Ritual Practice

Stand before a mirror. Gently bite down on a clean pencil (or your own finger) for 10 seconds, feeling the pressure. Release. Then, smile fully at your reflection. On a small piece of paper, write one thing you wish to 'bite into' (a goal) and one you wish to 'release' (a fear). Burn the paper safely in a metal bowl or sink, saying 'I consume my power, I shed my dread.'
