#92 - Dr. Michael Smith Part 2 - Healing in Midst of Collective Overwhelm

Today, we continue where we left off in Part One with Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Michael Smith from Soma Dao Qigong. In this conversation, he shares with us the six common ways we experience overwhelm—and, most importantly, what we can do to navigate and heal from it- which are instinctually, viscerally, intuitively, emotionally, egoically, and existentially. I, Mannah, bring in reflections on the archetype of Pisces, and as you may know, this energy is not just about heightened sensitivity and the risk of overwhelm, but also about profound healing and deep compassion. I recommend this episode anytime you feel overstimulated or fatigued or losing sleep - there is a way to shift states, because maybe what has happened is that we are back in the past, at a nervous system level. Dr. Michael Smith offers powerful imagery and associations to help us break free from the grind- with great generosity, he guides us through methods and exercises to support healing -Let yourself have this one. Join us as we explore: • Times of Piscean closure and how we are affected by that energy • Dreams and how they were revered in other cultures • Whether something beyond us orchestrates the messages we receive in dreams • How to heal from the symptoms of overwhelm • Why working with our earliest traumas is essential • Metaphors around the horse, rider, and binoculars • Trauma therapy and that the only way is healing the wound I truly hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.
