I crossed a threshold through water.

It began in dreamtime — a ritual I did not initiate, but received.
I was guided, not instructed. Held, not corrected.
My head was moved gently through falling water, direction by direction, while my ears were protected from old echoes. I did not have to listen. I did not have to perform. I set down what I was carrying and let myself be there.

The dream did not ask me to understand it.
It asked me to trust it.

In waking life, my body answered.

I entered the salt chamber — silent, dim, star-lit — and let myself float. Weightless. Unburdened. Held by water dense enough to carry me without effort. My heartbeat slowed and synchronized with something larger than thought. I felt myself moving along the universal spiral, not ascending, not descending — simply belonging.

Before the float, I showered and repeated the movements from the dream, letting the water complete what it had begun. This time, I chose it. This time, my body knew why.

The reset was not dramatic.
It was total.

Anxiety softened. Vigilance released.
My nervous system stood down.

I wrote…

Floating on the universal spiral
Heartbeats synched
Expanding into infinity

I did not escape my life — I returned to it with coherence restored. My digestion eased. My breath deepened. My center held without effort. I felt clean, not because anything was wrong before, but because something ancient finally finished moving through me.

This was not healing through force.
This was integration through listening.

My body remembered before I did.
I followed.
And that was enough.
