✨ Ritual: “The Empress’ Cup”
A sensory, grounding ritual for comfort, creativity, and embodied calm.
(5–12 minutes)
You will need
-
A soft light or candle
-
A comfortable seat, pillow, or blanket
-
A drink or scent associated with comfort
-
 A very small, mindful amount of Grape Cream Cake or its aroma
1. Create the Empress Space
Dim the light or light a candle.
Wrap yourself in softness — a blanket, a robe, or even just a calm posture.
Take three slow breaths, each one deeper than the last.
Say quietly:
“I return to my body. I return to comfort.”
2. Sensory Opening
If using cannabis:
-
Take one small, grounding inhale of Grape Cream Cake.
If not: -
Sip your comforting drink or inhale a soothing scent.
Feel your body soften just a little.
Place your hand on your heart or belly and breathe into your palm.
3. The Empress Attunement
Close your eyes and imagine a lush, warm garden surrounding you — flowers, fruit, soft colors, gentle wind.
This is The Empress’ realm.
Ask yourself:
“What do I truly need right now?”
-
Rest?
-
Love?
-
Creative expression?
-
Nourishment?
-
Validation?
-
Pleasure?
Let the answer arise without force.
4. The Receiving Breath
Take five slow breaths, and with each inhale, think:
“I receive.”
With each exhale:
“I release tension.”
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your jaw soften.
Let your breath fall naturally.
5. Seal the Empress’ Blessing
Place both hands over your heart and say:
“I honor my needs. I honor my softness.
I allow abundance to come to me gently.”
Blow out the candle or dim the light when ready.
