Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I feel so much better when I’m in a place where nothing is asking for my attention?

You are experiencing the removal of "Pull Dynamics." In modern life, we are surrounded by things designed to "pull" our attention—ads, notifications, open tasks. This keeps the Status & Control and Reward systems in a state of chronic tension. When nothing competes for your attention, the "pull" stops. This allows your internal "orientation" to return. You are no longer a reactor; you are an agent, resting in a state of deep, unconditioned regulation.

How does the lack of "competing attention" deepen my regulation?

It allows your Narrative & Identity system to become "contiguous." When you aren't being pulled in different directions, your sense of self can "knit" back together. The "fragmentation" caused by modern life begins to heal. In this state of zero-competition, your system stops scanning for threats or rewards and finally enters the "Rest & Digest" phase. This is the structural environment where meaning is most likely to quietly return.
