3-step Mini Ritual
At dusk, place a small jar and a candle nearby; breathe deeply three times.
Speak a short intention for what the light represents (clarity, courage, release).
Sit quietly and watch a single point of light until you feel grounded.
Decide: release the light (let it go) or set the jar on your altar as a reminder.
Affirmation
“I honor small lights within me; I tend them with care and let what must go, go.”

Record date, emotion, and whether you released or kept the light; look for a rising theme.
4+ times
Map where the jar appears (room, person, feeling) and begin a weekly ritual to intentionally release one thing.
