**Step‑by‑Step Guidance for Healing Practice**
1. Before each workout, sit quietly for 30 seconds and breathe naturally.
2. Verbally state a concise, positive intention (“I support my spine’s stability today”).
3. Visualize the specific muscles working and the desired outcome.
4. Write the intention on a small card and place it on your equipment.
5. Begin the session, recalling the phrasing whenever you feel fatigue.
6. After the workout, note any differences in perceived exertion and soreness.
7. Adjust the wording weekly to keep it specific and meaningful.
8. Pair the intention with a short post‑exercise stretch while reaffirming the goal.
9. Review a monthly log to see patterns of progress linked to intent quality.
10. Celebrate incremental gains verbally to reinforce the brain‑body loop.
