Soft Gaze
Best for: screen-tired eyes, soft focus, widening attention
This mindfulness session works with the simple but overlooked act of seeing. Maya guides you to rest the eyes on one quiet point while letting attention widen into the full visual field: the centre, the blurred edges, the room above and below the gaze, and any movement that appears without needing to be followed. The practice is not about staring or visual effort; it is about letting the eyes stop working so hard while the world is still allowed to arrive. A grounded session for screen-tired eyes, overstimulated attention, and moments when the mind has been taking aim all day.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
