Ritual Practice

Take a piece of paper. Write down a single word representing a major obstacle, fear, or toxic habit. Fold the paper tightly. Place it on a fire-safe dish. Light a match, hold it over the paper, and say aloud: 'I cut this away.' Ignite the paper corner and let it burn completely to ash. Run the ash under cool water in the sink, watching it dissolve.
