The Art of Deep Rest: A Chakra Ritual for Moms Before the Back-to-School Rush

“She holds everything together. But who holds her?”
This ritual is for the woman who needs a moment before the rush.

Backpacks Are Packed, But Your Body’s Not Ready

There’s a certain tension in the air as August 15th approaches. Not just the shifting light or cooler evenings—but the collective buzz of what’s to come.

The back-to-school routine begins to stir, and while we’re laying out clothes, checking supply lists, and filling lunchboxes, something in us is bracing.

Mothers feel it first.
In the belly.
In the breath.
In the beat between tasks.

And often, we skip the one thing that could change it all:
A sacred pause to restore our own energy.

Why Deep Rest Is Essential Now

Before your children start a new rhythm—you must return to yours.
Burnout doesn’t ask for permission. It builds silently, especially for those who nurture everyone else.

This is a reminder: You are not a machine.
And your body deserves care that isn’t just functional—but sacred.

This short chakra ritual is designed for mothers, caregivers, nurturers—especially those who feel the rising tide of stress and need to reclaim just ten minutes of deep, intentional rest.

The Three Chakras That Need You Most

This ritual focuses on restoring the energy centers that get depleted in maternal life:

🌿 Root Chakra (Safety, stability, grounding)
☀️ Solar Plexus Chakra (Boundaries, identity, strength)
💗 Heart Chakra (Compassion, giving and receiving love)

 

A 10-Minute Chakra Reset with the Selenite Sword

You don’t need an hour. You just need presence.
You don’t need perfection. Just permission.

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

• A Selenite Sword (or your favorite energy-clearing tool)
  
• A cozy blanket or sacred space to sit or lie down
  
• Optional: calming essential oil or flower essence
  

Step-by-Step: The Ritual

1. GROUND — (Root Chakra, 2 mins)

Sit with your feet flat or lie down with knees bent.
Imagine a tap root from your tailbone extending into the ground beneath you and connecting with mother earth. 

Breathe deeply. 

Begin to swirl the sword counter-clockwise to remove and release all that prevents you from safety, stability and feeling grounded. 

Imagine sending this release down your root into mother earth to be composted and recycled into healthy new energy. 

When you feel you have released everything, begin to swirl the sword clockwise to add in the energy you want. Allow the earth energy to travel up your root into your root chakra and provide you with the safety, support and stability you are seeking. 

2. EMPOWER — (Solar Plexus, 3 mins)

Moving to your Solar Plexus. This is where our “doing” energy lives, and often where overwhelm hides.
Move the sword to your belly, just above the navel. Point the tip into your body in a point hold. 

Begin to breath deeply. With each inhale, draw in strength.
With each exhale, release pressure to be everything for everyone.

Allow the energy of the sword to flow into your solar plexus igniting your fire and burning away any self-doubt, helplessness and tension. 

Say:
“I release what is not mine. I honor my own fire.”

3. RECEIVE — (Heart Chakra, 3 mins)

Moving to the heart space. The seat of love.
Hold the sword to your chest above your heart.
Close your eyes and feel love radiate out from your heart through your entire body. Allow it to slowly spread touching every cell in your body.

Say:
“I allow love to guide me, I allow myself to receive love. ”

Breathe deeply. Let softness fill the space where stress once sat.
 This is your sacred tending.

Seal the Ritual (2 mins)

Swirl the sword around your entire body from head to toe strengthening your auric shield and increasing the amount of divine light within your field. Seal in the shifts to your energy and allow yourself a minute to bask in the soft changes. 

End with a whisper of gratitude to mother earth, to your sword and to yourself. 

A Tool for the Tired, Tender, and True

Your Selenite Sword isn’t just for release—it’s for remembrance.
It holds the power to recalibrate, gently and deeply, when life feels full beyond measure.

Rooted in sacred materials—selenite, copper, crystals, flower essences—each sword becomes a mother’s ally in moments when rest must be both quick and real.

Because sometimes ten minutes with intention is worth more than a whole hour lost to exhaustion.

You give and give.
But today, may you also receive.

Receive stillness.
Receive grounding.
Receive your own light, returned to you.

Because your rest is not optional.
It’s the foundation of everything you hold together.

With gratitude for your sacred work,
