Ritual: The Reflection of Golden Light

This ritual helps you open to the art of receiving — to say “yes” to love without guilt, without question, and without needing to earn it.

What you’ll need:

• A mirror (handheld or wall)

• A comfortable chair

• Optional: a cup of herbal tea (chamomile, rose, or vanilla)

How to begin:
Sit quietly before the mirror. Take three deep breaths, releasing the day. Feel the ground beneath your feet.

Gaze gently into your reflection — not as a critic, but as a witness. See the person who has survived, learned, given, and grown. See the one who still longs to be held.

With your hand over your heart, softly speak:

“I deserve the love I give to others.”

Let the words linger. Feel them in your chest, your throat, your eyes. Imagine golden light streaming down from above, entering your crown and flowing into your heart.

You might sip your tea afterward — a small act of receiving. With each sip, imagine nourishment filling you. End by whispering:

“Love flows to me easily, and I receive it fully.”
