Say out loud : I release you , old box .
I was safe and comfortable in there , but that was the old me .
Now I am free . I am powerful .
I choose what I believe from this moment forward .
And so it is .

Dismantle your box .
Figuratively take your box apart . Pull the walls down and throw them to the ground . Pull up the bottom and rip it apart . Get all the pieces and make a pile on the floor . Take a moment and feel your power .
Render your box to dust .
All that ’ s left is to transmute the remains of the box by stomping it into the ground . Jump on it a few times . Bring your hands downs to the floor and drum on it . Then , clap your hands together and make a big sound to finish this transformative ritual .
