Wash hands and quietly name the quality you want to hold (care, boundary, healing).

2

Hold the poppet and sew, knot, or place a small token inside while voicing a brief intention.

3

Keep it on your bedside or in a safe box for seven days, revisiting the feeling each night.

4

If the feeling shifts, alter a stitch or remove the token as a clear release.
