I've noticed something about the way we talk about self-care.
We give people more and more tools — and then give them another job:
𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱.
Ground yourself. Do breathwork. Meditate. Rest. Move. Journal.
All useful.
But knowing a practice exists and knowing what your body is asking for in a particular moment aren't quite the same thing.
That's been sitting underneath so many of the decisions I'm making as I build the Regulation Ritual.
I want there to be guidance before there needs to be choice.
A way to experience grounding, breath, Yoga Nidra and integration as an intentional journey — and enough space to begin noticing what each one feels like 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.
Because eventually, I do want you to choose.
Once you've spent time with the practices, you might know: today I want the breath practice. Tonight I want Yoga Nidra. This weekend I want to move through the whole ritual slowly and make a little home retreat of it.
At that point, the Regulation Ritual becomes something different.
Not just something I guide you through.
𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼.
That's important to me.
My role isn't to tell you what your body needs better than you can. I can create the structure. Guide your attention. Use my voice and sound intentionally. Give you somewhere to begin.
But the deeper purpose is to help you rebuild the relationship in which 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆.
That's why I've been thinking of the Regulation Ritual this way:
𝗔 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.
𝗔 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆.
I wrote much more about why I'm building it this way on the blog this week.
And the Regulation Ritual waitlist is open now — link in bio. 🤍
I'm curious: when you open an app or library full of practices, do all those choices feel useful — or do you sometimes find yourself wondering which one you're actually supposed to choose?
