BURN AWAY A BAD HABIT

If there is a stubborn habit you'd like to break, try this ritual. This is best performed during the waning moon, and is particularly supportive of quitting substances (alcohol, caffeine, food, drugs, etc.).

ITEMS NEEDED

• Fireproof receptacle

• Paper

• Marker or Pen

• Wooden match

WHAT TO DO

• Write on the piece of paper the habit you wish to break (lying, cheating, manipulating, coffee, soda, overeating --- anything).

• Light the match and set the paper afire, holding it over the receptacle.

• Affirm several times:

• I release all attachments to ______. I no longer need ___________________. ____________ has no control over me or my life.

Drop the burning paper into the receptacle. As it burns, visualize the habit dissolving.

• It takes time to create and break habits. If you continue to feel bound by the habit, repeat this ritual each night until the moon is new. Stop, then resume every night between the next full moon and the next new moon until you see results.
