Headphones help. Find a comfortable seat.
The practice, in words
- 01Go gently. You can stop at any moment. Let's begin with a few slow breaths.
- 02Now picture a soft, warm light in the room with you. Let it fill the space.
- 03Bring one memory into the light. Just look at it. Don't push it away.
- 04Breathe. Let the feeling come, and let it pass, like a wave.
- 05When it softens, place your hand on your heart, and say: this happened. I'm still here.
- 06Rest here as long as you need. You were brave to look.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.
What it means
Quiet moments hold things worth hearing about yourself. Stay awake to them instead of rushing past.
