Welcome,
I'm Joanne,
And this is your sacred pause,
A moment to slow down,
Breathe deeply,
And enter the space of ritual.
And today's ritual is a morning one,
To do as the sun comes up,
Or just when you wake up.
Now it's nice to have a crystal beside you when you're doing this one,
A labradorite is perfect,
And this is a stone of new beginnings,
Transformation,
And intuitive awakening.
It reminds you that each day is a doorway into possibility,
And you can hold it in your hand for a moment and whisper.
I welcome the magic of this new chapter.
We can also have a tea if you want,
And lemon balm is fabulous,
Or you can just have the herb itself,
But it's soothing,
It's heart-opening,
And it's joy-bringing.
Lemon balm helps you step into the day with calm vitality.
If you have some,
Sip as a tea,
Or simply imagine its golden green essence filling you.
So let's sit comfortably,
Close our eyes,
And inhale through your nose,
And exhale softly through your mouth.
Now let's do this a couple more times,
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth,
And imagine each breath sweeping away old dust and making room for light.
And one more time,
In through your nose,
Out through your mouth.
Now,
Visualize yourself walking into a forest clearing at dawn.
The air is cool,
The grass damp with dew,
The sun filters through branches,
Birds sing,
A gentle stream flows by,
And feel your body soften into this scene.
Now hold your crystal,
Or just imagine one on your palm.
See it glowing with shifting blues and greens like the northern lights.
And whisper to yourself inside,
I trust my path,
I trust my becoming.
And if you have some lemon balm tea,
Sip slowly.
If not,
Visualize holding a steaming cup.
And as you drink,
Imagine golden green light flowing through your body,
Soothing every cell,
Bringing joy and lightness.
Now if you have your journal,
Let's open it and write together.
And you can start with a prompt as what is opening for me in this new chapter.
Let your words flow,
Images,
Feelings,
Hopes,
Even fragments.
No editing,
Just release.
Now you can continue writing in your journal if you wish,
But if you've finished,
You can place your hand on your heart and repeat.
I step into this day renewed,
Supported,
And open to wonder.
Our ritual is complete,
But its energy stays with you.
Move forward with your day in gentleness,
Balance,
And peace.
Namaste.
