When Autopilot Takes Over Your Life
Have you ever driven home from work and realized you don't remember a single turn? Or scrolled through your phone for an hour while your partner tried to tell you something important? These aren't just moments of distraction - they're glimpses of what happens when we live in a trance. Most of us spend far more time disconnected from our actual lives than we'd like to admit, caught in repetitive thought loops, numbing behaviors, and a nagging sense that something essential is missing. This disconnection manifests in countless ways: the parent who snaps at their child while stressed about work, the professional who achieves success but feels hollow inside, the person who eats an entire meal without tasting a single bite. We're physically present but emotionally absent, going through motions while our minds race elsewhere. Picture yourself preparing an important presentation while your aging parent sits in the next room, hoping to spend time with you. Your shoulders are tight, your breathing shallow, your mind spinning with anxious thoughts about everything you haven't done yet. You know you should pause, but you can't seem to break free from the urgency driving you forward. This is trance in action - a state where we're so identified with our thoughts and emotions that we lose access to choice. The trance operates through specific patterns we can learn to recognize. Maybe yours shows up as constantly comparing yourself to others on social media, or finding fault with everyone around you, or eating mindlessly while standing at the refrigerator. These "flags of trance" signal that we've slipped below the line of conscious awareness into automatic reactivity. When we're in trance, a colleague's brief email feels like rejection, a minor mistake becomes evidence of fundamental inadequacy, and normal life challenges seem overwhelming. The antidote isn't another productivity hack or wellness trend. It's a practice called RAIN - a four-step process that helps us wake up to what's actually happening inside us. Through Recognition, Allowing, Investigation, and Nurturing, we learn to meet our most difficult emotions with the kind of compassion we'd offer a frightened child. What makes this approach revolutionary is its simplicity and accessibility. You don't need special equipment, a meditation cushion, or hours of free time. You just need willingness to turn toward your experience rather than away from it. Living above the line - in presence - feels entirely different. It's characterized by an openness that can hold all our experiences without being consumed by them. Think of presence as an open sky that can accommodate any weather system, while trance is like being trapped inside a single thundercloud, convinced the storm is all that exists.
