Set a small space with a token (photo, shell, fabric) and a candle or cup of tea.
Sit quietly for five minutes, breathe into the chest, name one exact memory.
Write a short note to that memory—thank it, ask what it needs, then fold and keep or safely release.
Close with three deep breaths and a small gesture of return (touching heart or pouring water).
Affirmation
“I hold my past with gratitude and open my heart to what arrives.”
