Opening Reflection
When loyalty is twisted into a leash, it becomes something far from devotion. It starts as a gentle request, then grows sharp, insisting you stay small to keep someone else comfortable. This reflection invites you to examine the moment you first felt peace become a bargaining chip. You are not meant to bleed yourself dry to prove your steadiness. Loyalty offered freely is sacred; loyalty demanded is control. Here, you reclaim the right to stand where your spirit breathes, not where someone else’s fear places you.
Invocation
May coerced loyalty crumble and return its burden to its maker.
Method
Set a small candle before you and steady your breath until the room settles. Picture the person who wielded your loyalty like a tool, treating your care as a debt. Do not call their name; focus only on the pattern. Imagine a cord stretching between you, woven from promises you never agreed to and expectations that grew heavier each year. See how the cord tightens every time you try to choose yourself. In your mind’s hand, let a ceremonial knife appear—its edge shaped from your clarity and your refusal to be owned. Lift it slowly. Speak of what their demands cost you: the exhaustion, the hesitation, the shrinking of your own needs. When your breath steadies, cut the cord in one clean stroke. Watch it fall without recoil, leaving behind no shrapnel, no lingering hooks. Let the severed ends dissolve into smoke and drift back to their origin. You are not responsible for holding what was never given with love.
Closure & Aftercare
Sit quietly as the space around you adjusts to the absence of that old pull. Notice how your breath moves more freely now, how your chest loosens without the weight of someone else’s expectations pressing inward. This separation is not cruelty; it is a return to natural balance. You honored what was real and released what was false. When you stand, do so without apology, carrying only the loyalty that arises from choice, not pressure.
Safety Notes
If emotions rise afterward, pause and drink water before continuing your day.
Journaling Follow-up
Write what loyalty feels like when it is freely chosen, not demanded.
