Settling the Water
Before you begin
Bring the situation you are discerning. Name it in one plain sentence before you begin.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
Hold
Hold the situation in mind like a glass of stirred water. Do not stir further.
Breathe
Breathe slowly, letting the water of the mind settle at its own pace.
Notice
As things settle, notice what becomes visible: a motive, a fear, a simple fact.
Name the step
Let one honest next step surface. Small and clear beats grand and foggy.
Accessibility
Fully text-guided; the 'water' image is optional — stillness alone works.
How long do you have?
Or read through it quietly above, at your own pace.
