What You Need for a Ritual Dance Session
Item | Purpose |
---|---|
Music or rhythm (drums, playlist, voice) | Sets the tone and frequency |

Step-by-Step: Ritual Dancing & Movement for Embodiment
Step One: Set the Space
Light your candle. Set your intention. Place your hand over your heart and say:
โThis dance is for my truth. This motion is for my becoming.โ
Step Two: Ground Through Breath and Stillness
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Breathe in through your nose, exhale through your mouth. Feel your weight drop into the earth.
Step Three: Begin Movement with Intuition
Let your body initiate the movement. You might:
-
Sway your hips to embody softness
-
Stretch your arms in a claiming gesture
-
Stomp your feet to awaken grounded power
-
Shake tension out of your shoulders or jaw
-
Circle your hands over your chest, belly, or face in reverence
Step Four: Call in Gender Energy
Name the energy youโre invoking as you move.
โI welcome feminine grace into my hips.โ
โI root my masculine power into my spine.โ
โI allow my fluid self to ripple through my fingers.โ
Let each movement be a spell.
Step Five: Speak or Chant as You Move
If comfortable, vocalize:
-
Your name
-
Your pronouns
-
Your affirmation of embodiment
-
Mantras like โI am whole,โ โI rise,โ or โThis is meโ
This activates voice and body alignment.
Step Six: Close and Integrate
Slow down. Come to stillness. Place hands on your bodyโwherever you feel awakened. Say:
โI am here. I am home in this body.โ
Blow out the candle. Sit or lie down and rest in your truth.
