Sometimes the deeper you go on your spiritual journey, the worse life seems to feel. Ryan compares awakening to anesthesia wearing off after surgery: the pain isn’t suddenly appearing — you’re becoming more able to feel what was already there. Greater awareness can make old relationships, patterns, and situations harder to tolerate, and even leave you wondering why everything seems to be falling apart. Ryan explores why this increased sensitivity is actually part of the journey, and why the answer isn’t another practice to make yourself feel better, but learning to slow down, stop resisting, and trust your capacity to be with whatever arises.
