Rituals for Sound when you’re autistic

Rituals for Hearing for Autistic Women

In the bathroom:

The sound of running water might be hurting your ears – or, alternatively, you (or your child) might absolutely love it and flood the bathroom! They or you might also be upset by the sound of an electric razor.

Hairdryers can be problematic too.

Solutions:

Have someone else run a bath for you.
Use noise-cancelling headphones if you need to run the bath yourself
Experiment with scissors or safety razors instead of electrical ones if you need or want to shave. If shaving is too difficult, moisturise your legs with body cream every day, it will make your leg hair softer overtime too.

Hair rituals when you can’t use a hairdryer

Naturally Thinking hair shots are incredible and work! Put on your scalp and then leave in for a long while before washing out for lush locks.

If you’d prefer a leave in hair conditioner - then I recommend after you have towel dried your hair, add a hair mask that does not need to be washed out until the next day:

Featuring a delicious blend of Community Trade natural-origin ingredients, including organic banana puree from Ecuador and Brazil nut oil from Peru. Enriched with Brazilian cupuaçu, this 100% vegan, once-a-week treatment leaves hair feeling intensely nourished from root-to-tip. Locks look less frizzy and instantly shinier, all without weighing them down.

Finally, sound is very personal from person to person but rituals that are really wonderful and uplifting are Mantras.

The Science of Mantras and Affirmations

When the pineal gland radiates, it creates a pulse in the pituitary gland, causing the release of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin signals the brain coming into balance, and we have the means to achieve a level of consciousness necessary to manifest our desires.

The meridian points strike into a sequence or a code each time you chant or speak a mantra initiating a chemical response in the brain and body that opens pathways and permits access to higher consciousness.

Unlike affirmations such as “I am good enough” or “I am at one with the universe” or “I am joy”, a mantra is a means of directing the healing power of Prana (life-force) to energise and activate our spirituality so that we can fulfil our life purpose. The carefully chosen words of a mantra enable us to invoke the positive power inherent in the syllables.

Chanting or speaking these words, we now have the power to set vibrations into motion to create a positive effect.

The songs of Ayla Nereo are very much like Mantras. I use her music a lot in Magical Women’s Magical Journey’s workshops.

Chant the words out loud and hear your energy full vibrate and transform your whole being!

Wild Burn

Once you free your sight
once you be for life

We are…

When I dream, I dream in white, of
bells and birdcage, boat dock sun and the
cargo spice of what's to come
like the images come one after one

But this time, it was night
the moon it lilted brightways sharp and the
words to sleeping drifters dance as
though to fall from page alive…

When the
light fell down was a wild burn
like the night said, it could be learned
with the journey you took a chance
to forget when you start the dance…

Did the hairs on the neck of time
stand straight with me speaking their name
and the pride that can make us blind
does it simply fear being shamed
oh the branch, is it known by seed
how it comes to be… and
do the blooms know their righteous power
the beauty of being Seen

Oh the pride that can make us blind!
does it simply fear being shamed
and the tide in it’s ever-pulling
would naught but by breathing be tamed
oh the thought is it known by speech
how it comes to be…
and do the coloured blooms know their righteous power
the beauty of being Seen…

When I dream I dream in flight
the swells and stills of all that’s come and the
setting forth our kindred sum
a point in a constellation

When the light fell down was a wild burn
your mission forming with every turn
to assemble and piece it whole
to remember this dance we woke

The beauty of being Seen…
