornment
Most of us have done ‘the work’.
We have taken the classes, read the books, sat in the therapy sessions, met with the healer, swallowed the supplements, refined the diet, said the mantras, and completed the trainings.
We have the certificates, bookshelves, dietary restrictions, and tools to show all we have been through. (Know that I am not being sarcastic here— I myself have done everything listed here, and then some.)
And yet, something is off.
Often in these moments of feeling off we turn outside of ourselves and look to see what out there could be brought inside of us. “Where is the missing puzzle piece and how can I incorporate it into myself?”
What if you HAVE done it all? And you HAVE done it all perfectly. And you ARE complete…
What if you could design your day differently not by adding one more thing to the list of things you do, but rather by bringing intention to what you are already doing?
Every day you are deciding what to wear, right?
What if instead of reaching for whatever looked comfortable or looked clean you spent one moment checking in with how you feel and adorning yourself accordingly?
We are multifaceted beings. Which facet wants to shine on any given day is an important decision.
Gold earrings that look like the sun carry a very different energy than silver earrings depicting moon phases..
Imagine feeling magical in the midst of your day. While the world and responsibilities swirl around you, you are tuned in to your intuition.
Sacred Adornment is the act, and the art, of choosing your adornments with intention and awareness when you decide to place them on your body.
How do you want to navigate the day you have laid out before you?
Set your intention and adorn yourself accordingly.
It is a powerful practice to connect to your deepest desires and decide how you wish to travel through your day.
Sacred Adornment can encapsulate all you adorn with daily— clothing, jewelry, scented oils, makeup, even how you wear your hair.
This is the art of connecting to yourself (that is usually so damn busy!) through the Art of Sacred Adornment. It is a lost art for many, but it is right there, waiting for you to utilize the power of it.
You are the artist. Your body is the canvas.
Your adornments are a conversation with yourself, a secret you never need to share with anyone else.
Throughout the day when you feel your earrings brush against your neck or when you glance down at your necklace, be reminded to recenter, go deep, remember your inner knowing, and refresh your intention for the day.
