My partner and I started stargazing together as our shared spiritual practice three years ago and it felt sacred and connecting, but now it's become this thing where one of us always suggests it when we're fighting and the other person feels manipulated. We both still love it but we've somehow turned our most meaningful ritual into a band-aid and neither of us knows how to get back to the pure intention we started with.
More people experience this than they realize.
Sacred rituals can become weaponized when we unconsciously use them to avoid rather than engage with conflict.
