Opening Reflection
Some people sculpt a persona so polished it gleams like a shield, yet every gesture is edged. This reflection acknowledges how it feels when someone’s crafted identity becomes a tool meant to unsettle you, to push shadows into your sense of self. Here, you do not meet their performance with force; you meet it with clarity. The smoke in this rite rises through their constructed image and reveals the strain beneath it. You are not seeking collapse, only truth. Let this moment guide you back to your own steadiness, untouched by their projection.
Invocation
Let their sharpened persona dissolve and return its weight to its creator.
Method
Sit somewhere quiet, letting a dim light soften the room’s edges. Place a small bowl before you, something plain enough to mirror only shape and shadow. Imagine the weaponized persona lifting from that surface like thin smoke, rising without resistance. This smoke is not threat; it is merely the residue of someone else’s performance drifting free of you. With each inhale, draw your presence back into your body. With each exhale, send that smoke curling away, carrying every sharpened gesture back to the hands that crafted it. Do not speak their name. Focus only on how their persona pressed against your boundaries, the discomfort it left in your chest or jaw. Touch the bowl’s rim with your fingertips, inviting steadiness into your breath. Let the smoke gather shape in your mind, then guide it back toward its source, neither cruel nor passive—simply returning what is not yours to bear. When the image loosens, finish with one slow, deliberate exhale.
Closure & Aftercare
Remain seated for a brief moment, letting the air settle around you. Notice how the tension in your body shifts now that the persona directed at you has been released. You are not the mirror they hoped you would be. You stand in your own outline, unaltered. When you rise, carry the truth that someone else’s performance cannot shape your reality unless you hold it. Your clarity is yours again.
Safety Notes
Stay with breath; pause if overwhelm rises and return when steadier.
