Opening Reflection
Some people move through your life leaving a haze behind them, a drifting fog of confusion that makes your thoughts feel less like your own. This reflection honors the moment you notice that fog for what it is—deliberate, shifting, meant to keep you unsteady. You are not here to chase explanations or decipher their intentions. You are here to let the smoke rise through the confusion they created and send every tangled thread back where it belongs. In this rite, your clarity returns, sharp and quiet, untouched by their distortion.
Invocation
Let the confusion fog lift and return cleanly to its maker.
Method
Sit in a dim and quiet space where the air feels still. Place a small bowl before you, something plain and cool beneath your fingertips. Imagine a column of smoke rising from its center, carrying the fog they created—every moment of confusion, every shifting answer, every deliberate haze meant to keep you searching. Watch the smoke coil upward, no longer heavy in your chest. Inhale slowly, reclaiming the pieces of yourself that were tangled in their distortion. Exhale with intention, guiding the smoke away from your body and back toward its source. Speak only of the feeling of confusion, not the person or the circumstances. Focus on the way the fog sat behind your eyes, the way it blurred your instincts. Touch the bowl’s rim to anchor your breath. As the smoke rises higher in your mind’s eye, let it gather the entire haze and drift it back across the space between you and its maker. When the last imagined wisp clears, release a long breath to seal the return.
Closure & Aftercare
When the smoke settles, sit with the clarity that remains. Notice how your thoughts feel different without the fog pressing against them. You are not required to carry confusion someone else created. Your mind is allowed to be sharp, quiet, and wholly yours. Rise knowing that what has returned to its source no longer lingers in your space, and the path ahead is easier to see.
Safety Notes
Pause if confusion spikes; ground with slow breaths before continuing.
