- 2:06SPEAKER_00: The gap before the message arrives.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: The results come back.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: The decision gets made.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: Most of what makes that gap feel unbearable isn't the not knowing itself.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: It's that your breath tightens the second you enter it.

- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Tonight we're practicing something different.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Staying in the gap without holding your breath through it.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Breathing all the way through the part where you don't know yet.
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: There's a version of you who has already learned how to do this.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Not because the waiting got shorter or the answers came faster.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: They didn't, but because breath stopped feeling like something to survive the gap with and started feeling like the thing that was actually available the whole time.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: There was a time the not-knowing felt like something you had to brace against.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: Like the ground might not hold until you got confirmation.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: That's not true anymore.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: You learned the ground was already there under the question, not just after the answer.

- 4:19SPEAKER_00: Let your jaw unclenched.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: Notice your body can be the soft, even while a question is still open.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: There's nothing here for you to solve tonight.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: Whatever you're waiting on will resolve on its own timeline, not because you gripped it tighter.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Your only job right now is to keep breathing through the part where you don't know yet.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: This is the practice, breathing through the moment before you know.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: Instead of waiting for the moment after, let these affirmations settle.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: One at a time, you've been holding your breath through more of this than you realized.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: Let this land.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: I can breathe before I know the answer.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: Stay with that fullness in your breath a moment longer.

- 9:39SPEAKER_00: When you're ready, carry this with you.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: Whatever you're waiting to find out, you can breathe through the part before you know.
