Why Stillness Can Feel Unsafe

Why Stillness Can Feel Unsafe

Breathe and Lead by Lena Hill

Episode notes

In this episode, we explore why stillness can feel unsafe for many nervous systems and why difficulty with meditation or slowing down is often a protective response rather than resistance. Through a brief neuroscience-informed explanation and a gentle practice that includes movement and orientation, listeners are invited to work with the nervous system in a way that prioritizes safety and choice.
