“Imagination is not magic. It changes the dreamer, and the dreamer changes what happens next.”

[ A private practice ]

Three moves. No mystical shortcuts.

The practice is designed to be small enough to return to: hold something near attention, notice what remains, and choose one ordinary next action.

01

Seed

Choose a question, image, conversation, fear, or unfinished problem to carry near attention.

02

Trace

Record fragments from the night before the day explains them away. A feeling counts. Nothing counts, too.

03

Action

Ask what one concrete action makes the imagined thing slightly more actual, then do the work after.
