SELF-GUIDED PRACTICE

How to practice

  1. Sit comfortably and choose a short neutral word or phrase that does not create pressure.
  2. Let the phrase be simple, such as calm, here, I am here, or one steady word of your choice.
  3. Repeat it silently in the mind at an easy rhythm, either with the breath or independent of it.
  4. Keep the mental tone gentle and clear, like speaking quietly to yourself.
  5. When thoughts take over, notice the break and begin the phrase again without criticism.
  6. If the words become mechanical, slow down and feel one breath or body contact point before continuing.
  7. Stay with the same phrase for the whole session so the mind has one stable track.
  8. End by letting the phrase fade and resting for a few natural breaths.

Stay comfortable. You can stop at any time or return to your natural breath.
