Begin using your magical force to change the world by  helping a friend who’s been going through a bad time. Here’s what you’ll need: 

• A picture of your friend (printed, or on your phone) 

• One pen 

• A piece of paper 

• (Optional) One green candle 

1. Sit in a comfortable place and light the green candle, if you  have it. Green symbolizes nature and nurture, and it’s often  used to encourage kindness, which is what you will do now.  

2. If you don’t have a green candle, you can swap it for any  green object or skip this step entirely. 

3. Write your friend’s details on the piece of paper: 

• Their name 

• Birthday 

• City where they live 

• Three qualities (e.g. funny, strong, loving) 

• One struggle (anxiety, fear, job loss, etc.)

4. Fold the paper and place it under your friend’s photo or  your phone.  

5. Now, look at the photo as if your friend is in the room,  right now. You don’t have to say anything to them but try to  feel their presence. 

6. Imagine sending them a positive light, like an energetic  hug. Allow your love for them to span out of your body and  give them a jolt of positivity, which they need right now. 

7. Then, say “I love you” three times out loud and blow the  candle to seal the ritual. Keep the note somewhere safe, like in a book or journal, to  repeat the ritual any time you want to send more kindness to  your friend. If you are a Reiki practitioner, certainly enable  your distance symbol along the way.
