Healing Movement with Ava

There is a quiet power in ritual. A power that does not demand, but invites.
A power that does not fix, but nurtures.

The body — when overwhelmed — craves simplicity. It seeks familiar gestures, the rhythm of a quiet return.
These small acts, these rituals, are an offering to the body. An invitation to rest, to reconnect, to remember.

Ritual 1: The Breath of Return

When the mind races and the body trembles, all you need is to breathe.
Not to force, but to soften.
Not to control, but to listen.

Sit in stillness. Close your eyes.
Place your hand over your heart and breathe.
Slowly. Gently.
Inhale the quiet strength of the earth beneath you.
Exhale the clutter that swirls in your mind.
Return. One breath at a time.

Ritual 2: The Sacred Pause

The world will not stop.
But you can.

Place your feet on the ground.
Feel the earth beneath you, steady and unwavering.
Pause.
Let your body simply be.
For one minute, allow yourself to simply exist without expectation, without agenda.
In this moment, you are enough.
And the world, for just a moment, can wait.

Ritual 3: The Evening Offering

As the day settles into dusk, so too should your body.
Take a moment to offer a gesture of gratitude for the day.
It may be as simple as lighting a candle.
Or as quiet as placing your hands over your heart and bowing your head.
Allow your body to remember its own stillness.
And in that stillness, offer peace.
