5-4-3-2-1 Kintsugi Woman


Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can sit or lie down without interruptions. Take a deep breath in, hold it for a moment, and exhale slowly. Let’s begin.


5 - Acknowledge FIVE things you see around you. Imagine yourself in a serene forest. See the vibrant green leaves, the sturdy brown trunks, the soft moss underfoot, the clear blue sky peeking through the canopy, and the golden sunlight that dapples the ground.

4 - Feel FOUR things you can touch. Feel the rough bark of a tree, the smoothness of a pebble, the gentle breeze on your skin, and the earth beneath your hands.

3 - Listen to THREE sounds you can hear. Hear the whisper of the wind, the distant call of a bird, and the quiet rustle of leaves.

2 - Smell TWO scents you can detect. Smell the fresh earth after rain and the sweet fragrance of wildflowers.

1 - Taste ONE thing you can taste. Taste the freshness of the air as you take a deep breath in.


Now, with your senses fully engaged, envision yourself as a Kintsugi woman, your cracks filled with gold, standing strong and beautiful.


Visualize Your Chrysalis Journey See yourself wrapped in a cocoon of ethereal energy, the chrysalis of your transformation. Feel the warmth and safety as you prepare to emerge, reborn.

Embrace Your Feminine Ethereal Energy Feel the surge of your feminine energy, ethereal and bold. It’s a force of nature, gentle yet powerful, flowing through you.


Trust in Your Transformation Trust in the process of your transformation, knowing that like the Kintsugi pottery, you are becoming stronger and more beautiful with each challenge you overcome.


Know You Are Enough As you prepare to step out of your chrysalis, know that you are enough. You are complete, just as you are, with your unique strengths and imperfections.

Take a few more deep breaths, and when you’re ready, gently open your eyes. Carry this sense of grounding and empowerment with you as you return to your day.


As you continue the grounding energy of the meditation, let’s deepen the experience with a chrysalis journey mantra that celebrates the feminine energy bliss of the Kintsugi woman. Repeat this mantra either aloud or in your heart, and let its words resonate with your spirit:


Chrysalis Journey Mantra

I am the artisan of my own soul,

Mending gold in every role.

With each breath, I embrace my might,

In my chrysalis, I find the light.


I am the weaver of my fate,

With love and joy, I create.

Bold and gentle, strong and wise,

In my transformation, my spirit flies.


I am enough, a Kintsugi blend,

Whole and beautiful, I transcend.

With ethereal grace, I rise and dance,

In my journey, I take the chance.


Feminine energy, wild and free,

In blissful transformation, I choose to be.

My mantra is my guiding star,

Kintsugi sistars, that's who we are.


Sistars, let this mantra be a guiding force for you,  a reminder of the strength, beauty, and completeness within each of you. May it accompany you on your journey, empowering you to embrace your transformation with confidence and grace.


Feel free to share this meditation with your Kintsugi sistars as a tool for grounding and reconnecting with their inner strength and beauty. May it serve as a reminder of your transformative journey and the power they hold within.
