Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stop the constant "commentary" in my head about what I'm doing?
Inner commentary is the Narrative system trying to maintain control by labeling every experience. While it feels like "thinking," it is actually a form of evaluation that prevents settlement. Quieting this commentary restores momentary peace. You don't have to stop the thoughts; you just have to stop the "play-by-play" analysis. This allows your experiences to be lived directly rather than being translated through a filter of judgment.
Does a moment free of commentary feel empty or boring?
Initially, it might feel "unstructured" because we are used to the noise. However, it quickly matures into a state of "unfiltered density." Without the commentary, you perceive the world with much more clarity. In the Meaning Density Model™, this is where "high-density presence" begins. You are no longer watching yourself live; you are actually living. This shift from "analysis" to "experience" is what allows the nervous system to finally feel "done."
