Set the Setting

Design Your Container

Your environment shapes your experience. Create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and free from interruption.

◆
  • Choose a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.
  • Dim the lights or use candles, salt lamps, or soft lighting.
  • Make it comfortable – pillows, blankets, eye mask.
  • Use quality speakers or headphones.
  • Keep water nearby.

Prepare With Intention

Rituals & Preparation

Simple rituals help signal to your mind and body that it’s time
to turn inward. Prepare yourself, your space, and your heart.

〰

Cleanse
Your Space

Clear the energy before your journey. Sage, palo santo, or incense can help reset the space and invite in positive energy.

♙

Set Your
Intention

Take a few moments to reflect on why you are journeying and what you wish to explore or release.

♨

What to
Eat

Avoid heavy, greasy, or processed foods for at least 4–6 hours before your experience.

♢

Hydrate
Well

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Stay hydrated before, during, and after.

♡

Set Yourself
Up to Rest

Get good sleep the night before. Give yourself time afterward to integrate without rushing back to life.

▱

Reduce
Distractions

Turn off your phone or set it to do not disturb. Let others know you need time and space for your journey.
