Our society, culture, and modern way of living have our nervous system at a maxed-out capacity daily. Also, we have been conditioned to focus on what is happening externally, which should somehow shift whatever discomfort is present internally. This overstimulated lifestyle has our bodies in a state of numbness to at least survive the perceived danger, threat, and chaos in the world, our country, our city, our work, our family, our friends, and our health. If we also add that trauma is a prevalent and pervasive experience for human beings, numbness is just a natural response to it all.
Moving your attention and efforts towards your inner world is a higher response and a natural way to recenter yourself: your body, mind, and emotions. Human beings are sentient, which is natural for us to feel. Even not feeling anything, feeling a lack is a way of sharing what we are experiencing in sentient terms. When you move your attention inwards, you see that everything that bothers you seems to threaten you or you have a problem with is a messenger with a higher message. Something within needs to be resolved, healed, or integrated, and that’s what the messenger brings. It’s wise to follow that guidance and discover what your soul needs to feel centered and present.
