The principle celebrated on the first day of Kwanzaa is Umoja, which means "unity." Today, work on a rededication to your own spiritual unity. Safely light a blue candle. Say and feel these words:

Today, I do not start anew, but I do begin again.
Each day is a new beginning, a new step along my path.
Today, I begin again with harmony, peace, and unity in my heart and in my spirit.

Spend as much time as you like in meditation and journal about your results. Extinguish the candle.
