Begin anywhere.

You don't have to start at Week 1, and you don't have to go in order. The eight weeks and the four seasons are a map, not a schedule. Some people walk it from beginning to end. Most wander. Both work.

Follow what captures you.

Open the Journey and look around. If a question stops you, answer it. If a pose or a mudra draws your eye, start there. If a week's theme speaks to what you're living through right now, go to that week. Interest is the best guide you have; trust it.

Everything is connected.

Each of the 52 cards is a complete plate: its questions, an affirmation, a haiku, a pose, a mudra and a breath. Start with any one of them and the card leads you to the rest. Answer a question, then try its mudra. Practice a pose, then journal what you felt.

Notice what you feel.

After a question or a practice, circle what you felt on the Chart of Emotions and how strongly, 1 to 10. Each entry adds to your PEIM, your Personal Emotions Imprint Map. Over time it shows you your own patterns: what you lean toward, what steadies you, what stirs you up. Patterns show up before answers do.

Small and repeatable beats ambitious and abandoned.

Ten honest minutes is enough. One question, one breath, one line in the journal. Come back tomorrow, or next week. You have a full year, and nothing expires while you're living your life.

Yoga is optional.

Choose "Just the journal" or "Include the yoga" any time in your settings. Nothing you've written is ever lost when you switch.

A few places to start, if you'd like a nudge:

• Answer Question 1 (A♠: Arriving).
• Pick any number from 1 to 102 that feels right today.
• Try a 5-minute mudra meditation, then circle what you feel.
• Open the week that matches the season you're in.

Your journal is private.

Only you can read your entries. They are stored encrypted, and I see only overall numbers, never what you write.
