1. Getting Started

Think about how you learn to swim - not by memorizing techniques, but by gradually developing comfort in water through direct experience. Getting started with the three-body pattern works similarly. It's not about perfect understanding but about beginning to recognize and work with patterns that are already part of your experience.

These aren't exercises to master but invitations to explore what's already present. Like learning any new skill, we start with what's natural and build from there, allowing understanding to develop through actual engagement.

Each area we explore offers different ways to begin:

• First Steps - How to start where you are

  • Finding your entry point

  • Starting where you are

  • Working with what's present

  • Building from direct experience

• Basic Pattern Recognition - How to notice what's already happening

  • Noticing natural divisions

  • Feeling transitions

  • Sensing boundaries

  • Reading flow

• Simple Integration Exercises - How to bring awareness together

  • Physical awareness

  • Mental engagement

  • Emotional connection

  • System sensitivity

Remember: You don't need special conditions or perfect understanding to begin. Like learning to walk or talk, development happens naturally through engagement over time.

The goal isn't to achieve mastery but to start recognizing and working with patterns that are already part of your experience. Each small step builds naturally into the next, creating foundation for everything that follows.
