AN OPTIONAL PAUSE

Feet and Chair Support

Notice one comfortable point of support, with alternatives to body attention.

Educational self-help, not diagnosis or treatment. If difficulties persist, worsen or affect daily life, seek qualified support. If there is immediate danger, use local emergency or urgent care services; this website is not monitored for emergencies.

Your pace · no required duration · sound off

Ready when you are

A small pause, with choices.

You can read all the steps below before starting. Keep your eyes open, skip any step or stop whenever you choose.

Not started.

Optional soft sound

Original synthesized audio, not recorded nature or therapy audio. Start softly; silence is always available.

Sound off.

The complete written practice

  1. Stay in your usual comfortable position. There is no correct posture to copy and no need to move a painful area.
  2. If comfortable, notice one place where a chair, cushion or floor supports you. You can instead look at the chair or describe it.
  3. Let the support remain ordinary; do not press down, tighten muscles or test how much you can feel.
  4. Return your attention to the room or your next task. Stop sooner if body attention is unhelpful.

Make it fit the moment

Use whatever support fits your body and equipment. This is not a posture correction, rehabilitation exercise or instruction to ignore discomfort.

No timer advances these steps. Use Next to continue or skip, Previous to revisit, and Stop to end. There is no score or completion record. Closing your eyes, changing your breathing and using sound are optional; this practice never requires them.

Sound and stopping

Warm ambient, quiet piano-like tones and rain-like texture are synthesized in your browser. Nothing plays until you choose Play sound. Volume starts low and can be changed. Stopping or finishing the pause stops sound; sound also stops when the tab is hidden. The sounds are not recordings of nature or clinically tested therapeutic audio.
