First, get a small hemp rope and open up the fibres Take seven strands of it, about twenty centimetres each and braid them into a new cord.
Before going to bed, pick it up with your thumb and index at each extremity and lift it up before your eyes.
Then concentrate for a few seconds and say:
"May the seven strands of this hemp cord tame my pride, daily."
Then remove one of the strands of the cord and say:
"May this strand keep the worlds vanities away from me, daily. So be it."
Put the small strand in a pocket or in a bag that you will wear the next day.
The following day, whenever you feel the temptation of pride or selfishness coming over you, touch it immediately .
Do the same thing every day for a week, each time taking a strand of the cord until there is no strands left.
