Sit with your feet on the floor and breathe slowly until you feel reasonably stable and present.

Light a candle and say that you are willing to see what you must see for your growth and healing.

Write freely for ten to fifteen minutes about whatever is arising without editing or judging yourself.

Place your hand over your heart and acknowledge that facing these truths is an act of courage not failure.

Extinguish the candle thank yourself for doing the work and follow the ritual with something gentle like tea or stretching.
