THREE DAYS GRACE

The Ritual Bracelet was designed on the concept of a 40 day practice.

Why was 40 days chosen?

There is a universal power to 40 days. It is reflected in many sacred texts, scriptures and biblical stories.

Many ancient and Eastern teachings and practices are based on 40 days.  …including Sadhana.

The number 40 appears in many scriptures and sacred texts worldwide and represents a period of intense testing, purification, preparation, and transformation in many religious and spiritual traditions from Eastern to Western civilizations. Explore more specific references here.

With respect to making lifestyle changes and forming new habits, 40 days is a moderate amount of time to try out something new to see if it's going to take hold. Consistency within the brain for 40 consecutive days allows new neural connections to form, activate, and communicate. Think of it as putting up new power lines through a rural area. It takes a lot of work to get service. The same goes for restructuring the brain to learn new games, skills, jobs, patterns, etc. Repetition is key.

If words like “transformation” and “purification” over 40 days seems a bit excessive - NO WORRIES.  That is why we invite you to create your own ritual/practice and give yourself a little Grace along the way.

What does Three Days Grace mean?

The Three days of Grace are a built in compassion piece in how you do your ritual or practice. The compassion piece is built into how we do Sadhana. Allot yourself three days out of the 40 to give yourself some Grace. As they say, “Life Happens”.  These three days are for when “Life Happens” and you can’t give your ritual the attention it deserves. You may pause for a day because of an unexpected change in events. Give yourself the Grace you deserve to pause, regroup, realign and regain momentum. Trust us. If you’re doing a 40 day Ritual for yourself, these three days will also show you about the importance of where you place your kindness.

 

Look for future blogs on the topic of showing yourself kindness. How to pause without getting stuck.

Blessings - “May the power of Sadhana be with you. May this RItual serve you well”.
