Ritual Practice

Take four small pieces of paper. On each, write a major life path you are considering (e.g., 'Career A', 'City B', 'Relationship C', 'Path of Solitude'). Place them at the four cardinal points of a table. Sit in the center with a cup of water. Pour a little water onto each paper while saying, 'I bless each potential. I choose with clarity.' Then, after a moment of silence, consciously pick up one paper and place it in your pocket for the day.
