Ritual Practice

On a blank sheet, draw a simple map with three labeled territories: 'Current Role,' 'Dream Path,' and 'Hidden Gifts.' Place a small candle at 'Current Role,' light it, and meditate for 3 minutes on what you've built. Then, using the candle's flame, carefully burn the edge of the 'Dream Path' section while whispering one skill you wish to develop. Finally, drip a single wax drop onto 'Hidden Gifts' as an offering to your untapped potential. Extinguish the candle by snuffing, not blowing.
