Acquired Moment: Stability & Grounding Edition

A moment to reset, reconnect, and ground yourself.

Your Acquired Moment Box: Grounding & Stability Edition is designed to help you cultivate balance, stability, and presence. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsteady or just seeking a mindful reset, this set provides tools to anchor your energy and reconnect with yourself.

What’s Inside & How It Supports You

Each item in this set is intentionally chosen to help you feel more centered:

• Patchouli Incense Sticks– Earthy and grounding, this scent helps create stability and emotional balance.
• Palo Santo Stick – Clears stagnant energy, making space for clarity and renewal.
• Lavender Sachet – Naturally calming, promotes relaxation and emotional balance.
• Sodalite  – A stone of clarity & balance, grounding thoughts & emotions.

Important Note on Smoke & Ventilation: Palo Santo and incense are both potent in their own right. To prevent overpowering smoke, avoid burning both at the same time. Consider using them on different days or at different times. Always burn in a well-ventilated space, and avoid burning an entire stick in one session—lightly wafting the smoke is enough to set the intention.

3 Grounding Practices to Try

1. Clearing & Resetting Energy (Palo Santo Practice)

Best for: Releasing negativity, refreshing your space, and starting fresh

How to Practice:

• Open a window or door to allow stagnant energy to leave.
• Hold your Palo Santo Stick at an angle and light it using a candle. Let it burn for 30–60 seconds, then blow out the flame.
• Gently wave the smoke around your space, focusing on doorways, corners, and areas that feel heavy. You can also move the smoke around your body to release lingering stress.
• While doing this, set an intention—something like:
  "I release what no longer serves me and welcome balance into my space."
• Let the scent linger for a few minutes before extinguishing the embers.

2. Deep Reflection & Grounding (Patchouli Incense Practice)

Best for: Journaling, self-reflection, emotional balance

How to Practice:

• Light your Patchouli Incense Stick and place it in a holder. Watch the smoke rise as you settle into stillness.
• Hold your Sodalite stone in your hand, feeling its weight and texture.
• As the incense burns, take a few deep breaths and focus on the present moment.
• Begin journaling using this reflection prompt:
  "Imagine you wake up tomorrow feeling completely balanced, calm, and in control of your day. What does your morning look like? How do you carry yourself throughout the day? What boundaries do you set? What habits do you engage in? Write about this as if it’s already happening."
  
• Let your thoughts flow freely, without judgment. When finished, sit with your answers and visualize yourself embodying stability in your life. 

3. Relaxation & Stress Release (Lavender Practice)

Best for: Easing tension, preparing for restful sleep, or calming the mind

How to Practice:

• Find a comfortable space—your bed, a cozy chair, or a meditation cushion.
• Hold the Lavender Sachet near your nose and take a few deep breaths, allowing the scent to relax you.
• Place it under your pillow or nightstand to enjoy its soothing aroma.
• Listen to a guided grounding meditation to deepen your relaxation.

Recommended Meditation: Search for a Root Chakra or Body Scan Meditation on YouTube or Spotify. These meditations focus on bringing awareness to your breath, body, and surroundings, helping you feel more anchored in the present moment.
