Ritual Practice

Place a small bowl of water before you. Light a candle. Hold your hands palms-down over the bowl. Speak one raw feeling or situation you wish to transform. Then, slowly pass your hands through the candle's flame (at a safe distance, feeling only the heat) and immediately dip your fingertips into the water. Visualize the heat transforming the raw into the nourishing as you feel the water cool.
