Attention
Choose one anchor — breath, body or sound — and return each time the mind leaves.

TRAIN THE RETURN
Meditation is not forcing the mind to become empty. It is noticing that attention wandered and practising the return without aggression.
Enter the system ↓01 / THE FOUNDATION
Choose one anchor — breath, body or sound — and return each time the mind leaves.
Observe thoughts as events, not instructions. The goal is a better relationship with mental activity.
Use the same pause during work, conflict and trading: notice, breathe and choose the next useful action.
Regular practice before longer sessions.
02 / THE PROTOCOL
Use the same sequence until good decisions become easier to reproduce under pressure.
Sit upright, soften the gaze and feel natural breathing.
When attention moves, note ‘thinking’, ‘planning’ or ‘feeling’ without building another story.
Come back to the anchor. The return is the repetition that trains attention.
Name one quality to carry into the next hour: patience, courage or precision.
