Four Dimensions of Self-Care

Self-care is more than pampering—it’s the sacred act of tending to your body, mind, emotions, and spirit with intention, compassion, and presence. It’s how you say to yourself: “I matter. I am worthy of care. I choose to honor my needs.”

Four Dimensions of Self-Care

1. Physical – Nurturing your body

• Resting when tired

• Eating nourishing foods

• Moving your body with love (stretching, dancing, walking)

• Hydration and deep breathing

2. Emotional – Holding space for your feelings

• Journaling your emotions without judgment

• Talking to a safe friend or therapist

• Letting yourself cry or feel anger safely

• Practicing self-forgiveness and grace

3. Mental – Clearing your mind

• Saying “no” to overstimulation

• Engaging in creative activities

• Reading something inspiring

• Challenging negative self-talk gently

4. Spiritual – Feeding your soul

• Meditation, prayer, or stillness

• Reiki or energy clearing

• Time in nature or silence

• Gratitude and intention-setting

Gentle Self-Care Mantra

“I choose to care for myself with love.

I honor what I need. I listen. I soften.

I deserve to feel nourished, safe, and whole.”

What Self-Care Is Not

• It’s not selfish—it’s essential

• It’s not always easy—it often requires boundaries

• It’s not a luxury—it’s your birthright

Beautiful—let’s create a simple, soulful self-care routine that nurtures your body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and supports your healing journey through Reiki, Shamanic work, and intentional living.

Your Personalized Self-Care Ritual (Daily or As Needed)

Morning (Set the Tone)

Time needed: 10–20 minutes

Purpose: Grounding, clarity, connection

1. Breathe + Bless (2–3 mins)

Sit in stillness. Hand on heart. Breathe in for 4, hold 4, out for 6.

Silently say:

“I welcome this day with love. I am safe, supported, and divinely guided.”

2. Gentle Movement (5–10 mins)

Stretch, sway, dance, or do light yoga—move energy through your body.

Let your breath lead the way.

3. Reiki Self-Treatment (optional)

Place your hands on your heart, solar plexus, and lower belly.

Call in healing:

“I receive the light of Reiki. May this energy clear, calm, and align me.”

Midday (Reset + Re-center)

Time needed: 5–10 minutes

Purpose: Emotional check-in, energy clearing

• Ask: “What do I need right now?”

• Quick journaling prompt: What am I feeling? What is this feeling asking of me?

• Lightly anoint your body (temples, heart, wrists) with oil or water as a blessing

• Burn sage, palo santo, or use sound (rattle, chime) to reset your space

Evening (Restore + Reflect)

Time needed: 15–30 minutes

Purpose: Release, integration, peace

1. Spiritual Cleanse

• Take a salt bath or foot soak

• Reiki your water or bath with the intention to clear all heavy energy

2. Shamanic Reflection or Journey (optional)

• Drum or listen to shamanic music

• Ask: What did I carry today that’s not mine? What wisdom wants to be heard?

3. Closing Prayer or Statement

“I release what is not mine. I receive peace.

I am held, I am whole, I am home.”

4. Gratitude Ritual

Write down 3 small things you’re grateful for—especially the simple gifts.

Let it remind you that joy lives in the little things.

Here are a few closing statements to seal your self-care practice with intention, gratitude, and sacred peace. You can speak them aloud, whisper them, or simply hold them in your heart:

1. Gentle Grounding

“I am grounded. I am present. I am whole.

All that I’ve released has returned to the light.

I thank myself for showing up with love today.”

2. Reiki-Aligned Closure

“This healing is complete for now.

May the energy continue to flow in perfect harmony.

I walk forward in balance, light, and grace.”

3. Shamanic Spirit Closing

“I honor the guides, the ancestors, and the elements.

I close this sacred space with gratitude.

What is meant for me will remain. What is not will return to the Earth.”

4. Heart-Centered Blessing

“I am enough. I am loved. I am safe.

I choose peace, presence, and joy—one breath at a time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done.”
