Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I feel a "pull" to keep moving even when I'm tired?

This is the Calm of Not Having to Go Anywhere. The "pull" is an active Reward loop seeking a new trigger. In this model, we reduce that pull by validating your current location as "sufficient." When you decide that "this spot is the destination," the pull dissolves. This creates an immediate state of "internal calm," as your system no longer has to calculate the "distance" between where you are and where you "should" be.

How do I stop the "pull" to move?

You "Land in the Coordinate." Notice three things about exactly where you are sitting or standing. By "filling" the present with your attention, you leave no room for the "future-pull" to operate. In the Meaning Density Model™, "calm" is the result of "Zero-Distance"—when your body and your mind are in the exact same place at the same time. This alignment is the ultimate "safety signal" for a fragmented system.
