11. Night: Your Purpose
Imagine you would die tomorrow, look back at your life as of now and ask yourself: what would you tell your friends and family about the importance of life?
THE ELEVENTH NIGHT
What do you love about yourself?
Give yourself a speech of gratitude and acknowledgment for what you have created in your life up until now!
Imagine you would die tomorrow, look back at your life as of now and ask yourself: what would you tell your friends and family about the importance of life?
What was your read thread? Your purpose?
You can also imagine being 100 years old and ask yourself the same questions. Are there different answers? Note them down and let them be your guide going forward!

This post and my daily ritual guidance is public and free for everyone. Please help me to spread the word and share this post or my email newsletter with your friends and family to participate in the sacred nights together and make this the most meaningful New Years beginning yet.
I will be your ritual guide throughout the 12 sacred nights with short and sweet daily practices, specific questions to guide you through personal introspection and suggestions for herbs and maybe a song here and there. To open your perception about what’s happened in the old year and what’s to come in the new and how to embrace the present.
Each night has a different flavour, and energetic imprint and topic to reflect back on. You can take 5 minutes to an hour depending on your circumstances, alone or in company. Its a wonderful way to reflect with your family and engage in deep conversation with your partner or friends.
These emails will be sent in the evening before the specific night of dreaming, so that you have the theme and practices throughout the following day, no matter if you choose to perform your ritual in the morning or evening. You don´t need to start on a specific date, it is the daily devotion that counts.
Don´t worry if you dont find the time to open each email, simply read the title for daily themes and ponder those throughout you day or use as a dream intention before going to sleep.

May this time of introspection bring you insights and magical dreams.
Very important: TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF!
You can start the sacred nights whenever it suits you and you don't have to doggedly try to do a ritual every day! However, I do recommend that you take at least 5 minutes every day to connect with yourself - especially during family vacations. Not only will it benefit your stress regulation and create space for magic, but it's also a gift to those around you if you are a calm presence and lead by example to celebrate this season of love and togetherness.

You can also use the 12 sacred nights (and days) to indulge in your very own cacao dieta or immersion. As this is a time for dreaming and divination and ceremonial cacao is the perfect plant ally for both: lucid dreaming and creative envisioning.
You can add my daily input to your already existing spiritual practice or to create a new routine and connect deeper with the sacred plant Theobroma Cacao, its spirit and yourself.
