Somatic Check-In · Free Tool

Your body knows
things your mind hasn't
caught up to yet

Grief, fear, shame, and unprocessed pain live in the body — not just the mind. This gentle body-mapping tool helps you locate what you're carrying and receive a reflection drawn from the hermetic earth tradition.

Free to use. No account required. Save your check-in history with an email address.

What is your body saying?

Mark what you feel where. Then answer two short questions. Your reflection will be drawn from the hermetic earth tradition — the principle that the body holds what the mind has not yet understood.

How intense is what you're feeling right now? (1 = barely there · 10 = overwhelming)

    The Hermetic Body

    Where your body speaks from

    ⊕
    Earth · Sal
    The body, the bones, the weight. What is fixed, material, and structural. The ancient hermetics called this Sal — the salt principle — the physical form that holds everything together.
    ∇
    Water · Mercury
    The fluid body. Tears, blood, the lymph that processes emotion. What moves through you and what gets stuck. The hermetic Mercury principle — motion and connection.
    △
    Air · Breath
    The breath body. What expands and contracts. The chest that tightens with anxiety and opens with relief. The hermetic air principle — the invisible carrying the visible.
    ✦
    Fire · Sulphur
    The heat body. Inflammation, fever, the burn of shame or anger. What generates warmth and what burns. The hermetic Sulphur principle — the animating fire within matter.

    Your body has been
    trying to tell you something

    The check-in is the beginning. When you're ready to go deeper, the Letter tool and the Ritual Builder are waiting — both designed to meet what the body has surfaced.
