Opening Reflection

There is a particular stillness in the moment someone’s shadow steps into the light. It is not dramatic or cruel; it is simply the truth arriving where it can finally be seen. You are not responsible for carrying their darkness or shielding them from what they cast. This rite helps you release the burden of interpreting their hidden motives and step aside as their own actions illuminate themselves. You honor the frustration and the grief, but you let the weight return to its rightful owner so your clarity can breathe again.

Invocation

Let their shadow rise where it belongs, not in me.

Method

Set a mirror and a candle before you, leaving the candle unlit for now. Sit with your back straight and breathe slowly until the room feels grounded. Imagine the shadow they’ve kept tucked behind excuses, charm, or confusion moving toward the mirror’s surface as a dim shape. You do not drag it forward; you allow it to travel on the path their actions already carved. Whisper that what is theirs can reveal itself without passing through your body. Light the candle and watch the flame steady. See it casting a soft glow over the mirror, illuminating the shape just enough to clarify where it ends and where you begin. Lift your hand and rest your fingertips near the mirror’s edge, acknowledging the boundary between your truth and theirs. You are not returning harm; you are returning ownership. When the air feels clearer and your breath loosens, extinguish the candle gently, signaling your release from holding the shadow for them.

Closure & Aftercare

Place the mirror face-down and let your shoulders soften. Their shadow is no longer tangled with your story. You do not need to make sense of it, soften it, or hide it. You have stepped back into your own light, leaving them to meet what they created. Allow your breath to settle into its natural rhythm and rest in the spaciousness that follows.

Safety Notes

Do not visualize their suffering. Stay with breath. Stop if overwhelm rises.
