With eyes closed, attention follows the body’s quiet sense of position: the angle of a wrist, the space beside an elbow, the balance of the head and the outline of every limb. As the inner map widens, the body’s edges may feel softer than sight suggests. The practice settles into a steady recognition of being placed here, in this one shape.

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