I have noticed that a lot of people want to do a ritual for prosperity, healing, love etc., but think that it works like Amazon Prime: do a ritual and get instant results. Now I know that this can and has happened, however it is rare.
Rituals open the door to new energy and then it is up to you to walk through it consciously. That takes the awareness that changing a habit or belief system takes consistency and time. In fact, most habits take approximately 66 days or more to shift.
As we have learned from Neuroscience, nerve cells that fire together, wire together. The key to change is to disentangle from the old programs and that may involve feeling uncomfortable for a while as you move forward.
Time Delay: there is also the concept of time delay that I learned years ago from Robert Fritz. Imagine you decide to get healthy today and change the way you eat and exercise. You begin a new regime and then in a few days weigh yourself. OOPS…you find you gained 2 pounds. Does this mean the new regime is not working? Well, you forgot that last week over the holidays you ate twice or three times as much as normal and hardly went to the gym. It is the past catching up with you. IF you continue your new regime, you will eventually build a healthier and more resilient body.
My advice: be gentle with yourself when you are shifting lanes and take small consistent action steps daily to move you in the new direction that you have chosen. Let your future vision define who you need to become. Connect emotionally to this new future. This can be done through ritual, meditation, and visualization. And surround yourself with supportive people who will encourage you on your journey.
