Day 32 Entry

This morning’s sit was pretty straightforward. I was already calm going in, and it left me even calmer, more grounded, more real. Nothing dramatic — just that clean, settled kind of stillness that doesn’t need to prove itself.

‍

I sat again later in the morning, and halfway through, I dozed off a little. But that, too, felt right. The important thing isn’t the uninterrupted focus; it’s the trust. Each time we sit, we show our bodies that they can rest in our presence — that they can lean on our decisions. That’s the quiet work that builds the bond we’ll need to rise to higher levels.

‍

By evening, that work began to show. I noticed the same lesson repeating in daily life — the excitement that used to hijack my calm now comes like a wave I can ride. Post-dinner, I felt that familiar rush, almost like sitting before Christmas, waiting for all the great things to come. But instead of being carried away, I stayed steady. Excitement no longer means urgency. It just means I’m alive and aligned.

‍

The body is relearning trust. It’s beginning to understand that it doesn’t have to monitor every moment for safety or falsehood. It can finally breathe, taste, and rest in the simple truth of being here.

‍

And that’s the real meditation — not just sitting still, but living without armor.
