Hold your dominant thumb in your other hand and breathe slowly three times, naming one thing you intend to keep.
Place a small red stone (carnelian/red jasper) over the thumb for five minutes while visualizing loosening any needless grip.
Open your hand and speak aloud one small action you will take to embody that intention.
Affirmation
“I have the right to hold what serves me and to release what no longer does.”
