Nothing more needs to happen.

This window completes the entry phase by staying exactly as it is, letting grounding remain quiet, stable, and sufficient on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I "finish" grounding safely?

You Settle Into Contact. This closes the "grounding entry" by making the contact a "permanent background state." You don't "stop" being grounded; you just "stop noticing" it because it has become your "new floor." In the Meaning Density Model™, this is the "Final Settlement." You are grounded, you are supported, and you are "done" with the task of checking. You can now move into the world with your "structure" intact and your "identity" current.

What if I lose the contact later?

You don't "lose" it; you just "move" the entry band. The ground is always there. In this model, you don't panic when you stop feeling the floor. You just know it’s the "Stable Background." You can "re-orient" anytime with zero effort. By treating grounding as a "fact of life" rather than a "fragile state," you move into the Recovered Meaning Era, where your stability is "structural" and "portable," no matter where you go.
