✨ Steps:

1. Center Yourself
   • Sit comfortably.
   • Close your eyes.
   • Take seven deep, slow breaths, imagining you are breathing in white light and breathing out emotional heaviness.
   • Feel your body gently relax with every breath.
     
     
2. Write Down What You’re Ready to ReleaseOn the paper, write one or more emotional burdens you are willing to let go of.

   Examples:

   • “I release the pain of past betrayal.”
   • “I let go of fear about the future.”
   • “I release my attachment to needing control.”
     
     
3. Flower (or Leaf) Blessing
   • Take the flower or leaf.
   • Hold it in your hands over the bowl of water.
   • Whisper (softly or mentally):
     “As this leaf falls into the waters, so too shall my burdens dissolve and return to the earth.”
     
     
4. Release into the Water
   • Gently place the flower or leaf into the bowl of water.
   • Watch it float, drift, or sink naturally.
   • As you watch, visualize your emotional attachments releasing from your heart and mind, flowing into the water.
     
     
5. Affirmation of Surrender
   Say aloud or mentally:
   • “I trust the flow of life. I release what no longer serves me. I am free.”(Repeat 3 times if you wish to deepen the energy.)
     
     
6. Candle Lighting (Optional)
   • If using a candle, light it now.
   • Let it symbolize the new space you have created inside yourself — a space filled with peace, lightness, and possibility.
7. Dispose with Gratitude
   After the ritual:
   • Pour the water outside onto the earth (if possible), or down the sink with gratitude.
   • Dispose of the flower/leaf naturally.

As you do, say: “I release this with love and grace.”
