3-step Mini Ritual

1

Sit with a bowl of water; visualize the harpoon entering and removing one heavy image or feeling.

2

Light a small incense stick (cedar or frankincense) and speak a single clear sentence of truth aloud.

3

Tie a short ribbon around your wrist as a vow to aim with integrity; keep it three days.

Affirmation

“I aim with honesty and tenderness; my actions pierce illusion, not hearts.”

Next 24 hours

Name one small, decisive task you've postponed and take a first concrete step toward it before the day ends.

Symbol Combos

2–3 times

Note where the aim landed and how you felt; ask, 'Was this protection or aggression?'
