The Hearthwick Hollow© Soothe & Steady Ritual
Time needed: 3 – 5 minutes Tools: A candle (any color), a small bowl of salt, and a comforting scent (herb, oil, or tea), or all three.

 

Step 1 – Light & Anchor
Sit somewhere you feel safe.

Place your candle in front of you and light it slowly, saying softly: “Here is my hearth, here is my light. I am safe in this moment.”

Let your eyes rest on the flame for a few breaths.

Step 2 –  Salt for Stability
Place your fingertips in the bowl of salt.

Imagine the salt drawing out the heaviness, the fear, the tightness in your chest.

Whisper: “What does not serve me, I release. What I need, I keep.”

Step 3 – Breathe in Comfort
Bring your chosen scent close – inhale slowly, exhale longer than you inhale.

With each breath, imagine the scent wrapping around you like a warm blanket.

If you’re using tea, take a small sip and feel the warmth travel through you.

Step 4 – Close with a Hearth Blessing
Cup your hands near the candle flame (not too close) and say: “The hearth within me is steady. The flame within me is strong. I carry this light forward.”

Extinguish the candle gently, imagining the flame moving into your heart.

I hope this will help,
