Hey, welcome to Radiohead Space.
I'm Dorah. So I played basketball from grade 4 through grade 12.
I remember one game where I got fouled late in the fourth quarter.
We were tied, and there was only a few seconds left on the clock.
I walked to the line to take a free throw, and everything just went quiet.
It wasn't that I was nervous, I had practiced free throws a hundred times.
But there was something about that moment, when the noise dropped out and everyone stopped moving that made it feel different.
I bounced the ball, looked up at the hoop and started to overthink it.
The shot missed and so did the second one.
We ended up going into overtime and losing the game.
I wasn't devastated but I did walk away with a very real memory of what it feels like when silence makes your thoughts louder.
Stillness doesn't always feel like calm.
Sometimes it makes things more intense because you can actually hear what's going on inside.
In those moments of pause, whether you're on a basketball court or sitting alone with your thoughts.
The pressure doesn't only come from what's happening around you.
It can also come from inside.
And that's something mindfulness teachers have been exploring for thousands of years.
How to sit with that noise long enough to see what's underneath it.
There's a zen story about a student who asks his teacher, why can't I find peace when I meditate?
The teacher didn't answer right away.
Instead, he picked up a clear jar filled with water and sediment and shook it hard. Then he placed it on the table.
This is your mind, he said.
The student watched the sand swirl and cloud the water.
Then they just sat together in silence.
Over time, the dirt begins to settle.
The water becomes clear again.
You don't need to force the mind to be still, the teacher said, you just have to stop shaking the jar.
And that's what stillness does, it doesn't stop the thoughts.
It just gives them a place to settle.
Now the free throw didn't teach me how to win, but it showed me what happens when I stop trusting what I already know because I had done it a thousand times but in that moment I panicked, I over corrected.
I tried to think my way through something I wasn't meant to feel.
And we do that all the time when we're unsure, overwhelmed, trying to force answers that won't come.
We stir the jar and then we get frustrated that we can't see.
But the clarity that we're chasing, it isn't found by doing more.
It comes from when we stop trying to force it, when we stop shaking the jar and let the truth settle on its own, not perfectly, not instantly, gently in its own time, just like it always does.
So today, notice the moments that go quiet.
You don't have to fill them, you can just allow them to be as they are.
Thank you so much for listening.
I'll see you back here tomorrow.
you
