Ritual – Releasing the Shadow Line

Find a quiet space. Light a candle.

Close your eyes and call her to stand before you.

Not in anger. Not in blame.

But in truth.

Say gently, from the center of your soul:

“You are no longer mine to carry.
Your pain is not my debt.
Your path is not my responsibility.
You taught me through silence, through absence, through resistance.
And now, I have learned.
I release you from my field.
I forgive what I cannot understand.
I send you light to find your way.
But I walk forward without you.
You may go now.
And I will remain — whole, free, and sovereign.”

Blow out the candle when you feel ready.

And whisper: “Amen. It is done.”
