Hey, babe!
Today, I want to share a few simple practices you can incorporate into your workday to stay connected to your spirituality, all while flying under the radar. I know how challenging it can be to maintain that sacred connection in a busy work environment, especially when you don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself. So, here are a few subtle yet powerful ways to keep your spiritual flame burning.
Pray Over Your Food
This doesn’t need to be a grand ritual. Just close your eyes for a moment, take a deep breath, and mentally give thanks to the humans, animals, plants, and all the beings that brought this nourishment to you. I have a short prayer I say while prepping my meal- adding a dash of pepper, slicing into meat, or performing any small action before that first bite – this way I am not being overly obvious that I’m praying. It only takes a few seconds but makes a world of difference in how I connect with my food.
Place a Gemstone on Your Desk
I keep a smoky quartz crystal near my work computer to ensure that all communication is clear and grounded. A simple stone can serve as a powerful anchor, keeping you centered and focused during the day.
Wear Enchanted Jewelry
Jewelry can be more than just an accessory. I have several gemstone bracelets, each linked to different deities and spiritual companions. On my left wrist, I wear a bracelet connected to my spirit guardian, Petal, and another that aids my focus. On my right wrist, I have one for Gwyn ap Nudd, one for Lugh, and another for my astral husband. I also cherish a Pagan necklace I’ve had for over 15 years, and I wear nearly daily. Each piece holds deep meaning for me and is one of the easiest ways I stay connected to my spiritual practice.
Incorporate Meaningful Artwork
Surround yourself with art that resonates with you. Whether it’s a devotional piece for one of your deities or an art print that holds special meaning, having something visually inspiring in your workspace can be a subtle yet powerful way to stay connected. For instance, my best friend has a fox print near her desk as it represents her animal guide.
Infuse Your Food with Devotion
Your lunch break can double as a devotional moment. Consider creating Wheel of the Year snacks or other spiritually significant foods to enjoy. And who doesn’t love a good snack at the office? Sharing some with your coworkers might even spread a little magic in the most unexpected places!
I hope these practices help you maintain that sacred connection even in the midst of your workday hustle. I’d love to hear what you do daily to stay spiritually aligned—let’s share our tips and keep each other inspired!
