Don't take our word for anything. We've tried to stay away from dogma or belief systems, so you can be free to assign your own meaning and purpose to your numen.
Find inspiration and make it your own. The numen can be an effective tool, when you truly make it yours.
Initiation
Make some kind of a ritual where you inhabit the numen. Assign a meaning or purpose to it that resonates with and empowers your path.
Why Practice:
"Under pressure, we don't rise to the occasion, we sink to the level of our training" the proverb goes.
In fact we practice all the time anyway, so why not choose to practice deliberately. Stepping into the version of ourselfes that we are about to become NOW.
Tactility
All evidence shows that the more of our senses we get engaged in transformation, that more likely we are to succeed. Embodiment. So use the tactility of the numen in what ever practice you are doing. Assign meanings to your particular way of touching and sensing it. That will leave an imprint in your nervous system. Then repeat. Just like learning to play an instrument.
Wonder / Ask
Let your fingers explore the shape of the numen. Let them wonder around by them selves to engage your body intelligence and maybe it leads to new insights. Ask for guidance to whatever you are facing at the moment.
Guiding question
Another way is to formulate a question that opens in the direction you wish to shed light. If you need inspiration, then look around on this website. Use the question for a while. Sit with it as in Zen or walk with it in nature as the native Indians did.
Morning
Make a small ritual. Use a micro practice from this page or make your own. Maybe set an intentions for the day.
During the day
Do a micro practice before or in situation where you get a little challenged, or simple want to handle with more skill. Check in with your intention.
Evening
Reflect on the day and your intentions. Let the ring recharge over night in a good place.
Ceremonies
Bring it and use it. Place it on the Alter. Let others bless it or engage with it. Use it as an anchor to bring back insights and help you integrate them in your lived life.
In groups
Pass it around as a "talking ring". Use it to start a conversation where truth and sincere engagement is important. Frame it in a way that inspires the group and invites each person to show up with both dignity and humility.
Recycle
If you don't use it, pass it on to somebody who might, please. The numen wants to be used, and some in your community could benefit from it.
