People who are fully dependent on trusted others for critical needs (like a non-earning spouse or a parent or a grown child for elders) have a very relaxing energy when secure in trusted party’s presence. Unironically religious people have it too. Christians in particular.

It’s the steady energy release of being able to let go and sink into a sort of cradle of active care (real or imagined). Passive things like a chair don’t allow you to let go enough. You have to know someone else will do the necessary caring to let go a care yourself.

You can take the weight off your feet and sink into a chair, but only another human can do that for an active care on your mind. Or a sufficiently good AI. “Cares” are default policy goals like “don’t fall down” which a chair can take over.

Good argument for literal belief in a personal caring god for cases where “caring” is futile anyway and getting a care off your mind but not actually covered is still a net plus due to improved energy field. “The lord will provide”. Not true but helpful to believe sometimes.

I used to be a practicing Christian and I can’t overemphasize how relieving it was to “lay down your burden at the alter.” Taking whatever worries you had and offering them up in prayer. That sense that you were going to be cared for, even in a state of discomfort.

In my meditation practice I have found that I don’t need and entity to receive my worries. I can just lay them down. It is a very familiar feeling.
