Why Should We Live Life Like A Ritual?

Rev. Jodi is grateful to have Dr. JR Heiz, Dr. Vibe back on Self-Cell Care to explore what it means to live your life like a ritual. What is a Ritual? Rituals are intricate and purposeful sequences of actions that embody profound cultural significance and personal meaning. Drawing from the insights of Dr. JR and anthropological perspectives, a ritual can be defined as a stylized and formalized practice often involving gestures, words, and revered objects that transcends ordinary activities. These actions are not merely functional; they serve to signify transformation and convey deeper meanings within both community and individual contexts. They are orderly prescribed action patterns of movement and speech reportedly separated from mundane activities in a rather clear manner. This formalism sanctions the rituals to make it all about holiness, which enables men and women to tap into something greater than themselves: the culture, faith, or purpose. Further, rituals are a mechanism for the crossover between the profane and the sacred. They enable efficient delivery of the provisions by offering organized templates of existence, which one can use to understand the inner and outer world. Thus, as Rubin suggests, ritual is a type of system of symbolic practice through which people turn inchoate feelings into something more readily perceptible in terms of meaning.
