The sun's daily passage as a model for the arc of a single day in a human life.
Ra was the pre-eminent solar deity of ancient Egypt — associated with light, life, kingship, and the maintenance of order against chaos. Texts describe the sun travelling by barque across the sky by day and through the Duat, the netherworld, by night, emerging renewed at dawn. Ra appears in different forms across the cycle: Khepri at the rising, Ra at zenith, Atum at the setting, and merges with other deities such as Amun-Ra in later periods.
Careful: Ra is a religious and symbolic figure. This experience does not treat Ra as an energy force detectable by modern instruments.
Khepri, the rising form — light returning at the horizon after the night journey. Beginnings are fragile and worth protecting.
Sit facing the brightest window. Watch light arrive without narrating it.
Inhale 4 · hold 2 · exhale 6, for ten rounds.
Do one thing before you open any screen.
"What is beginning in me that I have not yet spoken aloud?"
"What part of me is currently in the light?"
"What part of me is currently travelling through the night?"
