3-step Mini Ritual
Ground: sit, breathe, place feet on the floor and name one thing you protect
Trace the barrier: with finger or visualization, outline the edge and speak its purpose aloud
Ask: 'Does this keep me safe or keep me stuck?' then soften the parts that feel stuck
Seal with breath: imagine a warm light reinforcing healthy edges, then release excess weight
Affirmation
“I honor my limits with kindness; I open space where needed and close what protects my growth.”

Note location, who is inside/outside, your feeling on seeing the barricade; observe whether it holds or falls.
