The Ease of Not Steering
The wheel stays still.
No steering, no correction, no course chosen.
Movement is not required for orientation to remain intact.
You feel how control often masquerades as safety.
In this moment, not steering allows the body to sense stability without effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I stop "steering" my life for a moment?
You experience the "ease of not steering." Steering is the active directional control of the Reward & Pursuit system. While useful for tasks, constant steering prevents you from experiencing the "flow of integration." When you remove control, you aren't drifting aimlessly; you are allowing your established structural orientation to carry you. This reduces the metabolic cost of existence and allows you to "land" in the present without the exhaustion of constant navigation.
Is not steering the same as being passive?
No. Passivity is a lack of orientation; not steering is "active trust" in your current alignment. In this framework, you have already set your "front" (orientation). Not steering means you stop "correcting" that front every second. This allows the nervous system to reach a state of "dynamic rest." Meaning is found in the movement itself, rather than in the constant effort to ensure the movement is "perfectly" aimed.
