With your eyes closed and your face gently turned towards daylight, notice the warm ochre field glowing through your eyelids. Follow its shifting colour, drifting phosphenes and faint warmth on the skin, returning whenever thought pulls you away to the quiet work of light already happening.

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