time you cross one strand over another, more of your worries are caged inside the braid and away from your conscious mind. Tape the end of the braid. Remove the taped end from the table and fold it over to hold the other end of the braid. Hold the braid between your hands, close to your heart. Thank your hair for having been a part of you, and for carrying your anxieties away with it. Bury the hair in a flowerpot or in the ground, or loop it around a branch of a tree or bush to release your anxieties into nature.
