Uncertainty thrives on mental clutter and panic frequency. Today, we activate the Shunya Mudra, or the Gesture of Space, which physically helps us clear that internal noise and create the necessary stillness to confidently embrace the unknown.
This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Uncertainty Detox: Rewiring Your Brain for Fearless Living," episodes 1213-1219.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 3-Second Pause Challenge
Before making any non-urgent decision this week (e.g., ordering lunch, responding to an email, selecting a task), pause for exactly three seconds. Place your hand gently on your solar plexus or abdomen and ask: "Does this feel expansive or contractive?" This simple ritual trains you to access your gut's instant feedback loop before the logical mind jumps in..

| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1216. Welcome to your daily guided meditation. How are you doing? I'm wondering how your challenge is going as you expose yourself to new locations and new places. |
| 0:19.8 | Safely, of course. |
| 0:22.2 | Have you gotten lost anywhere and found your way around and found your way back? |
| 0:30.0 | I hope that this will get you comfortable with uncertainty. |
| 0:35.1 | In today's episode, I'm going to guide you in a meditation to help you |
| 0:42.1 | accept that sometimes you can feel two ways at once, meaning that when you're dealing with |
| 0:50.9 | uncertainty, you can realize that things can be similar without being |
| 1:01.4 | exactly the same. So when you expose yourself to new situations this week in your challenge, |
| 1:09.6 | and as you deal with uncertainty, fear and worry in your |
| 1:14.7 | life, find the similarities, find the things that always happen regardless of where you find yourself. If you're allowing yourself to get lost |
| 1:32.1 | somewhere new, find the similarities such as, oh, there's a grocery store. I bet this is the |
| 1:39.8 | local grocery store where people go. Oh, there is the gas station. I bet this is where this particular |
| 1:48.1 | neighborhood gasses up. Or here is a beautiful park. I bet people who live here enjoy this park. |
| 1:57.6 | And this makes new surroundings seem more familiar because you relate them back to what you're |
| 2:06.1 | familiar with in your own world and I've noticed that people whom I work with who manage |
| 2:17.3 | uncertainty well when they're going through major life changes, |
| 2:22.7 | such as all of a sudden they have a disease and their life drastically changes, or someone in their |
| 2:33.7 | family dies, |
| 2:35.8 | or they lose a job and have to relocate |
| 2:38.6 | somewhere completely new. |
| 2:42.5 | I've noticed that the common thread |
| 2:45.4 | for managing new experiences beautifully is when you find the common link, such as, well, I still need to eat. |
