Life in the modern world often feels like a state of constant reaction. We are pulled in a thousand directions by notifications, deadlines, and the relentless stream of information. The prevailing sensation is one of being scattered, living in our heads, disconnected from the quiet wisdom of our bodies. We feel perpetually off-balance, reacting to the day's events with a frayed nervous system, our thoughts racing ahead to the next task while our emotions churn in response to the last. This is the uncentered life, a life lived on the periphery of our own being, where external pressures and internal anxieties easily sway us. In this state, we lose our footing, our sense of solid ground, and with it, our connection to a deeper purpose.
