How to use this map
- Return to Module 1 when you need grounding or perspective
- Return to Module 2 when pressure, urgency, or fatigue increase
- Revisit practices rather than pushing for more insight
- Use this as a reference — not a checklist
Part 1 is not something you complete and move on from. It’s a foundation you return to.
