A Ripple Begins Meditation

A practice of intention, presence, and unseen impact.

A Ripple Begins: Using the power of association through intention with your Angel Aberdeen jewelry, this simple practice invites you to become a steward of compassion. You are not separate from the change you seek. You are the beginning of it. The Ripple begins with You. 

How it works:

·       We will use the box breathing technique designed for the military. 

•        Inhale for 4 seconds
•        Hold for 4 seconds
•        Exhale for 4 seconds
•        Hold for 4 seconds
•        And repeat your box cycle. 

Find a quiet, comfortable space.

Sit upright, grounded but at ease.

Let one hand rest in your lap, gently holding your Angel Aberdeen piece in one hand, your other hand placed on your heart.

Feel your jewelry in your hand, its presence, its weight, the invitation it offers of remembrance; this begins with you right now.

Set your intention:

I am charging my new treasure with the remembrance that my smallest acts carry meaning. I am a pebble being tossed into a large pond, a ripple begins, it begins with me.

Begin your breath…

Inhale slowly for 4 seconds – draw in stillness and presence.
Hold your breath for 4 seconds – feel the space between.
Exhale softly for 4 seconds – send your intention through your jewelry.
Pause for 4 seconds before you begin to inhale again.

Repeat this breath cycle 4 times,
allowing each inhale to draw you in…
each exhale to reach beyond you...

Addtional Thoughts:

Imagine a body of still water stretched out before you—
a large pond, a lake, the ocean, calm and smooth as glass.

And you—a small pebble—are released into it.
You touch the surface.
A single point of contact.
A single act of love.
A single moment of courage.
And the ripples begin.

You may not see how far these little ripples reach…
but they continue—quietly, endlessly, outward.

You are the pebble.
The ripple begins because you chose to begin.
Because you showed up.
Because you cared.

 Mantra (whisper, repeat, or reflect silently)

“I am a pebble being tossed into a great pond.
Long after I drift out of sight, the ripples I have created will still continue across the surface.”

“I am a pebble.”

Closing Intention:

Understand the ripple begins with you, and long after you have left to go home (to pass from this Earth) the ripples you have started now will push forward unto others. 

Place one hand on your heart.
Feel the energy still moving through you.
Feel the your Angel Aberdeen treasure that you carry—charged with this knowing.

A prayer for today:

May my presence soften the world around me.
May my choices carry kindness.
May I move gently and know it matters.
May I be the ripple that awakens love in others.

The ripple begins with you.
