Noticing the Pull

13 min

A quiet practice for meeting the instant before a want becomes an action. Notice the pull to check, reach or escape without obeying it or pushing it away, and rest in the small gap where choice becomes possible. The aim is not willpower or refusal, but a more unhurried relationship with the urges that usually pass unnoticed through the day.

Soft, spacious, calm

Soft and spacious, with room between every line — lets a busy mind settle in its own time, never pushed.
