  • 15 min
  • Grounding
This ritual invites you into a quiet inner space, where the noise of the day softens and your breath steadies. It’s a moment to step gently into your own presence and feel the ground beneath your awareness. Let this space be a reminder that calm is something you can return to—not something you must chase.

You will need

Required
  • Candle

    Any simple candle or LED.

  • Water or tea

    Plain water or tea in a cup.

Optional
  • Small offering

    Bread grain or another biodegradable gift if available.

Ritual Steps

  1. Arrive and breathe

    Take three slow breaths and mentally repeat I arrive I release I root.

  2. Kindle the grove

    Light a candle and say that you kindle this light in honor of land sea and sky.

  3. Honor the three realms

    Acknowledge land sea and sky with simple words and gestures.

  4. State intention

    Say in a clear sentence why you are here and what you seek.

  5. Quiet listening

    Sit in silence for several minutes simply breathing and listening.

  6. Close and return

    Thank the presences you invited and extinguish the candle.

Closing / Release

As you rise from this quiet space, let the steadiness you found travel with you. Even a small sense of grounded presence can shift the shape of your day. Let this grounded presence stay with you as you move through the rest of your day, offering you a place to return whenever life feels unsteady.

Prompt: What does your energy feel like compared to when you began?
