3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly with a match or its image and breathe three slow counts.
Name one small intention you want sparked (one sentence).
Light (or visualize lighting) the match and observe without forcing meaning.
Gently extinguish and note the feeling or first word that arises.
Affirmation
“I am willing to kindle what needs lighting and to let small sparks guide steady growth.”
