This is your foundation. Before stepping into each reflection, receive three tools that hold you steady: the Ceremony Orientation Booklet (ritual scaffolding), the AI Orientation Guide (how to use the mirror), and the Quick-Start sheet (one-page ritual checklist). These resources clarify what this arc asks of you, how to move safely, and where to find support. Start here — then step into Reflection 1 when you feel ready.
This is the first step in your 13-week arc. Each reflection will hold a mirror, a question, and a way back into yourself. They are designed to feel different from casual journaling prompts — concise but potent, aimed at pulling you into real work, not just words on a page. The arc will deepen as you go.
The first true descent. This reflection invites you to step deeper into the quiet, stubborn voice that holds what you’ve left unsaid. Through breath, ritual, and guided reflection, you will meet the ember beneath the words and begin to release what no longer serves your path.
The ember grows hotter. In this reflection, you enter the Chamber of Bone & Shadow—the place where truth hides beneath strength and silence. Here you will confront what your body and memory already know, naming what has long been unspoken.
This descent is not punishment but preparation, softening you for the fire that will reshape you.
Breathe. Listen. The bone remembers.
