Transcript

Return — Compact

Welcome. This is Return — notice drift, then come back softly.

[Pause 2s]

Make yourself comfortable — sitting, standing, whatever works. Eyes closed is fine — or a soft gaze.

[Pause 2s]

Rest somewhere simple — the breath, or the seat.

[Pause 4s]

If the mind has gone, notice that. Soft return. No story.

[Pause 5s]

Rest again.

[Pause 5s]

Drift may happen again. That is fine. Return again.

[Pause 5s]

Rest. Soft.

[Pause 5s]

You are practicing return — not perfect stillness.

[Pause 4s]

Soften. You can leave it here.

[Pause 3s]

Alright — that brings us to the end.

Do it with the audio a couple of times until you can come back on your own.

Thank you for coming back.
