Sit three minutes in silence, then extinguish the candle with gratitude.

focus on the texture and temperature of ash between your fingers; use that tactile detail to stabilize awareness.

2–3 times

Note location, object, and dominant emotion each night; look for a single repeating verb (sweep, cover, light).

4+ times

Create a simple map of recurring symbols and life events; if patterns persist, consider a small ritual or trusted counselor to complete the process.
