Power, Control, and the Collective Nervous System
When major displays of power unfold on the world stage — military interventions, arrests of leaders, sudden regime shifts — they don’t just stay in the headlines.
They move through people.
Even when events are far away, many notice subtle changes: a tight chest, restless energy, irritability, anxiety, emotional numbness, or the urge to keep scrolling for answers. This isn’t a personal failing — it’s how human nervous systems respond to perceived instability.
Why global power events affect us personally
Our nervous systems are wired to track safety, threat, and shifts in authority. When power moves suddenly or forcefully, the body often reads this as environmental uncertainty.
The result can be:
Heightened alertness or anxiety
A sense of loss of control
Emotional reactivity or overwhelm
Difficulty focusing or feeling grounded
In other words, the collective nervous system becomes activated — even if the event doesn’t directly affect our daily lives.
When information overload erodes inner authority
In moments like these, it’s natural to seek clarity through news and commentary. But without grounding, constant information can do the opposite of what we hope.
When the nervous system is overstimulated:
Fear can masquerade as intuition
Opinions harden quickly
We react instead of respond
Our inner voice becomes harder to hear
External power dynamics begin to quietly override internal authority.
Intuition versus fear: a crucial distinction
Especially during turbulent times, it’s essential to distinguish intuition from fear-based reactivity.
Fear is urgent, loud, and repetitive.
Intuition is steady, calm, and often subtle.
When the body is dysregulated, fear can feel convincing — even insightful. But intuition doesn’t rush or demand immediate action. It emerges once the nervous system has settled.
Regulation comes first. Clarity follows.
Reclaiming inner stability through spiritual support
This is where spiritual and intuitive work becomes deeply practical.
Modalities such as energy healing, somatic or nervous-system–aware practices, intuitive guidance, spiritual counseling, Akashic Records work, channeling, or hypnotherapy help people:
Settle the body and nervous system
Create space between stimulus and response
Reconnect with inner guidance
Make decisions from clarity rather than fear
Rather than disengaging from the world, this work supports discernment — staying informed without being consumed.
Choosing discernment over reactivity
Inner authority asks different questions:
What is mine to carry, and what is not?
What truly requires my attention right now?
How do I want to respond — not react — to uncertainty?
When we reconnect with our inner guidance, we stop outsourcing our sense of safety and power to the external world.

A simple pause you can try today
Before consuming more information, take a moment and ask:
What is happening in my body right now?
Am I sensing intuition — or fear?
What would grounding look like in this moment?
And remember... sometimes clarity doesn’t come from knowing more, but from listening more deeply.
