Proof of Living: Keep A Record of Your Process

(This post is part of the preparation series for the 13 Day Ancestral Animism Practice, but can apply to pretty much any endeavor and is part of my central teaching-learning philosophy.)



One final practice rule:

Keep a record of your process.

This rule has roots in self-compassion and a desire to make visible both the wending path of spiritual practice and our efforts.


Records can look like anything at all! You may choose to take photos of your practice to share, or to draw your practice, or to mark your work in some other way.


I double up with "ritualizing the routine" and "recording my process" because I write as my daily practice, so have a process record built into my routine.


Keeping a process record is wonderful for seeing the journey we are on, making visible the wyrd threads and patterns that show up in our lives, and help us be more responsive in the reciprocal listening relationship ancestral animism keeps at its root.


By this and every effort may the balance be regained.
