EP 154 WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE SPIRALING

Spiraling is how it feels when you are in that state of flailing overwhelm. Where everything bad and wrong and scary and stressful keeps getting amplified. When you take one step forward and ten steps back. It’s the perfect shit storm of anxiety, hypervigilance, hypersensitivity, and low capacity that creates room for all your negative thought patterns to run wild.

We call it spiraling because it feels like you are falling into a deep and winding abyss (and your nervous system is activated and being very dramatic.)

Often you are so identified with the spiral as being YOU DOING IT WRONG that you forget that you have a choice.

The spiral is not YOU. It’s your human experience which is narrated by a lot of programming coming from outside of you.

We sit with psychedelics because they create space. They are a universal pause creator that invites other perspectives to get in. And what happens when you pause and allow the spiral to show you itself, to look at it more fully. To feel into it. To contemplate it. To redefine and reframe what is happening to an opportunity instead of life being out to get you… you realize that you’re not actually falling, going backward, or failing. Because the spiral is always expanding and evolving.

We are inside a vibrational and consciousness spiraling galaxy. This is true down to our DNA all the way out to the far reaches of space. The spiral is the shape of life itself. So in those moments when you feel like you are going in reverse and somehow everything is the absolute worst…Pause.

Shift your perspective. And remember that you are in a healing spiral. In a spiral galaxy. In a spiral Universe that is expanding and exploring and feeling its way through infinity. Whoa.

You keep coming back to the same lessons with new understanding. New experience. New tools and knowledge. And new consciousness. You can never step in the same river twice. So each time you dip in, you are in new waters. You are never in the same place and you can’t lose ground. You can’t do it wrong. And each time you detach from the spiral story, your brain begins to rewire. Each new healing and growth connection you create gives you access to more positive and uplifting thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

This is the science of feeling better and creating a good vibration.

What you pay attention to amplifies, whether it’s positive or negative. The less you resist and the more you allow, the more willing you are to go into the shadow to love it instead of destroy it, the more peace and equilibrium you will find. The more ability you have to feel challenging things without falling apart. The more you can see the interconnectedness of the spiraling Universe, and that you are part of it. THe more capacity you have to hold your presence.

This week on the show, I’m exploring what to do when you’re caught in the downward spiral. You’ll learn how to recognize this in yourself, and how to slow things down so you can gain a different perspective and ride the spiral into deeper healing and more authenticity. The spiral is your friend, and you’ve got this!

Love,
