I start to wonder if perhaps this being is a tree? A very, very old tree, hence the emphasis on stasis. Apparently the oldest tree in the RW is a bristle-cone pine that's 4767 years old.
The benefits might be tied to berries from the tree? Or fallen wood - maybe they can make extra strong handles for tools, or something?
I'd suggest that the ritual is an re-enactment of "how our ancestors met this being and befriended it".
