Find somewhere you can be still for a few moments. Sit or stand — whatever feels right.
Take a couple of easy breaths. Nothing fancy. Just in through the chest, and out. Let the breath be natural, no holds, no counting. Just a gentle flow.
breathe with this until you feel present
Step 02
Build your cylinder
Imagine a cylinder in front of you. It is luminous, transparent — with a door that slides around its curve.
Choose the colour that feels right today.
Silver — as Louise sees it
Step 03
Place it in the cylinder
The door is open. Bring the feeling forward — whatever triggered you, whatever is sitting in your chest right now.
Put it in. The anger, the pain, the smallness, the self-talk. All of it.
Step 04
Speak what is true
While that energy sits in the cylinder, turn toward what you know is real. Choose one or more — or hold them all quietly in your awareness.
Step 05
Seal the cylinder
Everything is inside. Now let the door slide shut — slowly, gently — around the curve of the cylinder.
Step 06
The violet flame
Invite the violet flame of transmutation. You are not destroying what is in the cylinder — you are returning it to pure energy. Let it rise slowly, let it work.
Step 07
Release it
Let it go. No expectation. No checking whether it worked. No holding on to the edges of it.
Just release. The cylinder and everything in it returns to pure energy. It is done.
Step 08
Return to yourself
Just breathe. Allow the feeling of wholeness to come back in on the breath. You are not becoming something new — you are returning to what was always true.
