Understand why life feels heavy despite no major problems.
When Orientation Returns Before Meaning
Orientation often returns before meaning does.
This order matters.
The body finds its angle first.
Sense follows later, or not at all.
Letting orientation arrive without demanding meaning prevents forcing the sequence.
Respect the sequence with DojoWell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel "ready" even though I still don't know what my life means?
Because "Orientation Precedes Meaning." Your Body & Vector system always updates before your Narrative system. You are oriented toward life before you have a story about why. Clarifying this order prevents the "Meaning-Panic." You don't need the story to move; the story is what you write after you’ve been moving for a while.
How do I trust my "readiness" if I don't have meaning?
Trust the Physical Signal. If you feel the "energy to face," use it. Don't wait for a "philosophical justification." This is Primary Agency. By acting on your orientation, you create the very "data" that your narrative system will eventually use to build new meaning. Action creates meaning, not the other way around.
