The Ritual

1. Prepare with intention
   While steeping the tea, say:
   “This tea supports growing hearts and changing feelings.”

2. Mood Mapping
   Invite her to name or draw how she feels—no fixing, no explaining.
   Options:

   • “If your mood were weather, what would it be?”

   • “What color feels like today?”

3. Introduce the idea of cycles
   Very simply:
   “Feelings come and go—kind of like the moon. Nothing stays the same forever.”

4. Sip + Share
   She can share as much or as little as she wants. Listening is the ritual.

5. Anchor Phrase
   End together with:
   “I can feel many things and still be okay.”

• Emotional waves are normal

• Cycles exist before periods

• Tea = emotional regulation + reflection
