Entry – Gentle grounding

Establishing contact without searching: gravity, support, mild presence, and being here without adjusting.


Recognition – Post-strain awareness

The after-state of effort: lag, echoes, unbracing, low energy that is stable, and “nothing required next.”


Depth – Integration window

When experience settles inward: quiet digesting, internal reordering, and integration without commentary.


Settling – Stabilization

When things feel steady enough: containment, neutral stability, and remaining without momentum or direction pressure.
