Ritual Practice

Find a small, smooth stone. With a pen, lightly draw a simple symbol of a goal or quality you wish to 'carve' into your life (e.g., a star for aspiration, a wave for flow). Hold the stone firmly and trace the symbol with your finger, applying firm, intentional pressure, repeating your goal silently with each pass.
