Put the ties you wish to cut into words, then let them go.

Rooted in the Buddhist idea of “severing ties,” Yuikiri is an online prayer rite for severing unseen “bad ties.”

The ritual journey

Six stages

The experience

Move slowly through six stages, from putting it into words to letting it go.

Settle your breathing and turn toward what you are feeling.

Put what you are carrying into words, for yourself.

III

Move the words you have written into the on-screen katashiro.

Part a single cord by hand and give the boundary a visible form.

Leave a short sentence for the person you are becoming.

Come to a quiet close with the cord tied anew.

A sense of closure arrives, like the breaking of dawn.

The main writing is discarded after you move on from it.

What you share here remains known only to you.

The Yuikiri prayer rite takes place entirely online.

Is what I write stored?

The main writing is not stored.

Will what I write be shared publicly?

What you write is known only to you. No one else will ever see it.

Can I stop partway through?

You may pause at any time. The entrance sent after purchase will return you to the stage that was saved.
