A ritual I love: To wake up early in the morning when the house is quiet and dark, and crawl my way into my altar to light a candle and incense offering, then go into a prayer meditation, followed by a yoga sadhana. To end that morning ritual, I make myself chai and organize my brain around the tasks of the day.
