Why Stillness Can Feel Unsafe

In this episode, we explore why stillness can feel unsafe for many nervous systems and why difficulty with meditation or slowing down is often a protective response rather than resistance. Through a brief neuroscience-informed explanation and a gentle practice that includes movement and orientation, listeners are invited to work with the nervous system in a way that prioritizes safety and choice.
