contemplation practice
Wordless Prayer
Before you begin
Choose a quiet seat. This practice uses no words after the instructions — silence is the method.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
Settle
Slow your breathing and let the body's noise subside for a minute.
Consent
Silently agree to be present to whatever the silence holds — nothing to achieve, nothing to perform.
Rest
Remain in wordless attentiveness. When thoughts arise, let them pass like weather.
Return
Let one word of thanks — or none — close the silence.
Accessibility
Fully text-guided; a timer with a gentle tone is optional, not required.
How long do you have?
Or read through it quietly above, at your own pace.
