Who this suits
People with some practice behind them who want to work with difficulty rather than around it.
When to use it
Not for acute distress or crisis. Best on an ordinary day, with something moderate.
A note on the approach
This one carries a caution at the top rather than buried in the small print, and it asks you to choose something moderate rather than the hardest thing you are carrying. Stopping partway is framed as a skill, not a failure, because knowing when to stop is the part that makes this kind of practice safe.
A note before we begin. This practice involves bringing something difficult to mind on purpose, and that isn't right for every day or every person. If you are in acute distress, in crisis, or working with trauma, this is not the practice to do alone. Grounding practices are more useful in those moments, and there is no hierarchy in which practice you choose.
