The Architecture of Attention
From Perception to Wholeness
Spring Season — March 23 – June 21, 2026 · 13 Weeks of Daily Live Practice
What if the reason you can't shake certain feelings has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with how your brain is wired?
When you fixate on a conflict in a relationship, the trust, the humor, the warmth literally vanish from your perception. Not because they're gone — because your nervous system stopped registering them. That's not a metaphor. It's a neurological mechanism called the Troxler Effect.
This spring, we start where all emotional experience begins: with what you pay attention to, what fades, and what your brain builds in the gaps. Then we learn to work with the machinery consciously — pausing, choosing, completing, and coming home.
Daily Live Practice
7:30 AM CST — meditation, somatic practice, journaling, sound healing

The Science Beneath the Practice
Troxler Effect, Zeigarnik Effect, filling-in — and coming home
I've found my authentic voice and I hear my heart speaking over my mind so much more now. I'm more confident. I trust my intuition far more now and this has almost extinguished my need for outside validation.
