3-step Mini Ritual
Find a quiet corner; place a small bowl with soil or feathers as a symbolic nest.
Write one thing you are incubating on paper and fold it into the bowl.
Light a calming incense (sandalwood or lavender) and breathe for five minutes, visualizing warmth around the nest.
Close by declaring one boundary you will honor to protect that project or relationship.
Affirmation
“I hold what matters with care and give it room to grow.”
Next 24 hours
Tend one small domestic or creative task (repair, organize, call someone you support) to honor the nesting impulse.
