Sit down. Put the phone flat on the table if you can.
Below is one line, drawn at this moment from all the wonders written in these pages. It was not chosen for you by a person, and it was not chosen by an algorithm that knows anything about you. Take it as it is.
Breathe with the circle. Read the line four or five times, slowly, until one word stands out — then stay with that word. That is the whole method. It is fifteen hundred years old and there is nothing else to it.

- 1
Read the line once, out loud if you are alone.
- 2
Breathe with the circle for four rounds without reading anything.
- 3

- 4
Say that word to God, on its own, however you address Him.
- 5
Stay in the silence afterwards. That silence is the point; the words were only the door.
