Entry point
The gentlest transmission we run, and the best first one: seven short gates of attention practised at dawn in the moss garden.
Gate 1–2
Breath at the nostril, then the whole body breathing.
Gate 3–5
Sound, sensation and the space between thoughts.
Gate 6–7
Open awareness and the return to ordinary seeing.
If you have never sat before, start here. If you have sat for decades, start here too.
