The Purpose

The eight Off-Cushion layers are your operating system for daily life. They are the tactics you use in the meeting, the argument, or the deep work session.
But you cannot execute a tactic if you don't have the capacity to perform it.
You can't "Decode Emotion" (Layer 5) if you can't feel your body.
You can't "Deconstruct Cravings" (Layer 7) if you can't spot a reaction.
This Awareness Training is the Gym.
Here, we isolate the specific mental muscles required to run the 8 Layers. We train them in a controlled environment (seated practice) so they are ready to fire when you need them in the chaos of real life.

The Map: How the Awareness Training Connects

We have condensed the 8 conceptual layers into 4 Practical Training Levels. Each level builds the specific capacity needed for a set of real-world protocols.
Level
The Skill You Build
The Real-World Layer It Powers
1: Somatic
The Anchor: Ability to stabilise attention in the physical body and install safety.
L1 (Body) – Physiological Regulation
L2 (Thought) - Basic Detection (Noticing)
L3 (Well-Being) – Capacity & Recovery
2: Narrative and Emotion
The Gatekeeper: Ability to distinguish functional thinking from emotional stories.
L2 (Thought) – Cognitive Output (Deconstruction)
L4 (Narrative) – Identity Code
L5 (Emotion) – Signal Processing
3: Valence
The Filter: Ability to feel "Pleasant", "Unpleasant" or “Neutral” without automatically reacting.
L6 (Valence) – The Perception Filter
L7 (Reactivity) – Executive Override
4: Meta
The Shift: Ability to zoom out from the content of experience to the context (Awareness itself).
L8 (Meta-Awareness) – The Executive View
How do I know what level I am today? Whether I have leveled up tomorrow? And what I should be doing to make progress?

Instructions for Use

  • Sequential Progression: Do not jump ahead. Mastery of Levels 1 and 2 are required before progression to Levels 3 and 4.
  • The "10-Minute Rule": These tracks are short by design. Consistency beats duration. 10 minutes daily is superior to 60 minutes weekly.
  • The Daily Operating System (The Loop):
      1. Wake Up: Execute The Morning Prime (20 Seconds). Connect to your Why and set the search parameters for the day.
      1. Morning: Do the Neural Conditioning (The Gym). This builds the muscle you will need later.
      1. Day: Apply the Off-Cushion Protocols (The Field). Use your new capacity to handle real-world stress.
      1. Bedtime: Execute The Evening Review (60 Seconds). Lock in the wins and install the positive data before sleep.
