Hygge Spiritual Practice: The Centering Prayer Ritual

This month, we're exploring the connection between hygge & spirituality. Or, in other words, what it would look like or feel like to create a hygge spiritual practice.

Contemplative or meditative practices seem perfect for making hygge moments spiritual.

You could start by heading for your coziest space and getting as comfortable as possible. But bring your cup of hot chocolate & your journal with you.

Once you're settled, you could try a contemplative practice like centering prayer...

"Centering Prayer is a meditative practice. However, it does not focus on words but instead on the places of interior silence and stillness where the divine abides, inviting practitioners toward a deeper connection. Centering Prayer slowly transforms us at our very core in a way that is beyond words, teaching us to not only abide in the presence of the Divine but also cultivating a sense of inner silence and stillness."

3-Step Hygge Ritual w/ Centering Prayer

Step One: Create the hygge moment ~ make yourself a cup of tea, grab your journal & light a candle, getting settled into comfort.

Step Two: Choose an amount of time to spend in centering prayer & begin. Breathe deeply, and stay open to a deeper experience of the truth of who you are, the presence of the divine and your connection to the divine. Some people focus on a word, like "peace," but it is not necessary if you'd rather not.

Step Three: Write out any insights or important thoughts in your journal & when you feel complete with the experience, blow out the candle.

See you next time!
