Attention wanders like a dog following scents across a field; the practice is not keeping it perfectly still, but noticing when it has gone. Each gentle return to the breath, a sound or the feel of air on the skin becomes a complete repetition. Focus grows through coming back, without scolding or strain.

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
Coming Back is a guided audio session from Salūs — part of the calm focus collection, narrated by Marco Vella.
