The 'Karma Ledger' ritual. Take a blank sheet of paper. Draw a vertical line down the center. On the left, list three concrete obligations or debts (time, energy, money). On the right, list three concrete offerings or values you provide to the world. Fold the paper in half, then in half again. Hold it in your hands and say, 'The balance is mine to tend.' Burn it safely in a metal bowl or sink, watching the obligations and offerings become one ash.
