Ritual Practice

Fill a shallow basin with water. Hold your hands over it and speak aloud one feeling you wish to release. Then, using an eyedropper or spoon, add single drops of ink or food coloring to the water while visualizing that emotion dissolving. Once the water is dark, carefully carry the basin to a sink. As you pour it away, whisper, 'What washes through me, cleanses me.'
