Show Notes

Does the intensity of energy in your system feel destabilizing? Drawing from classical Tantra frameworks as well as modern lived experience, this episode is focused on practical guidance, tips, and suggestions for those experiencing "energetic overload," or something like it. It emphasizes the importance of grounding, discernment, and caring for the nervous system when one's experiences feel destabilizing.

Use your own discernment, and if any of your symptoms could have a medical cause, please see a medical professional. If any of your loved ones think you should see a mental health professional, please do so. NONE of these suggestions can substitute for mental health care when that is required.
