When little is possible
Small, optional steps for days with very little energy.
Six lessons for days with very little energy: arrive first, check your basic needs, and then choose one small step. Gentle can keep you company, but it can't treat depression.
The lessons
- 01Meditation · 6 min
Sitting with what's here
No goal and no task. We stay here, and we stay kind about it.
- 02Body practice · 6 min
Your body is still here
When your mind is blank, your body is a good place to be.
- 03Reflection · 6 min
Emptiness is a feeling too
Even emptiness can sometimes be noticed somewhere. We look carefully.
- 04Everyday practice · 6 min
One small movement
One tiny movement is enough. It doesn't have to get bigger today.
- 05Reflection · 6 min
The way you'd talk to a friend
We look for a sentence for yourself that's kind and believable at the same time.
- 06Everyday practice · 6 min
When more is possible again
We close the arc, carefully, and without promises.
The length is calculated, not estimated: it follows from the spoken text and the pauses inside it. What it says here is how long it takes.
How the course works
The lessons build on each other — lesson two knows what happened in lesson one and picks it up. You listen and follow; between the sentences there is silence, where nothing has to happen. You choose the voice and the background sound yourself, and if you play a lesson a second time you get a different welcome than the first time.
The first lesson is free, with no time limit. Everything else is part of Gentle Plus at $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, cancellable any time.
