00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>You have arrived somewhere, not at the end. The nervous

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>system does not work in endings. It works in thresholds,

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>in the quiet moments where one territory gives way to another.

4
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>You are at a threshold, and before you cross it,

5
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>pause here, breathe Feel the particular quality of this breath.

6
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Not the breath of someone beginning, not even the breath

7
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of someone in the middle, but the breath of someone

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>who has been doing this long enough that the doing

9
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>has changed them. Feel that change, not in the mind,

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 1>in the body, in the quality of the stillness, in

11
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>the particular way. The nervous system settles into this moment

12
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>not because nothing difficult is present, but because something steady

13
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>is something that was not there when this art began.
