Closing: Grounding to Prevent Drift
Hill feared drift more than ignorance. A powerful state without grounding can inflate identity, create urgency, or cause dependency. The closing is where you restore autonomy and return the listener to ordinary reality.
Closing checklist
- Return attention to breath, body, and environment.
- Reaffirm agency: “You remain in control.”
- Normalize ordinariness: no grand conclusions required.
- Invite delayed interpretation and the time test.
A Hill-aligned closing tone
“Whatever you noticed—or didn’t—is enough for now. Clarity carries forward on its own.” Restraint is the safety mechanism.
