Step 1: Prepare Your Space

• Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.

• Light a single candle to symbolize your inner fire.

• Optional: Have a grounding oil or herbal blend ready (cedar, vetiver, pine, cacao).

• Optional: Prepare an herbal steam with rosemary or cinnamon.

Take a moment to notice your surroundings. Feel the air, the light, and the temperature.

Set the intention: “I am rooting into my body and tending my inner flame.”

Step 2: Earth Touch Ritual (3–5 min)

• Begin seated or standing.

• Place your hands on your feet, your belly, and your heart — wherever you feel your body needs grounding.

• Close your eyes and take three deep breaths, imagining roots growing from your feet into the earth.

• Feel the weight of your body and the support of the ground beneath you.

• Optional: Dab grounding oils on your hands, heart, and soles of your feet, inhaling their aroma.

Visualization cue: Imagine yourself as a tree — strong roots anchoring you, steady and supported.

Step 3: Fire Activation (5–7 min)

• Focus on your candle flame. Breathe slowly.

• Inhale deeply into your belly, drawing energy from the earth.

• Exhale upward, imagining that same energy igniting a warm, gentle flame within your torso.

• Repeat this slow inhale (grounding) / exhale (igniting) pattern 5–7 times.

Sensory cue: Feel the warmth and light of the fire filling your chest, belly, and heart. Allow this flame to illuminate intentions for the month ahead.

Step 4: Optional Herbal Steam (5–10 min)

• If using, pour hot water into a bowl and add rosemary or cinnamon.

• Lean over the steam (careful not to burn yourself) and cover your head with a towel to trap the aroma.

• Breathe deeply, letting the herbal scent connect you to the energy of Earth (grounding) and Fire (invigorating).

Step 5: Integration & Reflection (5 min)

• Sit quietly and notice how your body feels.

• Reflect:

  • What part of me needs grounding this month?

  • What inner flame wants to be nurtured or reignited?

• Optionally, journal your reflections or intentions for the month.

Step 6: Closing Affirmation

Place your hands on your heart and speak aloud or silently:
“I am rooted. I am ready to rise.”

Blow out your candle, imagining the flame continuing to glow within you, carrying Earth and Fire energy into your daily life.
