Stand beneath a threshold or lintel and breathe slowly three times, grounding into your feet.
Trace the invisible edge where wall becomes sky with your finger or with a visualization of a steady line.
Light a sprig of rosemary or cedar; offer gratitude for the shelter you have and name one small repair to make.
Write one boundary you will honor on a scrap of paper and put it in a drawer or small box.
Affirmation
“I honor the edges that hold me; I mend what needs repair and allow beauty to arise from care.”
