Before the Reading begins

What Foundation is, and what it is not.

Foundation is the methodology’s work of self — how you show up before anyone else is in view. It is not clinical care. It is not therapy. It is not trauma processing.

The methodology surfaces what it observes; you decide what to do with it. If something you bring touches what the methodology can’t hold — clinical care, crisis — the Crisis Referral directory is always one tap away.

Q1 · Active framework focus

Which framework is currently in focus.

Foundation is the methodology’s work of self. Five frameworks. Pick the one where the work currently meets you.

Q2 · Self-work readiness

Sitting with what won’t settle.

The methodology reads self-work readiness across the interior practice of sitting with recurring feeling. Pick the closest read.

Q3 · Self-work readiness

Engaging a chapter that speaks to your moment.

The methodology reads self-work readiness across the cadence of engaging methodology when it meets you. Pick the closest read.

Q4 · Reflection cadence

Your current reflective practice.

Pick all that apply. The methodology meets the cadence you bring.

Q5 · Recurring word/theme

A recurring word, feeling, or theme.

The Compass remembers what surfaces here. Three months from now, six months from now, when the same shape appears, the methodology will surface it.

A sentence or two — what’s a recurring word, feeling, or theme you’ve noticed in your reflections lately?

Up to 500 characters.

Q6 · Compass engagement

How the Compass meets you in self-work.

Pick all that apply. The Compass adapts to where you bring it.

Daily Prompt + Reflection Journal + Framework Library deepen as the Studio Foundation tools land. This Reading captures your preference; the Compass meets you there as it deepens.

Q7–Q11 · 5-Framework familiarity

Which Foundation frameworks are familiar to you.

Pick one read per framework.

Attention — Noticing what’s surfacing.

Discernment — Reading what holds vs what doesn’t.

Steadiness — Action chosen from steadiness vs action driven by reactivity.

Resolve — Holding what you’ve chosen.

Bearing — How you carry the work into every room.
