What if you could use the very mind that distracts you to become more present? Ryan pulls back the curtain on the practice he uses before recording each episode — quieting the mental noise so something deeper than his own thoughts can come through. He explores how an untrained “monkey mind” can cloud our experience like grime on a window, and how intentional language can turn that same mind into a tool for awakening. A guided practice follows with the words Ryan uses himself to become open, available, and receptive: “Dear universe, use me. Let me be a vessel.”
