EPHILO STUDY RITUAL OBJECTS
Objects for the practice
These objects do not create the ritual. They support particular moments within it: arriving, reading, thinking, reflecting, pausing, supporting the body and returning to the text.
The ritual is free. The objects are optional.
ARRIVE
Create a deliberate place for attention before reading begins.
READ
Give the book a stable place and the body more freedom while reading.
THINK · REFLECT
Give thought time, and give important questions a place to remain.
PAUSE · BODY · RETURN
The interruption of study is not outside study. Rest, move, change position, and return.
