3-step Mini Ritual
Sit with both feet on the earth and breathe three slow counts.
Hold a small stone or seed; state aloud what you will tend or release.
Dig symbolically (finger in soil or pour water) and visualize uncovering one truth.
Close by offering thanks and planting or burying the seed/stone as commitment.
Affirmation
“I honor what was buried so what must grow can rise.”
