7 Daily Rituals of a Soul Aligned Woman That Will Make You Unrecognizable

ashlina kaposta April 15, 2024

Looking for a list of habits to help inspire you to get your life together and become the best version of yourself? This post was specifically made for you.

As a double Capricorn, I pride myself on the ability to be self-disciplined in order to achieve a goal. It literally feels like a code that was written into my DNA. I thrive with a good structure yet at the same time, there is an aspect of me that craves a beautiful, ritualistic approach to my consistency… feels like it comes from my Libra stellium. Yes, I’m obsessed with astrology.

So it should be no surprise that I create seasonal rituals that help me to stay aligned as I move through growth and pursue my goals. In this podcast episode, I dive deep into what my current ritual situation looks like for me and also I give concrete reasons and specifics as to why you should incorporate each of these into your own growth and personal manifestation journey.

Listen to the episode here:

7 Daily Rituals of a Soul Aligned Woman That Will Make You Unrecognizable

🖤 Morning Hydration Rituals.

I have come to learn the importance of fueling your body first thing in the morning so that you can have a successful, productive, healthy and happy day. Our health is absolutely essential in order for us to thrive in our souls purpose.

Because I like to change things up versus do the same thing every single day, these are a few of things I enjoy first thing in the morning:

  • Iced coffee black with no creamer

  • Hot green tea with lemon

  • Iced Matcha Latte with coconut milk (this sweetened one is my favorite)

  • Hot water with lemon

  • Green celery juice or carrot juice

🖤 Journal to Connect with Your Inner Child and Emotions.

If anyone were to ask me the single most important thing on any manifestation/personal growth journey, I would hands down say, journaling. There are so many reasons why and even more benefits but let me just give you a few of my favorites:

  • scripting can help your subconscious mind create your future

  • mind dumping can help clear space in your head so you can live with a bit more serenity

  • morning pages can help you connect with your intuition and higher self with ease

    I have published two guided journals that are intended to help you get started with journaling and make it so much more easy to stay consistent with it. The Daily Bliss & The Blissful Living Journal.

🖤 Move your body.

Moving your body every day holds immense spiritual and physical significance. From a spiritual perspective, daily movement serves as a form of meditation, allowing you to connect with your inner self and the world around you. Whether through yoga, dance, or simply walking in nature, movement can help quiet the mind, reduce stress, and foster a sense of mindfulness and presence.

Physically, regular movement is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. It improves circulation, strengthens muscles and bones, and promotes flexibility and balance. Daily movement also supports mental health by releasing endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, and enhancing cognitive function.

By honoring your body with daily movement, you not only nourish your physical vessel but also nurture your spirit, fostering harmony and vitality in mind, body, and soul.

A few of my favorite ways to move my body:

  • walking

  • yoga/barre/pilates

  • playing tennis

  • practicing sports with my child

🖤 Dress according to your highest self and chakras.

Dressing in alignment with your chakras can have profound benefits for both your physical and spiritual well-being. Each chakra is associated with specific colors and energies, and by intentionally selecting clothing that corresponds to these colors, you can support and balance the energy centers within your body. For example, wearing red clothing can stimulate the root chakra, promoting feelings of stability, security, and groundedness, while blue attire can activate the throat chakra, facilitating clear communication and self-expression.

By dressing for your chakras, you not only enhance your energetic alignment but also cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and harmony. Additionally, choosing clothing that resonates with your chakra energies can boost confidence, enhance mood, and promote a sense of inner balance and empowerment.

DRESSING UP ACCORDING TO THE CHAKRAS:

Red (Root Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Grounding, stability, security, survival instincts, physical health, vitality, connection to the earth.

Orange (Sacral Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Creativity, passion, emotional balance, sensuality, pleasure, fertility, connection to others.

Yellow (Solar Plexus Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Personal power, self-confidence, willpower, digestion, metabolism, mental clarity, courage.

Green (Heart Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Love, compassion, forgiveness, emotional healing, harmony, balance, connection to nature.

Blue (Throat Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Communication, self-expression, truthfulness, creativity, listening skills, thyroid health.

Indigo (Third Eye Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Intuition, insight, imagination, wisdom, psychic abilities, clarity of thought, vision.

Violet or Purple (Crown Chakra):

  • Benefits/Healing Aspects: Spirituality, consciousness, enlightenment, connection to the divine, higher purpose, cosmic awareness.

🖤 Meditations and Self Talk Rampages.

As a life coach, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of incorporating positive self-talk rampages and meditations into your daily ritual. These practices serve as powerful tools for cultivating self-awareness, nurturing self-love, and aligning with your highest potential.

Positive self-talk rampages involve consciously directing your thoughts and words towards affirming beliefs and empowering statements. By consistently reinforcing positive messages, you can rewire your subconscious mind, overcome limiting beliefs, and cultivate a mindset of abundance and possibility. Similarly, daily meditation allows you to quiet the chatter of the mind, connect with your inner wisdom, and tap into a deeper sense of peace and clarity.

Through meditation, you can release stress, access your intuition, and cultivate a profound sense of presence and mindfulness in every moment. Together, positive self-talk rampages and meditations form a synergistic practice that supports your spiritual growth, fosters inner transformation, and empowers you to live a life aligned with your soul's purpose. By making these practices a priority in your daily routine, you open yourself up to a world of limitless potential and profound spiritual awakening.

🖤 Paying close attention to Your Intuition.

Creating a deeper connection to your intuition is paramount for navigating life with clarity, purpose, and authenticity. Your intuition serves as an inner compass, guiding you towards paths that align with your soul's desires and highest good. By cultivating a strong connection to your intuition, you gain access to a wellspring of wisdom and insight that can illuminate your path and inform your decisions. This deepened intuition allows you to discern between what truly resonates with your authentic self and what may be influenced by external expectations or fears.

Nurturing your intuitive abilities fosters a greater sense of trust in yourself and in the universe, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence. As you learn to listen to and honor your intuition, you open yourself up to a world of infinite possibilities, guided by the wisdom of your soul.

🖤 Focus on everyday activities that make you feel good.

When you prioritize activities and choices that resonate with your inner guidance and bring you joy, you align with the flow of life and tap into your intuition. By honoring your desires and preferences, you cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust and authenticity, allowing you to live authentically and in alignment with your true essence.

When you follow what feels good, you prioritize self-care and nourish your body, mind, and soul, fostering a greater sense of balance and harmony. Embracing your feminine energy allows you to cultivate a life filled with joy, passion, and purpose, as you align with the natural rhythms of the universe and co-create your reality with love and intention.

Sunday Wellness Ritual: 5 ways to heal with houseplants

ashlina kaposta July 11, 2023

This blog post is all about the healing benefits of houseplants.

I literally never thought I would say this but with every year that passes, grandparents are the vibe. I find myself getting more and more interested in the things that I grew up watching my grandparents do.

My grandmother would always set the table for no reason at all and I used to think it was the dumbest thing to do. Now I realize it was just a form of creative expression.

I spent my weekend car shopping and for the very first time in my entire car-driving history have I ever considered the terms ‘safety & reliability’ and ‘gets great gas mileage’ .

I’ve also fully surrendered to the fact that I now have an entire cabinet containing pretty pink garden gloves, a watering can, pruning shears and an oversized straw sun hat.

All things I never imagined I would ever succumb to.

Enter my houseplant / gardening phase of life. . .

. . . and to be completely honest with you, I’m not sure I’ve ever been so excited about something so simple.

Now, there’s a reason I am sharing this with you, I am now a fully devoted believer that when you enrich your environment with houseplants, you take in their energy into your being. And plants are the most feminine energy beings on the planet.

Simply put, plants receive and grow. That’s it. They fully and completely receive and surrender to the watering, nourishing, love and care. Then, they grow. They thrive, they show off, they shine and then they grow some more. But their main function is receptive energy. What they give in return is in the air that they breathe and their beauty. The beauty that we so delight in, is in the color, shape, size and ability to grow. That’s it.

We women should absolutely take notes.

Once I started bringing home houseplants I noticed that the whole process of caring for my houseplants was an experience that literally shifted my own relationship with feminine energy. It’s an experience that will heal your heart if you allow it to.

5 ways to heal with house plants:

🪴 1. Heal your commitment issues by making a weekly ritual to spend quality time caring for your plants. lol. Plants are a total commitment, kind of like having a pet to be honest. It was focus and consistent care to keep your plants living and thriving. Studies have shown that routines provide structure and are linked to better mental health.

I personally have made Sunday my plant care day. Every Sunday, I have a full on morning ritual where I fully water/spray/mist/clean/dust my plants or whatever care they need. Not all plants need to be watered that regularly. As you build a connection and get to know your plants, you will learn how they like to be cared for and this fully gets you into your nurturing side. Horticultural therapy has been used by many researchers to study the effects that house plant care has on the mental wellness of their patients. It’s been proven to combat depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions.

🪴 2. Heal your tendency to burn out by making a daily connection with nature by engaging with your plants. Here’s the thing about planting and gardening, you get your hands dirty with nature and that’s an incredibly grounding and calming experience. Fertilizer and water are excellent to play with when you feel a little overwhelmed by the chaos of life.

On Sundays, when I spend time with my plants, my phone is down, I’m sipping my coffee and enjoying every second of it. I’ve got my hands on the leaves clearing them of dust, I’m misting the leaves, seeing what needs to be cleaned, engaging with mother nature, feeling dirt in my nails, etc. It’s an entire EARTHING experience.

Also, when you’re watering the plants, you are instantly tuned into the frequency of calm.

LEARN HOW TO CREATE A HIGH VIBRATIONAL HOME FOR CALM

🪴 3. Speaking of calm, heal your stress by interacting with your plants. I swear, whenever I am stressed or overwhelmed, I get very present when I get into my plant care. It helps me to zone out, focus on the task at hand and breathe with the plants which feels like deep breath work. Gardening, weeding, watering plants, etc can create neurological patterns and rhythms that soothe & ease stress.

When you get into house plant care, you engage in some mental health habits like…

Surrendering to imperfections. No matter how carefully you plan and care for your houseplants, you never know what you will get.

Practicing acceptance. most of our suffering comes from our need to be in control, when we surrender we heal. Houseplants help us to surrender to the growth process.

Cultivating patience. Plants take time to grow, it just doesn’t happen overnight. As you tap into your ‘inner gardenista’ you will totally benefit from slowing down and practicing the art of patience.

🪴 4. Heal your hormones by boosting your dopamine when you see your plants are growing. Here’s the thing, when you start to see your houseplants growing new leaves and thriving, you will completely jump for joy. It is so so rewarding to see your hard work pay off and it feels so good. That boost of dopamine can get addicting too. I think thats why I now have over 10 plants in my home and counting. I have absolutely loved watching my plant babies grow.

Another thing that feels so good is connecting with my little one. He loves to name each plant, take care of and water them. I get to teach him all of these wellness habits by caring for our plants. It offers us a way to bond and connect over taking care of something else without having to bring a pet into the home. :) ( so not ready for that yet ).

🪴 5. Heal your heart chakra by connecting with and surrounding yourself with the color green. Color therapy is literally everything. The Japanese expression "shinrin-yoku" can be translated as "forest bathing," which nicely captures the experience of being immersed in green. A growing body of research has found all kinds of benefits from being in natural landscapes.

My Sunday morning plant care ritual:

nurture myself.

I love grabbing my cup of coffee and playing some relaxing jazz music in the background. I like to light up some of my favorite candles, too. I make it a whole vibe.

Sunlight.

Your plants need that bright morning light so open the curtains, pull up those blinds and allow the sunlight in.

watering.

I start by taking a look at each plant and determining if she just needs a little misting or if she needs a full bath. I have a spray can ready to go for misting and petting each and every one of my plants leaves.

POTTING + TRIMMing.

Then, I get into the actual care by repotting, trimming, propagating. All of the fun planting things. This is where I usually get the most in the zone of plant care.

I am absolutely obsessed with having green ALL throughout my home. I’ve even started to frame art work of plants and flowers just to keep the vibe going in my home decor.

You will love the way your home feels as you curate your own house plant collection. I love shopping for “outfits” for my plants aka planters. I started with a set of these 3 pink planters but my plants quickly grew out of them and into some bigger pots. Here are some of my favorites:

Also, there are several books I recommend as you start your own house plant collection:

  1. Wild at Home by Hilton Carter

  2. Plantopedia: the definitive guide to houseplants

  3. The house plant whisperer

Art is another form of therapy that I completely love in my home. Not only do I love being surrounded by plants, I love art with flowers, gardens and plants in them too. It’s good & healing feng shui. I had to frame one of my favorite prints, water lilies at night by claude monet.
