Ritual Practice

Write a personal contract with yourself on parchment-style paper. Include three commitments (e.g., 'I will honor my creativity'). Sign it with a special pen. Fold it into a paper boat, float it in a bowl of water for one minute while saying 'I am bound only to my truth,' then carefully burn it in a fire-safe dish, watching the smoke carry your intentions.
