The Wisdom in Overwhelm

What if overwhelm isn’t a problem to fix, but a message to honor? In the world of energy healing, there’s often pressure to "clear blocks" or "release trauma" as quickly as possible. But true healing doesn’t push or force. It listens. It slows down. It attunes. Overwhelm is not a sign that something is wrong. It’s a signal that your system has reached capacity. Your body, your field, and your nervous system are protecting you in the only way they know how; by pausing, freezing, or retreating. These are not failures. They are intelligent responses. The nervous system is wired for survival first, expansion second. When we override its pace in the name of transformation, we risk retraumatizing what is already tender. But when we honor its timing, the healing becomes real, and lasting.

In intuitive energy healing, we meet the body right where it is. There is no rush, no agenda, no outcome to chase. The work is in creating safety, presence, and resonance. From that place, the system may soften. The field may open. And the intelligence within the body may begin to rise. Sometimes that looks like a release. Sometimes it looks like stillness. Sometimes, simply naming what is being felt allows the system to reorganize itself naturally.

Healing is not a straight line. It is a spiral. And within the spiral, overwhelm can be seen not as something to overcome, but as a threshold. One that asks, quietly: Will you stay with yourself here? Will you listen before you move? Will you let your body set the pace? Because the wisdom has never left you. It has simply been waiting for you to slow down enough to hear it.
