This week reminded me how even joyful or exciting moments can create unexpected waves in the body.
✨ I received a heart-opening surprise, something that made me go “Wow!”
🐞 Then the next moment, I was startled—I got bitten by a tick!
Such opposite experiences, yet both left me feeling overstimulated and needing to reset.
Why? Because our nervous system doesn’t always distinguish between “good” or “bad” energy. It simply responds to how much is coming at once.
⚡ Big Emotions = Big Energy
Whether it’s a miracle, a shock, or just a surprise, the body feels it all:
-
Your sympathetic nervous system switches on (that’s your fight-or-flight mode).
-
You might feel hyper-alert, overwhelmed, or suddenly very tired.
-
Even happy news can leave you overstimulated or emotional.
And that’s okay.
What matters is knowing how to ground again. Because when we don’t, the nervous system stays stuck in alert-mode—even long after the moment passes.
🌬️ Tips to Settle Your Nervous System After Big Energy
Here’s what I use and offer clients after moments of high stimulation:
💆♀️ Craniosacral therapy or reflexology – gentle ways to calm the system
👂 Ear acupressure – using gold ear seeds to soothe the vagus nerve and rebalance hormones
🌿 Flower remedies and essential oils – like Rescue Remedy, lavender, or chamomile
🧘♀️ Breathwork or gentle movement – to release held energy and restore calm
🫖 Cooling herbal teas – like tulsi (holy basil), lemon balm, or fennel
These are gentle, accessible ways to bring your body and mind back into harmony.
