Why Presence Is the Only Real Power in Uncertain Times

Law 3: Presence = Power | Returning to Center

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin… quietly anxious… exhausted in a way that rest doesn’t fix… this episode is for you.

We are living in a time where uncertainty is constant. And when uncertainty becomes constant, the nervous system stays on alert.

In this episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin explains why control is collapsing, why trying harder isn’t working — and why presence is the only real power available to us right now.

This is Law 3 embodied:
 Presence → Awareness → Choice → Power

You’ll explore:

  • Why the illusion of control is dissolving culturally
  • The difference between control and true power
  • Why effort is not regulation
  • How dysregulation fuels burnout and urgency
  • What “field” and “form” actually mean
  • How presence stabilizes the nervous system
  • Practical ways to stop doom-scrolling and comparison spirals
  • A guided embodied micro-practice to return to center

You don’t need certainty to feel powerful.
 You need presence.
