Tools for Your Unfolding

Pause. Sit down. Take a breath.
Then scan these three areas:

• Your thoughts: What’s looping? Where does your mind keep drifting back to?

• Your body: Where feels buzzy, tight, activated, or heavy?

• Your dreams (or daydreams): Has anything been repeating, showing up in strange ways, or trying to tell you something?

You’re not trying to interpret anything yet.
Just notice the noise. That’s it.

Bonus: if it helps you stay present, describe the noise metaphorically—

It feels like a foghorn in the back of my mind.
It’s like a drawer that won’t close all the way.
Like pacing energy in my legs with nowhere to go.

For a few days, keep a tiny log—written, audio, visual, whatever works for you.

Each time something familiar repeats—emotionally, physically, energetically, or symbolically—jot it down.

Here are a few examples of what to look for:

• That same ache in your chest when you try to rest

• The phrase that keeps popping into your head

• A recurring image in your dreams

• A color, song, or smell that keeps showing up

• A body sensation you can’t quite shake

You don’t need to know what it means.
You’re not trying to decode it yet.
You’re just gathering.

Think of it like collecting puzzle pieces without forcing them to fit.
You’ll see the picture when it’s ready.

This isn’t a journaling prompt—it’s a ritual.

Find a quiet space. Place your hands on the part of your body where you’ve felt the most activity or tension lately.
(Doesn’t have to be intense—just the place that’s been most present.)

Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths.
Then speak a simple sentence aloud:

“This is the place where __________ lives.”

Let the word fill in naturally. It might be “urgency,” “grief,” “confusion,” or something more symbolic like “the tightrope” or “the ache to be chosen.”

Don’t overthink it. Whatever comes up first is enough.

Once you’ve named it, sit with it for a minute—hands still resting there.

Feel what shifts.

You can do this on your own—or follow along with the audio version I recorded for you: 👉 Listen to the Clearing Ritual Meditation (unlisted YouTube link. It’s super short—3 minutes or so.)

Settle into a quiet space.Place your hands on the part of your body that feels most activated or tender right now.Close your eyes. Take a few slow breaths.

Then picture yourself clearing space around that feeling:

• Like sweeping the floor before guests arrive

• Or like loosening the soil around a seed

• Or opening a window to let some air in

If any resistance or inner protectiveness comes up, you can say to it:

“You’re safe. I’m just making space—nothing is being forced.”

That’s all you’re doing. Making room. No fixing. No figuring out.
