Ritual Practice

Write a contentious statement on a slip of paper. Place a candle on one side of a table (representing 'Agree') and a glass of water on the other ('Disagree'). Light the candle, read the statement aloud, then physically move to stand by the element representing your stance. Speak one reason for your position into the silence for one minute, then extinguish the candle and drink the water to integrate both sides.
