Minute 0 to 2: Sit and Settle
Choose a chair, cushion, or edge of the bed. Let the spine be upright but not rigid, and notice the points of contact with the floor or seat.
Minute 2 to 6: Follow the Breath
Place attention on the breath at the nose, chest, or belly. When attention wanders, label it gently and return to the next breath.
Minute 6 to 8: Open Awareness
Let sounds, sensations, and thoughts come and go without chasing them. The practice is noticing, not forcing silence.
Minute 8 to 10: Choose the Next Step
Before standing, name one clear intention for the morning. Keep it ordinary and actionable, such as answering the first message calmly.
