Ritual Practice

Clear a small, dedicated surface (a shelf, corner of a desk). Place a candle in the center. Around it, arrange three small objects that feel sacred or meaningful to you (e.g., a found feather, a special stone, a photo, a written word). This is your altar. Each evening for one week, light the candle for just five minutes. Do not ask for anything. Simply sit before it, breathe, and observe the flame and your objects. Let your attention rest there in quiet reverence. Blow out the candle with gratitude.
