Free Root tip

Five quiet minutes. Feet on the floor. No special gear.

Sit where you are. Feel both feet. If you are standing, let the floor take a little more of your weight. If you are sitting, uncross your ankles.

Breathe in through the nose for a comfortable count. Breathe out a little longer than you breathed in. Do that five times. On the longer exhale, notice the chair, the floor, or the bed holding you.

That is the Root tip. Red, earth, belonging. A metaphor for feeling steady, not a treatment and not a test.

When you want a longer map, read the Seven Petals Guide or the evening practice.
