Ritual Practice

Take two small bowls. Fill one with water (representing fluidity/mercy) and one with salt (representing structure/law). With a pen, write a personal dilemma on a strip of paper. Dip the paper first in water, then in salt, letting it dry on a windowsill. Once dry, tear it into pieces and scatter them from your balcony or into a moving sink drain, saying 'I release my judgment to a higher balance.'

Questions for Reflection

"Where in your life are you exercising personal judgment that affects others?"
"What internal rules might you be bending or enforcing too rigidly?"
"How do you balance fairness with compassion in your decisions?"
