Sit with a spiral image or shell; breathe slowly for five minutes, tracing the spiral with your fingertip.
Speak an intention for one inner chamber you want to open or revisit.
Light a small fragrant incense (sandalwood or frankincense) and visualize light moving inward through each chamber.
Close with three grounding breaths and write one insight in a journal.
Affirmation
“I unfold at my own pace; each inner chamber holds a lesson that guides my next step.”
