What are some ways to call on ease in these trying times?
1. Think of 3 ways you’re putting internal pressure on yourself and write them down.
2. Then pick an element that you’d like to transmute these things with for a sweet ass release ritual:⠀
Air: Stand in front of a fan and visualize the air blowing off the pressure. Simultaneously, keep breathing it all out with those long, audible sighs OR get in the car and go for a long drive with the windows down. Feel the breeze on your skin, the wind in your hair, and your tension blowing away.
Earth: Go outside and lay on the grass, roll in the dirt, walk barefoot on the earth and imagine all the f***s draining out through your feet for composting by Mother Earth. Also, just spend extra time outdoors. Do your zoom calls on the patio, make your kids go outside, take a walk near the trees and breathe in their energy. Repeat to yourself, “I am safe.”
Water: Take lots of long showers with your fave scrubs and pronounce this shower as sacred. This is self-baptism by shower, ya’ll! Mindfully feel the water cleansing your body and washing away the tension, restoring you with ease and flow. Another option is taking a bath with Epsom salts, or if you can go to a pool and have some space to yourself, float in the water and imagine you are in a womb, flowing and growing…
Fire: If you’re needing the fire in your belly to make this release happen, or have too much backed up energy to sit still, try boxing, punching a pillow, sprinting, kicking something, crushing cans, throwing plates. Whatever will help you release anger and tension and get your heart pumping until you’re out of breath. Then, take a moment to regroup. When you’re ready, go burn your list of things you’re letting go of. Burn it down and then do a little dance!⠀
