Moderator note

No active Second Sky protocols outside Second Sky Watch. Begin with grounding. Do not practise while distressed. Meridian supplies the formal terminology; members remain responsible for their own interpretations.

Late sitting, no conclusion

A member photo from a first-signal thread. The room matters less than the discipline of noticing what is actually felt.

Come back to the room

Water, a blanket and an ordinary pause after practice. Grounding is part of the work, not an interruption to it.

Counterplane practice is not confined to the night room. This one was posted from the deck after breakfast.

Moderation circle

The Other Side Forum is moderated for pace, grounding and claim discipline. Members describe experiences in their own terms. Threads that escalate are slowed, moved or locked with a summary rather than deleted.

Featured excerpt

"Janus Mudra is not a symbol you perform at the world. It is a way of holding the world at the solar plexus: Primary above, Counterplane below, the palms allowing opposed resonance without forcing contact."
