Get Ready….

• Gather your Stones: Citrine, garnet, carnelian, clear quartz. Any one or combination.
• Choose your Oils:  Citrus/orange, Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary.
• Yoga Props: Yoga bolster or large/long pillow. Pillow to sit on if desired.
• Set up your Space: There is an option to perform this ritual outside if you have access to a yard or park, drawing on the sunshine to help uplift the mood. If working inside set up a safe space for your ritual, if using an altar, set up any inspirational photos, quotes or elements you like. Candle may be used with caution to incorporate fire element.

 
Ritual:

• Remember, you can make these rituals as short or as long as you’d like-take what you need to regain balance!
• You may anoint yourself with your oils or set in a diffuser nearby.
• Find a comfortable seat, or lie down (remember NO candles if we may fall asleep!).
• Your stone/earth element can be held in your hands, placed somewhere on your body or set nearby.
• Give yourself 3 deep, cleansing breaths.
• Follow the mindfulness of breathing meditation.
• Set a Mantra/Intention for practice. Repeat to yourself 3 times.
• Clasp your hands in front of your Solar Plexus Chakra, stay relaxed and envision a small flame or flicker in this area. Begin to fuel this fire with your breath in and out. See that flame grow bigger & brighter with each breath.
• You may offer yourself the Manipura and/or the Gratitude meditation.
• Give yourself the time you need in this space, when you are ready you can begin a short, light yoga flow.
  • Begin with a seated twist, allowing for tension to release.
  • Settle into Sphinx (Salamba Bhujangasana), honoring the low back. A bolster may be used to support the chest. If you edge allows, press up into Seal for 3 breaths & lower.
  • Slowly release and sink into Child’s Pose (Balasana). Allow the earth to support you and find solace in your breath as the lower back releases.
  • Half Lord of the Fishes Pose (Ardha Matsyendrasana), allow for a final wringing out of remaining tention.
  • Reclined Bound Angle (Supta Bada Konasana) with bolster, take time to rest and connect and open to your open heart
  • Corpse (Savasana)-allow yourself to surrender and allow that flame to burn bright with your breath, filling you with confidence and personal power.
  • Slowly sit up, offering yourself a final cleansing breath to release your practice. Return yourself to the world uplifted and confident to take on any challenge you face!
