i spend a lot of time weighing my kit in preparation
to get it below 6kg

.

?how can i start the camino with the minimum mental baggage
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Go hiking in the Helderberg reserve, Silvermine and Noordhoek Peak.
On each hike, take a pebble with you that represents mental baggage.
Rub all your cares into the pebble as you hike.
When you get to the cave - or the lookout - leave the pebble there.
This will prepare you for the camino!
