Feeling sensitive and overwhelmed? Come back to calm with this healing tool

A few days ago I was feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. I’d been giving too much of myself to too many things and not replenishing.

Sound familiar?

I know a lot of us have this feeling and when we do, the smallest thing can cause great upset. Sounds, smells and people all become unbearable. And you know it’s irrational, but you can’t help it because you’re exhausted and vulnerable - much like the kids we love when they throw tantrums.

As a parent this is multiplied, and of course when your energy is off everything around you goes wrong. You get bumped by people on the street, technology is glitchy, any commute is worse and all the people you love - your spouse, parents and without a doubt your kids - go awol.

If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed, highly sensitive or triggered, the technique below will help you stay calm and centered. It’s also extraordinarily helpful to put yourself in this pose if someone you love is upset because it keeps your energy stable so they can feel what they’re feeling and move through it with ease.

Big love,
