Release Trauma Signals - Overwhelm

The trauma signal of Overwhelm is often a trauma signal, indicating that the nervous system is overloaded and needs regulation. When we reach a point of overwhelm we are already in a precarious energy space. At this point, we can only revert to survival strategies and we know these are always lower vibrational coping mechanisms. When we allow ourselves to notice the markers and redirect our energy resources we can find a new way of showing up in the world.
Let us find a way to navigate our emotional landscape and restore balance.

Sweet people today,

What are we going to talk about?

This energy of overwhelm.

Little coincidental,

Thinks me not.

If we can come into this energy field and start to reconsider how do we hold the energy of overwhelm and what is the signal all about when we register it as a trauma signal.

That's something we want to pay attention to now my lovelies.

So let me ring this bell,

We're going to come into the space,

We're going to open the energy and let's see where we go my lovelies.

Take a deep breath in my treasures,

Long slow out breath and drop drop into this moment.

Just relax,

Drop your shoulders,

Put your feet right down on the ground,

Feel the balance of your body,

Drop your shoulders just a little bit more,

Smooth the skin on your beautiful face,

Relax your jaw,

Let's just be here my treasures.

We're here in this moment,

In this time,

In this space,

There is something that is unfolding and truly it's a wonderful time for us to reconsider who we are and how we are and how we wish to be as we move into our journey of life.

So the idea of overwhelm becomes so huge in our awareness as we're trying to do and cope and manage with so many pieces.

As we're doing this we are in a very low vibration because the moment my sweethearts we drop into an overwhelm and our sense resistance is too much,

What it's telling us it's too much.

But it's funny how we go into a sense of overwhelm and we go immediately not just in the awareness of it but we go into a reaction because it ignites our limbic system,

It throws out all this cortisol and epinephrine and all the stress hormones,

Norepinephrine,

All of those,

It's a very toxic of a system,

Throws it out and then we react in some way because we think we're under threat.

So overwhelm,

When we register that,

Notice what comes in right next door to it,

What holds its hand as it enters into your awareness.

The sense that something's going to go wrong,

That you're not going to manage,

That there's not going to be enough or there's going to be a lack of some kind or a loss,

The system starts panicking about how is it going to manage.

When we're thinking in that way,

Even if it is just through a default setting,

It might not even be your own logical loving kind way of considering you.

When we start to think like that,

Then my lovelies,

What happens is we're already in the lower frequency,

We're already in a frequency that is very low,

Very heavy,

Thick and sticky.

So if we could imagine now that we could bring towards this being a different register in this human system,

Something is overwhelming us,

Could be a million things,

No use just knocking off all those things and saying well I can't do this and I can't do that because it brings me into an overwhelm.

When we go into these experiences,

It's not as if we set them up and we say well let me see how far I can stretch this before I have a little overwhelming episode.

Sometimes it's just life and it's all the stuff and the calamities that can happen and the stuff that comes into our life that makes us feel very shaky and insecure,

Very upset.

The moment we're there,

We're in the low vibration,

We're in a hard place.

We're only ever going to be able to manage when we're in the low vibration.

That means that we're going to start defending,

Deflecting,

Denying,

Distracting,

Detaching and destroying.

All those lovely D's come in.

We play with that game in a million different wonderful inventive ways.

We're very creative in the ways that we can detach and destroy,

Deny,

Deflect.

There's so many ways that we can play with that.

So no use saying to ourselves now I must fix the way that I've ignored my energy or I must push that person out of my life because they caused me to go into that.

We can't get rid of all the stuff that creates a reaction in us because then we'd have to get rid of the whole wide world.

Then we'd be overwhelmed because we'd be here all alone on the great big earth.

What am I supposed to do with myself now?

So we can't get rid of the stuff.

We can't get rid of the people.

We can't get rid of the game but we can make an adjustment within our own being that we are not so sparked by the story that is attached to the feeling of overwhelm.

Okay let me see if you got that.

Hear the separation.

Feel that there are two things happening here.

Have you got that?

It's really important that we get that understanding.

Here's the overwhelm.

It's a reaction.

In that is low vibration.

In that is a story.

The low vibration is the story that we hold and that we have been holding for a very long time as a species.

We've only my lovelies been playing one game as the human species.

I'm going to tell you that every single time because I want you to really be convinced about this.

Start to notice this.

There's one game that we played and that's the game of survival.

Every reaction we have to everything is because of that survival code and all decodes that go along with survival are the trauma signals.

So even though we might feel in this life we're trying to live a life that is very clean and clear loving and gracious compassionate and we're trying to do our very best and we are doing our very best because my love we are that already.

We are the very breath of the divine.

So we are that already.

So we are doing very well most of the time but there's a lot of signals coming in and a lot of activation points and when something activates in us and someone around you says to you oh please stop being so dramatic.

Why must you always make such a big thing of it?

This is not always all about you.

Can't you have some compassion?

Start throwing little bulbs at you or condemnations judgments criticisms.

If someone or something around you starts telling you that you too reactive you too much too dramatic you know right away that you have hit a trauma signal that is ancestral.

It's not yours.

Okay I've got that one.

So if it's not yours it's not your story you didn't create it.

It was created a long time ago.

The survival signal said if there is something that is possibly going to threaten me threaten my ability to stay in this group to be here to be healthy to be held to be nurtured and nourished and to be part of something.

If there's something that throws me out that disregards me rejects me then I have a very good chance of not surviving.

Then the default kicks in.

The default reactive system to that default setting.

So it's a setting that is linked back way way back in your ancestral coding.

So our dear ancestors they passed these onto us not because they were mean spirited and said what minutes a week can we pass forward.

Not at all.

They passed these signals onto us so that we would know how to quickly react adjust and come back into the setting.

The setting is just survive.

Do the best you can but survive.

Survival was the most important thing for the single being and the group.

So if you didn't fit in the group you didn't play the game of the group you already singled out to be out.

So notice the signals my lovelies.

The minute you do that you are not being played by your default setting and you have the opportunity to review what is happening here in front of you and go aha oh so that's what it is.

It's a signal it's dropping into the lowest vibration which is survival and in that there is a reaction.

In the reaction there is a need for me to tweak or fix or manage myself in a different way so that I'm not kicked out that I'm not fed to the wolves.

Ancient old story.

So imagine if I told you now that we could do one thing and get rid of all of the signals immediately you'd go oh yes I want that I'll have that that'll be my placebo little pill I'll just take one thing it just will be gone.

It can be gone as easily as that if we understood that the survival game has another story right next to it.

The contrast the things that are contrasting are showing us two things at the same time.

In every experience that you're going to go into you're going to know two things at the same time so know the thing that you know and that you feel reactive in that really motivates you to jump up and down and swim or whatever you want to do.

Notice that and notice what's right next to it.

This is the absolute key.

Notice what's next to it.

What's next to it is 180 degrees away from that signal.

It is not that signal it is the thing that we seek and desire and long for so you've got the 180 degree turnaround from that point of pain and misery.

Yes notice that.

Notice that this one is in survival and this one that our heart is seeking to be kind compassionate loving and gracious is not a thing that we have to learn or try to be because if we had to do that well none of us would have got it by now.

It is already encoded in your being.

It is the gift of you being here as this human that is filled with the divine light.

You are that already.

You hold that code there's nothing you have to do to become that.

Will you hear that?

Nothing you have to do to become that.

You're that already.

So you hold this different window this door open in that space you could call the energy field of that space the energy of thriving and you could call this one the energy of survival.

So one as it drops the frequency into managing and hoping and coping as survival the other one that we long for year in full is the one of thriving.

Here my love is the little place where we go wrong again and again and again when we don't say to ourself I am that already that I have to earn respect I have to earn kindness I have to earn my abundance I have to earn and there must be hardship and suffering because then it is of great value.

When we play that game then we have not allowed ourselves to be the thing that we already are to fully see who we already are.

If we are not acknowledging that we are a divine being of light and love already then this doorway of longing and yearning that we seek everything that we want to move into has got a little barrier.

That barrier will keep pushing you out because we say I'm not good enough yet I have to work harder then I have to be more beautiful then I have to be more successful more strong more this more that then we set that up that game we create it drops into the field of conditional energy.

We place ourselves in a game with everybody else that we're trying to show up and be as lovely and kind and gentle and compassionate and fabulous and we never shout and we never say anything mean we're just this beautiful lovely lovely lovely sweet being now wouldn't it be nice but really the world is crazy people out there are crazy how are we possibly going to do that if we are playing in a game that says I have to be like this so that I can be seen as being worthy and loving and kind and gracious that is a conditional it's a little filter that is in front of this door that says I'm not good enough yet and I can't go into that place of being a delightful being happy and thriving and bringing in abundance and manifesting and creating loving and being kind and passionate about life I can't go into it because I'm not good enough yet and you look my treasures at every game that's being played right now every game in the human story is telling you you're not good enough yet if you were to drop that story not believe in it anymore and remember who you are I am I am a divine being of light and love I am the very breath of the divine I'm that I'm that already you hold that energy then we don't play in that little filter we cannot be manipulated inside of it with someone looking at and say oh it's not like you with judgment shaming and blaming bounces off doesn't connect we are that already there's nothing we have to prove or do any way that we can be manipulated to play a different game because we are that already this is your key my loving and it's right here for us to step into that space of thriving our potential and our abundance it's right here we are closing ourselves out of it because we have believed a game that life is hard you've got to suffer and you don't deserve anything good until you have sacrificed to the nth degree not true great manipulation throw one little speck of fear or hate or anger or mistrust into it and everything erupts and breaks and falls apart claim your life claim your space claim your energy hold the essence of you know that you're here on purpose that you are a divine being of light and love you are the very breath of the divine you're a multi-faceted multi-dimensional being that knows so much more than just this human thinks it knows and all of that information is available to you it will come pouring into you at the right moment if you're willing to acknowledge that you are this being this very very divine light being here on time here on purpose to bring about a change in the space so that this whole human experience can shift from this very low frequency stuck in the mud into the space where we start to really thrive and see each other on a life and on a whole life and really find ourselves coming into a much higher evolution of the species it's right here right here and we're the ones holding it my sweets let's do this little connection with our energy let's do that let's pull this energy out of our system this one that says i'm overwhelmed and i don't know what to do of course you know what to do nothing's going to happen to you you already are this beautiful being of light you're in a human form the worst thing that can happen i say this to myself what's the worst thing that can happen when i'm going to die and what's the best thing that's going to happen i'm going home so if you cannot be manipulated even with the threat of death then imagine you cannot be manipulated that's the button so i play that button all the time what's the worst thing that can happen what's the best thing can happen in that is that i'll go home we are that already take a deep breath in lovely you long slow out breath drop now right into your center and feel as if you are claiming your energy right here right now i am the one being of light and love here on time at a perfect here on time at a perfect time to hold a code an awareness in me that is quite magical that is the essence of the divine no mistake not one mistake for any one of us we are all holders of a unique sovereign code we ask our being so where is that lovely code right there you'll feel it at your heart my lovely you connect to your heart you'll know this is your connection what are you seeking yearning looking for you longing to bring in that's your heart code it's connected to the highest vibration it's connected to the highest vibration of light and love it sits and it lives within your heart it resonates right through your being i am that already claim it and hold it agree with you there is nothing outside of this moment and you that can provide that information for you to know you nothing else just you and your divine heart there is no one no thing no story that we need to rely upon to validate who we are we know very well who we are we are the very essence of the divine so you hold that now as steady as you can imagine that you are anchoring this energy deeply like a tree dropping roots down down into the earth just breathe and soften your tummy and hold yourself in that space this is me beautiful being of light and love being of light and love holding a moment in time for all time we just raced into this what an incredible gift that we hold as we soothe the energy around us imagine now that you begin to grow that energy around you like a ripple opening in a pond place yourself in a visual of a cocoon or chrysalis inside your mocha bar or sacred geometry however you want to visualize that to see yourself within that being held loved and adored and so let's tap in now to the energies and distortions that have been held within these human systems as warning signals to help us to survive as you breathe in now we imagine that we're standing on a timeline of our entire line backwards and forwards in the quantum field of no time we stand here and we hold the space with so much love so much grace the deepest honoring and the gratitude the thanksgiving to those who went before for everything they did to just get us to this point for everything they did to just get us to this point we had to get to this point of the species and then get the point and then move beyond so everything they endured all their pain and hardship and suffering all their torment was so that we could manage ourselves to a point where we were ready to make that next leap so here we are filled with the grace and the courage the fortitude the strength of those who went before feel that in your beautiful crystalline structure feel that strength that power determination that willingness you hold that now as part of your armor your energy field let's ask now that we can activate through this divine light being an energy of deep profound clearing into all the spaces and places that we can connect into right now where there's been where there's been an immense sense of overwhelm and despair that has shaken people to their very core where they've not known where to go and what to do barely able to make any kind of decision or plan very disappointed with themselves when they made the wrong plan but there were no choices and the best they could do was that let's ask that we can be in the space now understanding that times were so wretchedly hard before the thickness of the energy field was even stickier than it is here now it was such a low frequency so take that strength that compassion that love that recognition and let's bring that into our awareness for deep profound healing you will now bring your hands together and just rub your palms together and activate the energy open your heart soften your tummy now flick your fingers pull push the energy right to the tips of your fingers you can flick each one in turn if you want to so that your energy is really sparkling and dazzling right off it is so wonderful when you can see energy my loves we will be able to see it more clearly for those of you who are already seeing it what it looks like is long light fingers let your fingers extend into light fingers this is the energy that you're holding right now when you open your palms in front of you just hold that energy feel that activation all the way to the points through the palms imagine that your heart is pouring in love into these beautiful radiating lines energy frequencies now gently bring your fingers to your throat pointing them to your throat and let those long energetic light energies touch your throat not your actual fingers so gently we're going to pull this up now over your chin lips nose over your eyebrows past your forehead both at the top of your head if your arms are sore and you can't do this just visualize it over the back of your head over the neck imagine now pulling it off your shoulders stretch your arms out like wings and flick it off so this is a movement you're going to create wonderful energy in doing that my treasures we're going to pull the energy up i'm going to speak to our systems and we're just going to gently release with all my heart with all my soul i ask now that i can release let go of all the imprints of pain distortion the signals of survival that we can release the energy now of overwhelm when there were just too many options too many despairing points too much coming in the entire being said i don't know what to do and i can't manage i'm lost i'm alone just release that energy with so much love because those who went before truly had a very difficult time it did seem like that that there were no options the only option was to survive at any and every cost it pulled that energy up over and off over the back of the head asking that now we can release right through this energy being mind body being through every cell nerve tissue fiber every mitochondria telomere atom all the way through this beautiful being let's release let go and eliminate all that which no longer serves us now bring a beautiful breath in for your last sweep pull the energy up over the top of your head over the back of your head neck shoulders and then release now let your hands shake out that energy all the old stuff let it go bring your hands back to your heart place them together masculine touches the right the energy circuits connect feel that connection my love peace this is a powerful way to connect your energy circuit we bring ourselves into perfect balance we hold ourselves at our center hold yourself here if you're strong connected and aligned feet on the ground or the base of your body whatever part of you is touching the ground be aware of that feel the connection i'm here this beautiful formidable being in this form i am so able formidable i hold within me the absolute strength determination courage beauty the kindness the sincerity the compassion and gratitude the love and the forgiveness i hold it in me there you are my love peace well done you got it breathe into your being hold that space center it ground it connect it when you're ready to come on back to this time and space just know that something has shifted out of your field for a little while this habitual being that has played a game in a certain way for a long time will keep trying to go back into that default your gift to you is to notice that spend some time being gentle with your being and say so what's that about i wonder what that's about what would my higher self say about this just know yourself as the very breath of the divine beautiful you thank you for you my treasures the gift that you're bringing in when we clear like this we clear for our own light and our own being but we clear for those with whom we have been connected through all time all fields all dimensions we cleared then into the communities the connected field enough of us do this we're going to make a really big beautiful energy space that we can start to live in with more ease grace and flow just lovely thank you for you my sweethearts be well take care of you be gentle with you so much love
