3-step Mini Ritual
Place a small bowl of seawater or salt near you to represent the tide of emotion.
Hold a smooth stone or moonstone and breathe slowly for five minutes, feeling fingertips and spine.
Speak a short boundary sentence aloud (e.g., 'I protect my peace and let warmth in').
Blow gently over your hands as if softening spines, then set the stone somewhere visible.
Affirmation
“I can be tender and safe; my edges are signals, not walls.”
