Sacred Rituals: Weekly Ayurvedic Rituals & Reflections to Ground and Renew
Woman over 40 exploring these sacred rituals.
Welcome to Sacred Rituals, a space to return, reflect, and realign with nature’s rhythm.
Each month, I share a simple Ayurvedic ritual, a small act of devotion to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most.
These are not elaborate routines, but gentle practices that restore balance and awareness through the changing seasons.
Come here whenever you need to slow down, reset your mind, or remember the wisdom of your body.
Bookmark this page and return throughout the month as your relationship with each ritual deepens.
These monthly Sacred Rituals will be archived on this page for easy access whenever you need them.

December Sacred Ritual: Grounding Breath
A Month of Settling, Softening & Returning to Yourself
Overview for Nasya
December often pulls our energy outward into busyness, emotion, and decision-making.
This month’s Sacred Ritual brings you back home.
Grounding Breath is one of Ayurveda’s gentlest remedies for Vata imbalance: it warms, steadies, and signals to the mind that you are safe to soften.
Each week we’ll build a little deeper, helping you feel more rooted as winter progresses.

Week 1 — The Soft Landing:
Meeting Your Breath
This week is about arriving, not forcing anything, not fixing anything, simply meeting your breath as it is.
Consider this a soft landing into December.
Your Ritual
-
Sit comfortably and place one hand on your belly and one on your heart.
-
Take a slow inhale through your nose.
-
Exhale gently, letting your shoulders drop.
-
Repeat for 5 rounds
This simple practice begins to warm the body, quiet the mind, and settle Vata’s upward, swirling movement.
Come Back Next Week
We’ll deepen this practice by exploring a longer, stabilizing exhale that gently soothes the nervous system.
