Seneca met his death the way he had spent years preparing to. This guided visualisation places you inside his body on his last day, so you can feel your way through what he faced.

It draws on premeditation of adversity, the Stoic practice of fortifying the mind against what is to come, in its most demanding form: contemplating your own death. As you move through it, notice what rises in you, and let yourself lean toward the steadiness he showed. Find somewhere quiet and give it about fifteen minutes.
