Stop Marinating, Start Releasing (Day 10): A Stone Ritual for Letting Go 🌊🪨 (See Description)
Hi angels 🕊️
It's Day 10 of the Unblock Your Life Bootcamp! In today’s session, we work with the theme of release — letting go of stored pain, trauma, or patterns that no longer serve us.
💛 The stone-and-river release practice shown in this video is inspired by traditional First Nations healing practices, where symbolic acts with land and water are used to support emotional and spiritual release. Similar practices also exist across many cultures, including Celtic and Irish traditions connected to sacred wells, rivers, and stones. 🌏
I want to acknowledge that I’m a white Australian of primarily Irish, English, and German ancestry, and I approach this practice with respect, humility, and gratitude for the cultures that have preserved this wisdom.
I pay my respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways on which this video was filmed, and to Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded, we still lack a treaty.
If you’re drawn to explore Aboriginal spiritual frameworks more deeply, I encourage you to support Indigenous creators directly. The Aboriginal Oracle and Aboriginal Shadow Healing cards used in this video were created by Mel Brown, and I’ve linked her work below.
☎️ If this practice brings up difficult emotions or memories, support is available. In Australia, you can contact 13YARN — a free, confidential, culturally safe support line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Lifeline (13 11 14) is also available for anyone needing immediate support. 🤝

Yesterday’s energy felt somewhat rancid (someone draining you / messing with your peace)… so today we’re doing a simple river ritual together: assign a stone to what you’re ready to let go of, pour love into it, say it out loud, and drop it into the water.
This one’s about reflection, stopping the self-pity spiral, and choosing not to marinate in what hurts — without denying what happened.
Themes in today’s reading:
• Reflection + hindsight (what’s worth keeping vs what’s ready to go)
• “You do have to choose not to wallow” (gentle but real)
• Your baseline energy is beautiful — we can return to it
• Building a safe home inside yourself (so the outside noise doesn’t run your life)
• Sacral chakra: creativity, play, inner child wounds, confidence to be wild
• Releasing resentment / bitterness / grief with love (not repression)

Ritual (you can do it with me at the end):
Choose/assign a stone to the person/situation/memory
Hold it while you reflect — say what you need to say
Send love/forgiveness into it (for you, not for them)
Drop it into the river/ocean (or another safe place in nature) and release it

🟡 About this 14-Day Series
This isn’t a boot camp in the traditional sense. You don’t have to:
• Do everything perfectly
• Show up every single day
• Take action immediately
If all you do is watch and listen, that’s enough. Think of this as:
• An energy download
• A nervous system reset
• Clearing the last bits of resistance
• Making action feel exciting instead of heavy again
You can:
• Join late
• Watch out of order
• Come back whenever you find it
This is a timeless and repeatable reset 🧑🚀.
