Sensory hygiene is one of the least understood but most powerful tools on the Taoist path. In this short conversation (2-9), Master Steenrod explains how half of self-management comes from managing your inputs — what you see, hear, and absorb from the world around you.

You’ll learn how negative events stack to distort perception, why modern life overloads us with emotional variation, and how the Four Ascendant Tradition reframes all of this as conscious crafting of the self.

If you’ve ever felt thrown off by your environment, this short will help you understand why — and what to do about it.
