Sit near water or visualize the sea for five minutes to settle the emotions.
Light a small candle or hold a bowl of water as a symbol of provision.
Name one thing you can give and one thing you need to keep — speak both aloud.
Offer a tiny symbolic gift (a coin, a written intention) and then close by breathing out what you release.
Affirmation
“I nourish with clear hands and guard my own tide.”
