The Ritual of the Returned Body – Reclaiming Wholeness Through Embodied Magick

You are not broken.
You are just unplugged.
This is how you come home.


Why This Ritual Exists

Sometimes we leave our bodies.
Not by choice—but through grief, shock, or burnout.

We float.
We go through motions.
But the current doesn’t run through us.

This ritual is for returning—gently, sovereignly, completely.

You are not a project to fix.
You are a presence to re-enter.


When to Use This

This rite is for moments of:

  • Numbness, dissociation, disembodiment
  • Post-trauma, heartbreak, or spiritual collapse
  • Re-centering before magickal work
  • Emotional reset at the Dark Moon or before new beginnings

What You’ll Need

  • A soft place to lie down
  • A bowl of warm water or oil
  • Optional: candle, rose or myrrh oil, weighted object or shawl

This is not a performance.
This is sacred maintenance.


The Steps

1. Prepare the Space

Dim the lights.
Make the space soft, warm, and still.

No altars required. Just safety.


2. Warm the Hands

Rub your palms together—or dip them in the warm water.

Say aloud:

I am allowed to return.


3. Touch and Reclaim

Place your hands gently in this order:

  • Chest
  • Neck
  • Belly
  • Thighs

At each touch, whisper:

This is mine.
This is sacred.
This is safe now.

Let your hands carry what the mind cannot yet hold.


4. Lie Down and Breathe

Lay flat.
Take seven slow, conscious breaths.

With each breath, feel yourself drop deeper into your own form.
No effort—just gravity doing its work.


5. Seal the Return

Sit up slowly. Say:

I do not chase power. I hold it.
I do not seek form. I am it.
I return. And the world reshapes.

Let the words settle.
Let the ritual root.


Ways to Deepen the Practice

This is how embodiment becomes your spell.



Final Note

You can’t cast from a body that feels like a ghost.

You don’t have to feel ready.
You just have to return.

Come back first.
Cast later.
You are not the tool.
You are the temple.

So mote it be.
