A simple jasmine evening ritual

1. Prepare the room. Clear one small area and dim the light.
2. Choose a subtle fragrance source. Light a candle or use a gentle room fragrance.
3. Notice the atmosphere. Let the floral note become part of the room rather than the focus.
4. Choose one calming activity. Read, journal, stretch or sit quietly for a few minutes.
5. Close the ritual deliberately. Extinguish the flame safely and leave the room feeling calm and complete.
