Who Has Your Attention? Attention Economy vs the Ancient Path


Listen Later

Let's be real — our attention is under attack. Between scroll culture, constant notifications, and never-ending to-do lists, it's hard to focus on what actually matters. In this episode, I'm inviting you to pause and reflect on where your precious energy is going.

We'll explore how ancient yogic and Vedantic texts can help us reclaim our attention — not just as a productivity tool, but as a sacred spiritual practice. If you've been feeling scattered, stuck, or overstimulated, this one's for you.

We'll look at how:

🔹 Attention is energy — what you focus on creates your reality

🔹 Ancient wisdom can help anchor you in a noisy world

🔹 Modern distraction fragments our energy and dilutes our power

🔹 Silence and depth are medicine for the nervous system

🔹 We don't need more input — we need more inner connection

This is a gentle but powerful reset for your inner compass. Let's remember what's truly worthy of our focus.
