Neurocycle

Breathing, meditation, and other settling activities are useful preparation but are not presented as complete solutions. The Neurocycle begins with preparation and then proceeds through gather awareness, reflect, write or draw, recheck, and active reach. Writing or drawing externalizes thoughts in messy forms rather than requiring polished journaling. Active reach closes the Neurocycle with a small intentional action or next step. The Neurocycle is presented as a process for reverse-engineering internal patterns.
