How do we stay aware in a world designed to steal our attention?
This week, we sit down with Jay Vidyarthi — designer, tech founder, meditation teacher, and author of Reclaim Your Mind: Seven Strategies to Enjoy Tech Mindfully — to explore what it means to live mindfully with technology instead of fighting against it.
We look at how our phones, apps, and algorithms are constantly training our nervous systems, and how awareness itself can change the relationship. Jay calls this attention activism: a way of reclaiming choice and joy in a tech-infused world.
“Freedom of attention is a fundamental right. It’s a natural resource… and it’s being exploited.”
- Jay Vidyarthi
We talk about:
The invisible pull of notifications and how to stay present in real time
How to turn tech boundaries into rituals of pleasure
What false urgency does to our nervous systems
How our conversations with AI can become mirrors for awareness
Why we need mindful, creative people shaping the future of technology!
The adventure:
Then Jay guides us through a real-time experiment to feel the physical and psychological pull of our devices. Then transform that into presence!
