When Overwhelm Becomes Your Normal

The Chakra Way Meditation Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode I am exploring something many of us are experiencing - overwhelm. Not the dramatic, falling-apart kind of overwhelm, but the quieter version that creeps into everyday life. The busy mind that won't switch off. The feeling of being permanently "on". The exhaustion, overthinking, irritability and sense that you're carrying more than you can comfortably hold. As life becomes increasingly fast-paced, connected and demanding, many of us have unknowingly begun to live in a state of nervous system dysregulation. Over time, feeling overwhelmed can become so familiar that we stop noticing it altogether. In this episode I am exploring why this happens, what your nervous system may be trying to tell you, and how small moments of regulation can help you find your way back to calm, clarity and yourself. I also guide you through a couple of simple nervous system resets that you can use whenever life feels like it's becoming too much.

Today we are starting the day right - with our intention set for how we want to move through the day. It is not a task or something we have to get "right" it is an anchor to keep ourselves on track with how we want to approach our day. Just a single breath can bring us back to that intention. So whether you need to feel confident, compassionate or simply peaceful today, this meditation will allow you to find that and keep it as a gentle intention for how you carry yourself today.

Intuitive healer, Catherine Crestani, is warm and open and in this conversation we talked about how to connect with Spirit Guides, and de-mystify this as an idea. We also discuss enhancing your clairs, and using your intuition within healing and inner growth. I loved chatting with Catherine she brings so much grounded, human-ness within these very esoteric practices so that they feel really accessible and possible. I hope you love our chat as much as I did! You can reach Catherine at https://willowhealing.org/

This meditation is for those moments when anger has risen in you. Sometimes anger is hot and flashes bright, other times it simmers and gently cooks into resentment... Here we are transmuting the energy of anger, feeling it's presence in our body and separating ourselves from it so it can be transmuted, alchemised into something more productive. Anger is a very normal emotion but underneath it lies fear. Ask yourself what is the fear beneath the anger? This is a simple healing meditation for those moments when you feel anger within you. I hope that it helps you in a moment of need.

This week we are conducting a little thought experiment. In this episode I ask the question "What is your default mode?". When we are left to our own devices, when the routine changes, when we have space to ourselves, how do we act? Who are we when external circumstances shift? How reliant are we on others energy? Basically, who are we at our core when all expectations are stripped away? I'd love to hear from you! I will be back with a new meditation next week.
