[167] Contemplation is resistance
Host Ryan Dunn guides us through a timely and deeply practical exploration of how contemplative spiritual practices can become acts of resistance against the overwhelm and exhaustion so many of us face today. In this episode, we dive into the ways our attention is commodified—by social media, politics, and nonstop demands—and how practices like gratitude lists, breath prayer, and everyday pilgrimage can help us reclaim our sense of meaning, hope, and connection.
In this episode:
[00:00] The commodification of attention
[03:00] Resisting attention exhaustion and despair
[04:06] Action is the antithesis to despair
[08:39] Gratitude is active resistance
[10:07] Examen
[12:04] Centering
[13:32] Breath praying
[14:53] Pilgrimage
