  • Grounding & Presence Ritual: Nervous System Support When the World Feels Heavy
    Jan 30 2026

    Send us a text

    In this ritual episode of The Holistic Ritual, you’re invited into a grounded, supportive space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself during a time that feels especially heavy.

    Kamela begins by gently acknowledging the current collective climate and the ways ongoing social and political stress can live in the body, mind, and nervous system. Without bypassing what’s real, this episode offers a place to be present without abandoning yourself.

    Together, we move through an intuitive Oracle card reading centered on divine guidance and passion, followed by reflections on current astrological transits and how they may be amplifying collective overwhelm, mental overstimulation, and emotional intensity.

    • Pluto in Aquarius: January 20, 2024 through March 8, 2043
    • Mars in Aquarius: January 23, 2026 through March 13, 2026
    • Neptune in Aries: January 26, 2026 through October 22, 2026

    Throughout the episode, the focus remains on nervous system care, discernment, and choosing intentional, values-led action over constant urgency.

    The episode closes with a guided grounding meditation using the S-B-N-R-R practice (Stop, Breathe, Notice, Reflect, Respond), offering a simple, supportive way to regulate stress, soften tension, and create space around what you’re carrying.

    This ritual is here to support you in staying connected, resourced, and human, not to numb or bypass, but to help you remain present, steady, and responsive in uncertain times.

  • Holding Space for Multiple Emotions at Once | Guided Meditation
    Jan 23 2026

    Send us a text

    In this standalone guided meditation, Kamela Celeste invites you into a gentle practice of holding space for the “and.” This meditation is for moments when you find yourself carrying more than one truth at the same time, joy and grief, hope and fear, excitement and heaviness.

    Rather than asking you to choose one emotion or push anything away, this practice offers a grounded space to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and allow complexity to exist without needing to be fixed. Through body awareness, breath, and reflective guidance, you are supported in releasing pressure, softening self judgment, and meeting yourself exactly where you are.

    This meditation is designed to be returned to anytime you are navigating transition, uncertainty, or emotional overwhelm, whether you are opening a new chapter or simply needing space to breathe.

    Who This Meditation Is For

    This meditation is for you if:

    • You are feeling hopeful and exhausted at the same time
    • You are holding excitement alongside grief, fear, or uncertainty
    • You want relief without spiritual bypassing
    • You are craving a practice that honors emotional honesty and self compassion
    • You want to feel more grounded, present, and connected to your body

    No prior meditation experience is needed.


    What You May Feel After This Practice

    After completing this meditation, you may notice:

    • A greater sense of emotional spaciousness
    • Reduced stress and nervous system settling
    • A deeper connection to your breath and body
    • More compassion for yourself and your inner experience
    • Relief from the pressure to figure everything out

    You do not leave this practice with answers. You leave with permission.

  • 2026 Vision Ritual: Aligning Your Timeline with Your Future Self
    Jan 13 2026

    Send us a text

    In this full ritual episode of The Holistic Ritual, host Kamela Celeste returns after a quiet holiday pause to ease into the beginning of 2026 with intention, reflection, and spiritual grounding.

    The episode gently touches on themes of grief and transition, exploring how periods of loss and change can naturally reshape our relationship with time, ambition, and forward movement. Rather than rushing into goals, listeners are invited to consider what it looks like to move at a pace that honors the nervous system and supports long-term alignment.

    Kamela guides listeners through vision boards as a ritual practice, not as a surface level tool, but as a way of attuning to the future self through imagery, embodiment, and daily lived action. An ADHD-friendly framework is shared, emphasizing outcomes, everyday practices, and evidence as anchors for sustainable manifestation.

    The episode also introduces the concept of an action board as a gentle companion to visioning - a way to orient, check in, and course-correct without pressure or rigidity. The ritual closes with a grounding meditation designed to support clarity, connection, and spiritual guidance as the year unfolds.

    This episode offers a calm, intentional beginning — one rooted in presence rather than urgency.



    Content note: This episode includes brief discussion of pet loss and grief. Please listen with care and feel free to pause or skip sections if needed.
