3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly and place a small bag before you; name three items you truly need.
Light a bit of cedar or rosemary while imagining light on each unnecessary item and setting it down.
Tie a ribbon around the bag to signal intention (keep/change/let go).
Carry the bag for a short walk or set it by your bed overnight as a symbol of practice.
Affirmation
“I carry what nourishes my journey and release what weighs me down with care.”
