Start with what matters today.
Relief Precedes Healing is the principle behind the Relief Recipe: attend to pain or suffering first, making room for what comes next.
That next thing may be rest, attention, learning, or a more workable day. The aim is not to turn every moment into a project of fixing yourself.
Feeling better and getting well are different.
Relief can be meaningful while an underlying condition remains. A changed feeling does not, by itself, establish biological repair or a cure.
Make room for a life, not just a practice.
The larger question is what becomes possible with the capacity you have today. Sometimes that means movement. Sometimes it means a supported position, a pause, or being able to participate without spending all your energy.
