Entering A Quieter Beginning
This opening lesson invites a gentle arrival into the course and the year ahead. Rather than setting intentions or goals, the focus is on settling into the present moment and allowing the body to land. Through simple reflection and guided awareness, listeners are supported in beginning from where they already are.
Lição 3
Letting The Body Set The Pace
In this lesson, attention turns to the body’s natural rhythms. Listeners are invited to notice pace without trying to manage or change it, allowing awareness of how the body signals rest, movement, and pause. The practice supports listening inwardly and honoring a steadier, more responsive tempo.
Lição 4
Releasing The Urgency To Improve
This lesson explores the subtle pressure to fix, optimize, or move ahead. Through gentle observation, listeners are guided to notice how urgency shows up and what becomes possible when that pressure softens. The practice emphasizes allowing the moment to be incomplete, without needing resolution.
Lição 5
Listening Beneath The Noise Of Expectation
Here, the focus is on expectation — the often-unnoticed ideas about how things should be. This lesson supports awareness of how expectations shape experience and how attention can return to direct sensation beneath them. The practice invites openness and presence without effort or evaluation.
Lição 6
Allowing The Year To Unfold Slowly
This lesson offers a different way of relating to time. Rather than approaching the year as something to manage or rush through, listeners are invited to sense how time is experienced in the body. The guided practice supports allowing unfolding at a natural pace, without force.
Lição 7
Carrying Quiet Into Daily Life
The final lesson focuses on integration. Listeners are invited to notice how presence and quiet awareness can move with them into ordinary moments of daily life. The practice emphasizes continuity rather than completion, supporting a gentle return to awareness as life continues.
