In a world that moves faster than our breath, true balance becomes an act of devotion. Balance is not found; it is created. It is shaped through intention, ritual, and the way we choose to honour our inner worlds just as much as our outer responsibilities. As a shamanic practitioner, astrologer, and artist, I see balance not as a fragile state, but as a living relationship between the body, the mind, and the spirit.
Below are the practices I use and offer to others on their own path toward grounded success and inner stability.
The Three Worlds Alignment
Shamanic teachings remind us that we move through three realms: the Lower World (body), the Middle World (mind), and the Upper World (spirit).
To live in balance, all three must be acknowledged.
Take a moment each morning to check in:
-
How does my body feel today?
-
What thoughts need clearing or redirecting?
-
What intention does my spirit wish to guide me with?
This alignment becomes your internal compass for the day.
Energetic Decording and Release
Throughout the day, our energy intertwines with people, tasks, expectations, and even digital spaces.
When we don’t release these attachments, they drain our vitality.
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine cutting cords from your solar plexus, heart, and throat.
Release everything that is not yours.
Call your energy back home.
This simple ritual protects your personal power.
Journeying Through Rhythm and Breath
Balance requires connection with your inner world. You can access this through rhythmic drumming or slow, intentional breathing.
Allow yourself to journey inward with the question:
“What energy am I holding that does not belong to me?”
Let your subconscious reveal the answer.
This practice brings clarity, insight, and emotional equilibrium.
Power Retrieval: Calling Yourself Back
We scatter pieces of ourselves into stressful conversations, old memories, unresolved responsibilities, and emotional clutter.
Visualise gathering these lost fragments of your energy.
Invite back the part of you that carries strength, vision, and confidence.
This is how you restore your inner authority.
Nature Grounding Rituals
The Earth regulates our nervous system. Touching the ground, placing your palm on a tree, or walking barefoot awakens this connection.
Whisper the intention:
“I release what does not serve me.
I receive what restores me.”
Nature always answers.
Fire Bowl Transformation Ritual
For accumulated stress, write down everything you want to release and burn it safely. Allow the smoke to lift your burdens and return your mind to clarity.
Fire transforms.
You simply participate in the alchemy.
Ritualised Work Boundaries
Balance requires sacred structure.
Begin your work day by lighting a candle.
End it by extinguishing it.
This simple ritual trains your energy to enter and exit work with intention, preventing emotional overflow and burnout.
Spiritual Hygiene for Emotional Reset
Clear your field regularly through:
-
Smoke cleansing
-
Sound cleansing
-
Salt baths
-
Breathwork
Your energy deserves care just as much as your physical body does.
Soul-Aligned Prioritising
Ask yourself:
“Does this choice expand me or drain me?”
Let your body answer before your mind does.
This is shamanic decision-making: intuitive, grounded, and self-honouring.
Wisdom of the Ancestors
In moments of confusion, call upon the wisdom carried in your lineage.
Light a candle, sit in stillness, and ask:
“What must I remember today?”
Your ancestors respond through intuition, symbols, and sudden clarity.
Final Reflection
Balance is not a destination; it is a rhythm.
A dance between the seen and unseen.
A conversation between who you are and who you are becoming.
When you commit to these practices, you reclaim your energy, strengthen your boundaries, and open space for abundance to flow into both your work and your life.
