THE STUCK POINT / REUSABLE PRACTICE

Regulate

When the intensity rises, deciding what to do next becomes its own demand.

1. 1

   Pause and look toward one ordinary object.

2. 2

   Name its color and shape. Notice another object or sound.

3. 3

   Decide whether there is room for one small choice or whether you need support.

What is the practice for?

The entry point helps choose a practice. The need helps choose what comes after it. Consider what this opening makes possible for protection, connection, self-respect, choice, or meaning.

After you try it.

What did you do? What did it make possible? What still needs attention?

Choose a safe, manageable situation. Practical help and necessary care take priority. Educational practice adapted from Chapter 11 of The Stuck Point.
