The Middle Pillar Ritual
A preview into the reflections of devotion and discipline with an audio to practice the Middle Pillar Ritual for energy circulation.
Last year, devotion and discipline were the themes that felt most alive in my life. They became the root of my practices—how I learned to live more embodied, to listen more deeply to my physical and energetic body. That theme continues. It feels like once the door opens to spiritual discipline as a true commitment—a vow to self, to the path—there is no going back.
Over time, I’ve had to strip away the old connotations of what discipline means and lean instead into the felt sense of devotion.
I’ve come to understand that practices with technique are not about getting them perfect, but about the discipline of tending—to the body, the mind, the heart. It’s the act of showing up again and again, even as the experience changes. There is something sacred in repetition, and how repetition slowly creates new pathways within us.
In this audio, I’m sharing The Middle Pillar Ritual—one of the practices I committed to all of last year. It is rooted in Hermetic Qabalah, one of the paths that opened me into my spiritual practice many moons ago.
Just as blood circulates through the body, energy circulates as well. This practice supports the circulation of that energy throughout the whole system, while balancing the nervous system and awakening the inner axis—the central channel, the seat of awareness.
In the next post, we’ll return to devotion, discipline, commitment, and the vow.
For now, consider this an invitation to simply explore how these words land for you.
As you read them—what stirs in the body?
What does the mind perceive?
In devotion,
