3-step Mini Ritual
Sit quietly and breathe into the place the knot appears in the body or story.
Name aloud the tie: what is being held together or what you fear will come apart.
Take a cord or ribbon and either braid to honor or gently untie to symbolize release.
Close by placing hands over the chest and repeating a short release phrase.
Affirmation
“I can choose which ties to honor and which to loosen with care.”
Next 24 hours
