Anchor needs landscape · please rotate your phone sideways · the sweep needs the full width to do its work
when you begin · the screen will go full · the dot will move softly

where your eyes settle · your nervous system listens
your nervous system listens
A soft point moves across your screen. When you feel something settle, you tap. That is your anchor for this session.
Your body finds its own way back through your gaze. This is somatic work · slow · quiet · no analysis required.
Grounded in 5,000 years of gaze-based regulation · trataka · drishti · orienting · vagus nerve work.
If anything feels too much · cool down is always one tap away in the bottom-right.
each phase opens different work · pick what fits how you arrive
grounding · calming · settling the system
bringing up · moving through · releasing
changing old beliefs · rewriting the story
stepping into who you're becoming
we usually start with five minutes · the nervous system settles faster when you do not rush it · you can always extend mid-session if you want more time
5 minutes is the gentle entry · 15 is for deeper work
pick the one that lives most strongly in your body right now · or write your own
imagine someone who is not traumatized · confident · open · whose horizons keep expanding · what would that person want to feel more of
this mode can bring memory · emotion · or body sensation to the surface. if you are alone and feel unsupported · it is okay to return another time.
you set the pace
no right answer · this is your check-in
and
feet on the floor · breath slow · place your fingers gently at the back of your neck where it meets your skull · this is your brainstem · where you live and breathe
we are here now
look around · slowly · let your eyes wander · notice the corners · the light · the textures · the colors · feel the room hold you
find one place that calls you · a corner · a plant · a doorway · a patch of light · a window · somewhere that feels even slightly safe or grounded · this becomes your anchor
you set the pace
soft eyes · no rush · the place will choose you · the moment your gaze rests somewhere and feels even slightly held · that is the point
stay with that place
look around your room · slowly · find one place that feels safe, calm, grounded · a patch of light · a plant · a corner · something soft to your eyes
this is your refuge
gently bring the issue to mind · let yourself feel it · then look around for another place to rest your eyes while you feel that · anywhere different from your calm point
you can return to calm any time
let your eyes settle · soften them · breathe with the pulse · the room is holding you
we are here now
slowly scan from your head down · notice where you feel even slightly calm or grounded · chest · hands · soles of your feet · anywhere
stay with that place
the voice will lead you · the bilateral sound moves softly ear to ear · your breath becomes the rhythm
Find a place to sit or lie down · headphones if you have them · know that you can open your eyes any time
your inner field is the anchor
close your eyes · the voice will lead
follow with soft eyes · tap when something settles
you arrived
a settling
notice the shift
what softened · where in your body do you feel it
a word or a sentence (optional)
saved locally · only you see this
