guided on-ramp for main practice p2 [draft]:

(a) let bodymind wander [baseline, glue that can hold it all together] 30s-5 min

(b) if notice your bodymind doing something "good," just be like "alright, cool" 30s-5 min

(c) if notice that could do/add something good, gently try [ok if bodymind does it for you], if can’t, gently take foot off trying gas completely. 30s - 5 min

(d) if notice bodymind doing something "bad," just be like "alright, that’s ok" 30s-5 min

(e) if notice that you could stop something "bad" that’s already happening, gently try [ok if bodymind does it for you], if you find you can’t, just be like "alright, that’s ok" and gently take foot of trying gas completely 30s-5 min

(f) if notice that you could stop something "bad" from starting, gently try [ok if bodymind does it for you], if you find you can’t, just be like "alright, that’s ok" and gently take foot off trying gas completely 30s-5 min

(g) if there’s something that you want to be different, and it’s good/safe/ok to do the following, try gently directly inclining, willing, intending towards that desired difference to be actualized. if anything feels gummy, jammy, bad, forced then gently take foot off trying gas completely.

(h) explore deliberate or participatory surrender, acceptance, letting go, somewhat as per (a)

(i) now patiently, slowly interleave (a)-(h) in a single practice, as you are so moved or as salience changes 30s-5min

Notes:

• "logical closure: if good maintain or start; if bad stop or prevent"
• note that it's "bad" not bad (without the quotes)
• future-proofing: "take your foot off the gas" refers to the automobile gas pedal, an analog intensity/​degree/​aggregate/​recruitment/​flux control... [it's an imperfect metaphor]
