This short, powerful explanation of the double-slit experiment reveals how simply observing reality changes its behaviour. A brilliant metaphor for personal growth and self-awareness.

Quantum Insight
  • In Physics: Observing a particle collapses its potential into one form meaning attention creates outcomes.
  • In Life: When you observe yourself compassionately, you change the behaviour you once judged.
“Change doesn’t come from judging the old, it comes from observing it with new eyes.”
Practice: 3-Minute Presence Check-In
  • Set a timer for 3 minutes
  • Close your eyes and observe your breathing without changing it
  • Notice thoughts — let them pass like clouds
  • End by asking: “How did observation shift my state?”
Observation without resistance is transformation.
Journaling Prompts
  • What patterns do I notice when I watch myself calmly?
  • Where have I tried to “force” change instead of just observing?
  • What would shift if I focused on awareness instead of reaction?
