Ritual Practice

Fill a small bowl with soil (potting soil is fine). Take a seed (like a lentil, bean, or herb seed). Hold it in your palm and whisper one quality you wish to nurture in yourself. Make a small hole in the soil with your finger, place the seed inside, and cover it gently. Water it lightly. Place the bowl on a windowsill. For the next week, tend to it each morning with a touch and a breath.
