Why Threshold Moments Matter
A threshold marks transition rather than arrival.
Neuroscience shows anticipation activates emotional and physiological systems early.
Without awareness the nervous system enters heightened alert before events occur.
Preparation restores balance before stimulation peaks.
The Science of Inner Coherence
Inner coherence describes alignment between attention emotion and physiology.
When breath rhythm and focus stabilize the nervous system regulates efficiently.
Heart brain signaling becomes consistent under calm awareness.
This state improves emotional resilience and clarity.
What Preparation Actually Means
Preparation does not mean planning outcomes.
It means settling the internal environment first.
Awareness softens reactivity and restores choice.
Calm becomes available before interaction begins.
