Take a small clay pot or bowl and fill it with soil. Write on a piece of paper a belief or structure that feels broken in your life. Tear the paper into pieces, mix them into the soil, and plant a seed (like basil or a flower). Water it daily, whispering, 'From ruin, new life grows,' as a ritual of transformation.
