🎧 What really happens when we pray?

How rituals helps us hear what words can't hold

In this episode, I explore what really happens when we pray—not as a religious act, but as a human one.

Through reflections on language, projection, and embodied emotion, I ask what rituals are really doing for us—and what we’re really doing through them.

We often imagine prayer as asking. But maybe, sometimes, it’s remembering. Listening. Aligning with what words can’t hold.

→ Listen in if you’re curious about:

  • Why language became both tool and trap

  • The mind-body connection and how suffering manifests physically

  • Rituals as human-made tools for inner alignment

  • Moving beyond external validation to authentic expression

  • The danger of grasping too tightly to meaning

If this story stays with you, consider subscribing or sharing it with someone who also listens slowly.
