Spell / Working
Purpose: A body-reclaiming movement spell for returning ownership to yourself.
“My body, my mind, my dominion.”
Best for: reclaiming the body after dissociation, trauma responses, feeling watched, feeling invaded, or before vulnerable physical moments
Timing: before intimacy, after a hard interaction, after a spiral, or whenever you need to feel like yourself again
Difficulty: easy
Mess level: none
Materials
- Your body
- Privacy if possible
- Optional: your embodiment or protection sigil
Go gently. Skip or alter any touch that feels bad, triggering, or too intense. This spell is about consent with yourself first.
Method
- Place both hands over your heart.
- Drag them slowly down your body: sternum, belly, hips, or whatever route feels safe.
- Move your hands out to your sides, palms down, like smoothing a tablecloth over yourself.
- Repeat once if needed, moving slower the second time.
- Say the words and finish by pressing one hand to your heart or belly.
Words
Meum corpus, mea mens, meum imperium.
My body, my mind, my dominion.
What this does: Turns touch and gesture into a statement of self-ownership and consent.
Field note: This one is especially useful when you need to feel less observed and more internally located.
