In the depths of our being lies the seat of your power, often untapped, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.

The Core of Power ritual is a practice designed to connect you with your inner strength, enabling you to stand in your power with confidence and grace.

What You'll Need:

• A red candle for vitality and courage.
• A black candle for grounding and protection.
• A small mirror for self-reflection.
• A selection of stones or crystals such as garnet for passion, onyx for strength, and quartz for clarity (or whatever you have available).
• A comfortable, quiet space where you can be reflective.
• A piece of cloth or ribbon.
• A journal and a pen for insights and affirmations.

 

Ritual Steps

1. Setting Your Sacred Space
Arrange your ritual area by placing the red and black candles side by side on a stable surface.

Position the mirror so that you can see yourself when seated.

Surround the candles with the chosen stones or crystals.

 

2. Candle Lighting for Inner Illumination
Begin by lighting the red candle to invoke your inner vitality and courage.

Then, light the black candle to anchor your energy and protect your space.

As you light each candle, focus on the flame and feel its energy magnifying your intention to connect with your inner power.

 

3. Mirror Meditation
Sit comfortably in front of the mirror.

Look into your own eyes, beyond the surface, reaching into the depths of your spirit.

Allow yourself to truly see the power that resides within you, acknowledging your strength, resilience, and potential.

 

4. Crystal and Cloth Connection
Hold each crystal in your hand, feeling its energy.

Wrap the crystals in the cloth or ribbon as you state your intentions aloud, such as:

"I am strong, I am capable, I embrace my power."

This act symbolises wrapping yourself in the strength of your convictions and intentions.

 

5. Journal of Power
In your journal, write down moments when you felt powerful and times when you wish you had tapped into your inner strength more.

Reflect on these moments and write affirmations that reinforce your capability and power, such as:

"I trust in my abilities," or "I confidently stand in my power."

 

6. Affirmation Assertion
Read your affirmations aloud while looking into the mirror.

Speak with conviction and believe in the words you say.

Visualise each affirmation as a solid foundation upon which your inner strength builds and expands.

 

7. Gratitude and Grounding
Express gratitude for your inner power and for the journey that has led you to this point of recognition.

Feel a deep sense of grounding, as if the energy from the black candle is anchoring your power firmly within you.

 

8. Closing the Ritual
When you feel ready, gently extinguish the candles, symbolising the internalisation of their energy.

Store the wrapped crystals in a safe place where you can see them daily as a reminder of your ritual and your inherent strength.

 

9. Ongoing Empowerment
Regularly revisit your journal to add new insights and to remind yourself of your inner power.

Whenever you need a boost of confidence, unwrap the crystals, hold them, and repeat your affirmations.

 

The Core of Power ritual is a transformative experience that invites you to continuously explore and embrace the profound strength that lies within you.

By acknowledging and nurturing your inner power, you prepare yourself to meet life’s challenges with courage and resilience, fully empowered.
