With Hibiscus
Releasing on the Autumn Equinox
By ReikiRaEss 🪬
Introduction: Setting the Scene
The kettle whistles, the hibiscus petals swirl into deep crimson in your cup, and the scent of tartness fills the air. Tonight, we’re not hunting suspects outside of us — we’re turning inward, investigating the armor we wear to protect our hearts.
This is the Autumn Equinox episode, the perfect time for balance, release, and reset. Just like the trees let go of their leaves, we’re being called to release the walls we’ve built up emotionally.
The Mystery: Why We Build Emotional Armor
Emotional armor shows up as:
Smiling when you’re actually hurting,
Keeping people at arm’s length,
Saying “I’m fine” when you’re exhausted,
Or not asking for help because vulnerability feels unsafe.
We build this armor to survive — but sometimes, what once protected us is now keeping us from real connection and peace.
Reflective Question (Detective Notebook Prompt):
Where in my life do I keep up a wall out of habit, even when it no longer serves me?
What might happen if I let one brick fall away?
The Tea: Hibiscus Healing
Hibiscus tea, with its deep ruby color, is known for supporting the heart and circulatory system. Spiritually, it’s a tea of opening the heart chakra, releasing pent-up emotions, and inviting love and balance.
✨ Autumn Equinox Ritual with Hibiscus ✨
- Brew a strong cup of hibiscus tea.
- Sit near a window (bonus if you can see the moon or evening light).
- With each sip, imagine your heart softening, releasing old pain or fear.
- Write down one wall you’re ready to release. Burn or tear the paper as a symbol of letting go.
Affirmations for the Case
“I am safe to soften my heart.”
“I release the armor that no longer serves me.”
“I invite balance, love, and connection into my life.”
Closing: Case Notes
Just like Matlock looks past the surface to uncover the truth in court, and Elsbeth follows the quirkiest clues to crack a case — you too can release the distractions and face the truth of what’s really within.
With hibiscus tea in hand, case closed: your heart is lighter, your walls thinner, your spirit freer.

🫖 Until the next case, keep sipping and seeking.
