Full Guided Practice Script & Cue Timeline
| Timestamp | Spoken Cue / Instruction | Pause |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00 | Sit upright. The spine long, the head level. | 15s |
| 0:20 | A wide snowfield before dawn. Blue, silent, absolutely cold. | 25s |
| 0:51 | The light is coming but has not arrived. The sky is getting paler at one edge. | 30s |
| 1:31 | Then the first of the sun touches the top of the snow, and that edge turns gold. | 35s |
| 2:17 | Watch the line of light move down the field toward you. Slowly. It takes minutes. | 40s |
| 3:06 | The snow does not melt. It is still cold. But it is lit now, and that is a different thing. | 45s |
| 4:04 | The light reaches where you are standing. | 60s |
| 5:08 | Warmth on the face, cold underfoot, both entirely clear. | 60s |
