How to Quiet a Mind That Won't Switch Off

Your mind won't switch off. You lie down exhausted — and that's the moment it comes alive: the replays, the to-do list, the 3am loop. If you've tried everything to stop overthinking and nothing works, this one's for you.
Michael Mackintosh and Sister Shireen show you why you can't stop your thoughts — and why trying is the trap — plus the simple, soul-level way to finally quiet your mind. (Spoiler: you can't stop a mind any more than you can stop your heartbeat. The way out is something else entirely.)
In this episode:

Why you can't stop thinking — and the heartbeat truth that changes everything
The 5 kinds of thought — and how to see your own
"Collapsing": why the mind overwhelms you, and how to step back as the soul
A short practice you can do tonight
