Find a quiet minute; breathe and picture the wooden grain of a rafter supporting you.
Name one support you rely on and one weak spot you can tend.
Light a bit of cedar or sandalwood; speak a brief intention to strengthen or release.
Take one small practical step — tighten, mend, ask, or schedule help.
Affirmation
“I honour the supports that hold me and I mend what needs tending.”
