You will need
- Only yourself. Bare feet on earth, grass or floor if possible.
How to
- Stand with feet hip width apart. Close your eyes.
- Imagine roots growing from your soles down into the earth, deeper and deeper with every breath.
- Feel that the earth carries you, she has carried women before you for thousands of years.
- Say the words inside yourself.
- Stay standing until you feel the weight in your feet more clearly than the thoughts in your head. That is enough. That is the whole ritual.
I stand. I am carried. I am here.
