3-step Mini Ritual
Light a gentle incense (sandalwood or frankincense) and sit with a blank page.
Write one line you want to let go of, then write a small revision beneath it — don’t judge either line.
Fold the paper, hold it to your third eye for a breath, then place it somewhere symbolic (a drawer, altar, or burn safely).
Affirmation
“I can read my past with compassion and choose what to carry forward.”
