3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly by water or a window; name aloud one thing you will let go of.
Hold a small stone or token as a symbol of that burden; feel its weight.
Breathe while imagining placing the token in a boat and watching it move away.
Close by grounding—feet on the floor, three slow breaths—and thank the ferryman/guide.
Affirmation
“I step across what I must release with steady feet and an open heart.”
