Why You Can’t Sit Still (And What It’s Costing You)

Modern life makes it easy to avoid stillness — and the uncomfortable emotions that surface when there’s nothing left to distract us. Ryan uses the invention of electric light as a metaphor for how we’ve learned to escape the “dark,” both literally and within ourselves, where fear, pain, insecurity, and old wounds live. But avoiding those places keeps them unhealed. A guided practice invites you to become still, meet the darkness without resistance, and recognize the growth and life force that can emerge when you’re willing to be present with what you’d rather avoid.
