The Sol Shaker Creation Ritual
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Set Your Intention
Before your begin, take a breath. What are you calling in? Joy? Confidence? A fresh start? Let your Sol Shaker hold that energy. You can write it down, speak it aloud, or simply feel it in your heart.
Step 2: Play with Color
Start painting the drum or frame—brush, blend, drip, swirl. Let the colors reflect your mood, your essence, or simply follow the flow. There's no perfect design—only what feels true and you.
Step 3: Embellish with Magic
Add gems, textures, ribbons, macrame, or accents that call to you. Maybe each piece means something...or maybe it's just for fun. All are welcome here.
Step 4: Seal it with Soul
If you have a sticker or affirmation, place it on your tambourine—or write your own mantra somewhere only you'll see (I love writing special notes on the inside of the wood frame). This is your soul, sealed in sound.
Step 5: Shake It Into Life
Let the paint dry, then... shake it! Spin in a circle. Dance barefoot. Laugh out loud. Cry if you feel called to. With every shake, hear the call back to your soul—the one that's been quietly waiting to be set free.
​Insider tip:
Put on your favorite song (Dancing Queen by ABBA is a classic) and have an impromptu dance party, right where you are! Repeat after me: "I am rhythm. I am Sol. I am free."
I can hear your soul shaking from here. I love the beat of a tambourine but I live for the sound of the soul coming to life again.
