Warming In

13 min

Focus rarely arrives the instant you sit down. Using the image of a cold engine warming through its rough idle, this practice stays with the residue, restlessness and urge to switch that mark the first minutes of attention. Smoothness comes not from trying harder, but from remaining long enough for the mind to settle into its own steady running.

Clear, grounding, light

Clear and grounding, present without weight — a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
