The Soul & the Scale · Sunrise sits

Your first week.

Seven short sits, one a morning. Each day adds one small thing. If you miss a morning, just pick up where you left off.

  1. ArriveSit down, face the light, and arrive. Nothing to do yet.
  2. BreatheCount ten slow breaths out. Lose count, start again. That's the practice.
  3. ListenClose your eyes. Find the farthest sound, then the nearest, then your own breath.
  4. HumHum one low note on each breath out. Feel it in your chest, then let it go quiet.
  5. Feel the groundFeel your weight go down into the seat, the seat into the floor, the floor into the earth.
  6. Notice lightEyes open and soft. Watch the light change on one wall or one tree. Don't name it.
  7. Sit with nothingNo count, no hum, no task. Sit until the time is up. Then notice: you sat seven mornings.

Same seat each day if you can. Phone on silent, face down. A glass of water after.
