Ritual Practice

Sweeping Meditation: Take your actual broom. Before sweeping, stand still for one minute and name three things you wish to clear from your life (not physical dirt). As you sweep a small area, visualize these leaving your space with each stroke. Collect the sweepings in a dustpan. Instead of discarding immediately, examine them—find one small object (a pebble, a bit of leaf) to keep as a reminder of what was cleared.

Questions for Reflection

"What negative influences do I need to remove from my life?"
