Part 1: The Memory Unfolding (20 minutes)
Kunzite Journal Prompt: "Hold the crystal to your chest. Breathe deeply until you sense warmth radiating through your palms. Let your mind wander to a recurring emotional pattern that frustrates you.

Close by placing Kunzite on your journal and reciting: "What I once hid in shadow, I now greet as teacher. Through love’s prism, my wounds reveal their light."
