Seeking Spiritual Rituals

Hey everybody, before you flame me about posting in the wrong area(some can argue). I wanted to hit a wider audience.
I'm looking for spiritual rituals, or a place where I can find some. I know that's a very vague question, but what I am specifically looking for is a ritual for spiritual healing and forgiveness.
Any help you guys can offer, would be greatly appreciated...

spiritual rituals depend a good deal on location. like desert rituals and jungle rituals. you should really be practicing the practice of your land

I have been misunderstood. I am looking for informal spiritual rituals, at this point just looking for text/guides on spiritual healing. Like saying a chant before meditation. I plan on performing this ritual before a psychedelic experience, and also a few weeks before, sober.
I know they are out there, just don't know where to look. Spiritual healing.

i suggest looking into tia chi it will help and learning to flow your chi, when tripping i find preception of chi is increased as well. As for chanting i do my personal chant that i grasp from the outside my chants depend on the day. like the one i sang a year ago is alot differnt then the one i use now. I doing my chant i take in mapacho, once it hits and im overwhelmed i just reach inside and pull out a chant and go with

Why don't you create one? You won't find your truths in the writings of others.

I agree. Invent one for yourself. Turn a room into a place that has spiritual significance for you and create a ritual based on what you believe and how you relate to the universe.

Wont work unless you follow the guidelines above.
A personally rejuvenating or cleansing ritual or forgiveness ritual is exactly that: PERSONAL.
Unless you are following the path yourself, you become a sheep. If you are one, then Id say look into Zen buddhist rituals or native american practice.

Heres something, probably could adapt it. As His all mighty grouchiness the great Implee would say, SEARCH!!

Internal visulization. Visualize you're the microscopic maintenance man of your body taking the elevator inside yourself to various levels and inspecting the different organs inside your body.

All the successful spiritual rituals I have done resulted in something I won't try to convey, and probably can't convey...much like the idea of a 95 degree right angle in basic geometry.
They are experiences that have helped define myself, and others, and best remain locked up in the open pasture of my soul and mind. They are my unspoken tools.

also one must point out every area as i said has its own way in a sense you could say its making it up but for thigns to work effectivly you have to follow the universal rules of where you are. rituals form the way they are as a result of the universal laws

I'm glad to see so many responses, thanks guys!
Well, making my own spiritual ritual sounds cool and I definitely think I am up to task. However, this is for both my girlfriend and I-and am not sure how I would make a universal chant for both of us because I do not feel we are the same.
And she wouldn't have a clue where to start in making her own chant. She's not good at putting her thoughts into words.
I really do appreciate all the advice though, and may go about making my own ritual. As mentioned, it will add spiritual significance to my life and to my home if -I am the one who created it-.

BTW, rituals only work if you believe in them.

Isn't that the same with being optimistic, you can only be optimistic if you believe in success?

Spiritual Healing, you say?
Sorry, it had to be said. While we're kind of on the topic, does anyone have any good links to Tai Chi videos or other resources?

i might want to point this out cause alot of people dont take this into consideration if your gona practice tia chi you really need to be able to feel the chi going thru the motions is useless unless you can feel it. aka you ball of energy, psi ball, what ever you kids are calling it these days. learning to feel that is simple i love teaching people cause they are all like oh shit this is more then just my imagination
