3-step Mini Ritual
place a small rotating object (wheel, music box) by your bedside
for five minutes before sleep, trace a sequence of three memories gently in your journal
light a stick of sandalwood or a pinch of mugwort and name one pattern you choose to shift
upon waking, sketch one frame you remember and write one tiny action to alter the next loop
Affirmation
“I am the animator of my cycles; I choose the next frame with gentle attention.”
