The Soft Ritual

This month’s practice is simple, sensual, and deeply feminine.
A way to fall in love with life again using only scent, touch, and breath.

You can do this every morning, seated at your vanity or in front of a mirror.
It doesn’t need to be complicated. It only needs to be felt.

The Ritual

1. Prepare your scent.
Choose a perfume, oil, or cream that delights you. Something you love.

2. Get still.
Sit comfortably, and place one hand on your heart.

3. Let scent awaken you.
Bring your chosen scent to your nose and inhale gently.
Notice the feelings, memories or images it stirs.

4. Activate the thighs.
With each inhale, gently press your thighs together, softly, like you’re holding something precious.
On the exhale, soften and melt. Do this three times, slowly.

5. Apply the scent slowly.
Behind the ears, at the wrists, at the throat, and the hollow between your breasts.
Let this feel like self-anointment, not grooming.

6. Ask yourself:
“What would help me fall in love with life again, just for today?”

Let the answer rise from your body, not your mind. Then follow it.
