There’s a specific kind of frustration that can arise after awakening —
when your curiosity is alive,
your awareness is sharp,
your questions are finally honest…
but your body can’t keep up.
You want to read.
To learn.
To understand.
To connect the dots.
To build something new from the truth you’ve uncovered.
But instead, you feel tired.
Foggy.
Heavy.
Slow.
And it feels confusing.
Because for so long, curiosity was survival.
Understanding kept you safe.
Insight gave you a sense of control.
Staying mentally ahead meant staying alive.
So when your mind is ready to move forward
and your body says no,
it can feel like betrayal.
But this isn’t laziness.
And it isn’t regression.
It’s the cost of coming out of survival.
Your nervous system spent years burning fuel
just to keep you functional —
hypervigilance, pattern-tracking, emotional scanning,
constant readiness.
Curiosity thrived because adrenaline carried it.
Now the adrenaline is quieter —
and your body is finally collecting what it was owed.
This is why post-awakening exhaustion can feel so disorienting.
You’re not stuck.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re not losing your intelligence or capacity.
You’re recalibrating.
Your body is asking for something
it was never allowed to have while your mind stayed sharp:
rest without threat,
stillness without consequence,
slowness without punishment.
The system taught us that awareness must be productive.
That insight should immediately become output.
That understanding has to do something.
But healing breaks that rule.
Sometimes awareness arrives before capacity.
Sometimes truth comes before energy.
Sometimes curiosity has to wait
while the body learns it is safe.
And that waiting isn’t failure —
it’s integration.
You don’t need to push through this.
You don’t need to force momentum.
You don’t need to shame yourself for being tired
after seeing more than most people ever will.
Your mind has already done its work.
Now your body needs time
to believe the danger has passed.
Curiosity doesn’t disappear.
It rests.
And when your system is ready,
it returns — quieter, deeper, steadier.
You’re learning how to move forward
without burning yourself alive to do it.
If you’re noticing a shift inside yourself right now, it’s not because you’re falling behind or restless... It’s because you’ve grown and expanded.
The part of you that learned how to survive did exactly what it needed to do — it kept you here. And now, something deeper and more hopeful is beginning to take the lead.
This transition doesn’t require you to rush or prove anything. It simply asks you to trust that the courage you feel stirring is real, even if it feels unfamiliar. You’re allowed to move forward without having every answer. You’re allowed to choose openness after seasons of protection. Nothing about this moment is reckless. It’s earned.
What you’re stepping into isn’t a rejection of your past; it’s a continuation of it.
The strength you built, the truths you faced, the resilience you didn’t think you had — all of it comes with you. And as you move ahead, you don’t have to force the future. It will meet you gently, in its own time, as you become ready to receive it.
*Inspired by a reflection that landed deeply for me, shared here with care.
*If your body is asking for rest, not answers —
I’ve created a collection of Healing Pod Meditations for moments exactly like this.
Each transmission is a gently guided journey, uniquely blessed with the support of spirit guides and a wider spirit team — infused with care, grounding, and a quiet sense of magic.
These aren’t just recordings.
They’re spaces to exhale.
To let your nervous system settle.
To be held without having to explain.

A small update for those who follow my work 🤍
Last year my original Instagram account was taken and couldn’t be recovered.
As a result, I’ve created a new account where I’m now sharing my current work, reflections, and nervous-system-led teachings.
👉
This is the space where I’m posting more regularly in 2026 as I continue this next chapter of my work.
If you’re on Instagram and would like to stay connected there, I’d love to have you with me.
