Lorefire — Daily Practice Library

Lorefire is a library of tiny, repeatable practices. Norse-led, open to every lineage. Each takes about 1–2 minutes, uses ordinary things, and favors rhythm over perfection. Cultural and spiritual—non-clinical, consent-first—meant to sit beside professional care.

Nine-Breath Harvest (Evening)

Why: End the day without self-scolding by naming what actually happened.
How will I know? Bedtime feels noisy; you replay mistakes; can’t switch off.
Do it now: Take nine slow breaths. First 3: what you sowed (began). Next 3: what you tended (kept up). Last 3: how you rested (even tiny). One breath of thanks.
Token: Grain/shell.  Safety: Pause if strong feelings spike.

Threshold Sweep

Why: Mark the shift from “outside life” to “home life.”
How will I know? You bring work tone into the house; everyone’s tense at the door.
Do it now: Open door. One sweep out (let the day go), one in (welcome). Say: “Guest-right here.” Hand gesture works if no broom.
Token: Stone.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Morning Northing

Why: Orient before noise so the day has direction.
How will I know? You start scrolling; lose an hour; feel scattered by noon.
Do it now: Face a window/outside. Name sky, air, ground. Speak one sentence for today’s Sow (one tiny action you’ll begin).
Token: Seed/paper.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Tea of Thanks

Why: Pair warmth with gratitude so the body actually feels it.
How will I know? You’re irritable, rushing, or numb; small good things go unnoticed.
Do it now: Kettle on. Name three small mercies while it heats. Sip with three slow breaths (inhale nose ~4s, exhale mouth ~6s).
Token: Grain/shell.
Safety: Non-clinical.

One-Stitch Mend

Why: Repair builds dignity and calm.
How will I know? Little broken things nag at you; you feel behind on everything.
Do it now: Spend 90 seconds fixing one tiny thing (button, hinge, budget line, sentence). Stop after the first win.
Token: Seed/paper.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Guest-Right Script

Why: Hospitality with boundaries keeps peace.
How will I know? Visits drift into discomfort; needs go unsaid; resentment builds.
Do it now: “You’re welcome here. Water or tea? Here are the boundaries so we’re both comfortable: [state them]. Do you agree?” Get a yes.
Token: Grain.
Safety: Consent-first.

Nine-Step Walk

Why: Return attention to the body and slow the mind.
How will I know? You’re buzzing, doom-scrolling, or locked at your desk.
Do it now: Walk 9 slow steps; match breath to footfall (inhale as a foot lifts, exhale as it lands). Turn; 9 steps back.
Token: Stone.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Pocket Release

Why: Stop carrying what isn’t yours.
How will I know? You fix others’ moods; feel heavy after certain calls; say “it’s all on me.”
Do it now: Pinch thumb/forefinger as if holding the weight. Name it (“not my job today”). Open your hand; let it fall. Say: “Not mine Today.”
Token: Stone.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Before the Hard Call

Why: Steady your voice and message.
How will I know? You delay difficult calls; rehearse arguments; heart races.
Do it now: Three calm breaths (inhale ~4s, soft pause, exhale ~6s). Write one honest opening line you can truly say: “Here’s what I need / can offer today…”
Token: Grain.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Lorefire Table Grace

Why: A shared sentence creates shared rhythm.
How will I know? Meals feel rushed; screens win; talk skims the surface.
Do it now: “Thanks for the hands, the land, and the making. Guest-right at this table.” Participation is optional—consent applies.
Token: Grain.
Safety: Consent-first.

Nine-Day Covenant

Why: Repetition teaches the body to trust.
How will I know? You start big, stall, and feel ashamed; goals bounce around.
Do it now: Choose one tiny act to keep 9 days (fill a glass for morning, write one line, step outside once). Mark the start. Keep it; no make-ups needed.
Token: Seed/paper.
Safety: Non-clinical.

Dream Door (Gentle)

Why: Remember the night’s “briefing” without overthinking it.
How will I know? You wake with images then lose them; same issue loops by day.
Do it now: On waking, before moving, title the dream. Write 3 images + 1 feeling word. Later, do one small act it suggests (tidy a corner, send a note, short walk).
Token: Stone or grain.
Safety: If trauma memories surface, pause and seek appropriate care.

House note: All guidance here is cultural and spiritual—non-clinical, consent-first—and meant to complement professional care.
