Your ancestors stomped to break spells, banish spirits, and reclaim their power.
Today, science proves they were right.

𧬠Fun Fact: Your bones are literally organized in Saturnian rings. Yes, the planet of structure and authority is written into your cellular memory. (More on this cosmic biology in a moment...)
But first, let's talk about why you're really here.
Maybe you're tired of:
• Living in someone else's vision of your life
• Feeling disconnected from your own authority
• Carrying the weight of old programming in your body
Here's what neuroscience recently discovered: Your body remembers who you were before they told you who to be. And today, we're going to help it remember.
Your Sacred Stomp Practice:
(Set a timer for 2 minutes because otherwise, you will stop in 30 seconds.)
Before you begin:
1. Quick body scan (just notice what's tight)
2. Set your intention (who are you stomping for today?)
3. Connect to the ground (even if just in your mind)
The Actual Stomp:
• Feet hip-width apart
• Knees soft
• Begin gentle
• 2 minutes morning and night (brush your teeth, brush your bones)
Modifications (Because This is YOUR Practice):
πͺ Seated: Simply tap your feet
π Lying down: Imagine you doing the movement
π¦ Ultra-gentle (and ultra-powerful): Imagine your soul is doing the stomping
Why This Works (The Science Part)
Each stomp:
• Activates your vagus nerve (your inner safety switch)
• Stimulates bone restructuring (literally rebuilding your boundaries)
• Releases trapped survival energy (goodbye, old patterns)
The Cosmic Biology
When you stomp, you're:
• Engaging your Saturn-ruled bones (your inner authority)
• Activating Mars energy (your sacred anger)
• Creating your own gravitational field (yes, really)
Before You Go:
Take 3 seconds to notice:
• How does your body feel different?
• Where do you sense more space?
• What feels more yours?
Tomorrow:
We'll explore why anger is holy and how your brain processes it through movement. (Hint: It's not what most therapists tell you...)

• Document your journey (just for you)
Remember: You came with all the authority you need. We're just remembering together.
Standing with you,

P.S. The most powerful thing about this practice? It works whether you believe in it or not. Your body knows what to do. Trust that.

Sacred CliffsNotes
(For Those Who Scrolled to the Bottom):
*Medical Note: Always stay within pain-free limits. This is your practice to modify. By participating, you acknowledge you're choosing what's right for your body.*
1. Set Your Intention
Identify who or what you’re stomping for today. Maybe it’s yourself, a loved one, or something larger than yourself. Research shows that when we set the intention to sleep for someone, they feel more rested. With stomping for someone else, you could choose to set the intention that they find their inner authority (aka inner government) rather than seeking it outwardly. Visualize this as you begin.
2. Stomp Safely
Stand stable with feet shoulder-width apart. Lift one foot and bring it down intentionally, using the ground as your ally. Aim for 2 minutes. Work within your ap your feet if you need a gentler option. *Imagine* the impact if needed.
3. Reflect
Afterward, take a moment to sense how this grounding practice has impacted your body.
