Reclaim Your Attention!

An invite to a meditation group where we will be learning how to reclaim our attention and focus on what matters most.

So in my last Substack, ‘This Is Your Mind On The Internet’, I explained how our consciousness is being colonised by Musk, Zuckerberg, and what Jaron Lanier calls ‘behaviour modification empires’. I explained that to resist these influences we need to reclaim our attention and focus on what matters most:

The only consistent thing that seems to awaken me from my robotic trance is when I actively remember what matters most. The joy in my daughter's face when she knows I'm fully present with her. The total absorption of deep reading. Conversation that makes time disappear. When I recall these non-glitchy moments, how they feel, how much they matter to me, then I choose differently.

Some have asked me to elaborate, so the next Heart of Being Human group session will be an expanded teaching and meditation session:
How to Reclaim Our Attention and Focus on What Matters Most

🗓 Thursday 12th June
🕐 1pm BST
📍 On Zoom

These sessions are for paid subscribers (which is a mere £8 a month, see options here). But my intention is to make the Heart Of Being Human available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. While creating and writing takes time and needs to be sustainable for me, I never want money to be the reason why someone can't benefit. So if you’d love to join but finances are genuinely tight, just message me here on Substack and I’ll gift you a year’s paid subscription. No explanation required.

Hope to see you there.
