19 OTT 2024 · My guess is that 95% of people aren’t quite all here. In their head, in outerspace, but not physcially fully here. We've turned off and down our sensory protection guidance system due to overwhelm though many layers of numbness and being mostly in our head and or medicated and disassociated. Coming back to being fully embodied is a journey that requires awareness, effort and attention so that the body can heal it self.
That guidance system in our body is doing our best to alert us to what is going on so we can pay attention to it and give it what is needed.
Ways it shows up: spacey, clutzy or forgetful. To come home we have understand this protective mechanism and then have New awareness. Our sensations are calling our attention for a reason. Numbing them can cause major health issues in the long run. If we listen to the whisper it will not eventually have to screem. We introduce new tools: Paying attention, listening. feeling, naming.
Why:
- The trauma issue - not safe in the skin and looking to be relieved from the pain and threat of being in the body.
- The chemical dependency issue-weed, painkillers, booze
- The endorphin issue - most pain is subdued by this natural painkiller to keep going- but body doesn't get full vibrancy/energy happiness
- The avoidance of pain in general - societal values to push past the body - caffeine when tired, go big or go home, painkillers.
- The overtax issue- overwhelmed TV, traffic, lights, wifi blasting the electromagnetic system, tv, noises. overworked- It’s too much for a natural system never designed for that amount of input
- High sensitivity- empaths and neurodivergent scale not being able to handle the world because they are more atuned and don't know what to do with it so they check out.
- Only In the head- so much head based focus -on thoughts and the ind. and not in the body
