WHEN YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS DYSREGULATED

Physical matter is energy. It's just compressed. Everything is energy.

It's extraordinary. It is miraculous. It is one extraordinary process of consciousness becoming human experience. This whole through line is that. You are the field of infinite possibilities. It's not out there, it's you.

Hello, hello. Welcome back to The Art of Awakening podcast, where the art of living awake becomes a daily practice. I'm your host, Dr. Sue Morter. It's great to be here with you. There's so much conversation right now about regulating the nervous system that I just have to talk to you guys about it, because it has become a very popular conversation, and actually a brand new concern for many people inside the world of self-healing, natural healing, personal development, and so on. And so inside of this conversation, I want you to have an understanding that perhaps people might not be sharing. This is something that I've been teaching for, I don't know, more than 40 years. I grew up in this conversation of regulating the nervous system. You might know it inside of our conscious community as the trap door conversation, which is about really aligning the conscious mind to the subconscious mind and allowing that communication between two areas of the brain, the thalamus and the hypothalamus, to continue. When those two areas of the brain are not talking to each other, our nervous system is going to get dysregulated, okay? So, we've been talking about this for a long, long time, and more importantly than that, we've been working with that for a long, long time and allowing for that regulation to be established, because that's how we heal. So, when the nervous system is regulated, we are in balance where we can take initiative on something, and we can also sit back and pause in appropriate timeframes, and that we sense and feel and know what to do when, and how it works together. And as such, we become these creative presences on the planet that are engaging and interacting in healthy, harmonious ways. We're healing, we're helping each other heal, we're evaluating life based upon our dreams and our desires, not constantly comparing to the past and what has happened in the past, being overridden by unresolved emotion that is locked up in a dysregulated system. So all of that is super significant. And I want to share some information with you in a way that will allow you to understand on a deeper level what's really going on.

And it has to do with this, this energetic reality that is true in the background that people forget about when they're trying to regulate a nervous system. Because a nervous system is tangible. It's something that you can dissect out of the body. You can trace where the nerves go. You can trace up into the brain where they're reporting. We can certainly stimulate the brain and stimulate nerves and work with experimentation that gives us this, tangible thing to pay attention to and to try to improve our life function and our ability to heal based upon the utilization of this tangible nervous system. But I want you to remember something. Something built the nervous system. There's another system that built the nervous system, and it's an invisible energy system. This electromagnetic energy system is innate intelligence. It is the template that in the developing embryo builds the nervous system and the digestive system and the immune system and the hormonal system and the respiratory system. It's a master system that is energy. There's an energy flowing through your body even still today, that is the same energy that built your body.

It is the same energetic system that when allowed to flow and express itself will heal you of whatever happens. If you injure yourself, if something's been being utilized inappropriately for a long period of time, it'll create imbalances in the body and you'll develop symptoms and a diagnosis is then possible. And that same energy system wanted to be flowing through your body in a harmonized fashion all along it was built to. But we developed habits and patterns and ways of being and we developed ideas about ourselves that weren't enough, that kept us in a state of emergency on an ongoing basis constantly sorting for am I safe, am I enough, am I proving myself well enough, am I going to be accepted and all of those things that we do, that shuts down that energy flow. It doesn't let it flow the way it's supposed to be flowing. And so we end up using our adrenal glands, for instance, far too much. And so we're pumping adrenaline into our bodies all the time. And it's developing, you know, the byproduct of that chemistry is burning tissues and aging us prematurely because we're not built to be excreting that adrenaline, the cortisol into our system on an ongoing basis. We're not built for that. So the tissues exhaust and the adrenal glands exhaust and we fry in a ways. And so, then we reach for the thyroid gland to help us with the energy level that the adrenals are supposed to give us, but they're not giving it to us anymore because they're exhausted because we overused them. And now the thyroid is being used for something it wasn't designed to be used for. So it exhausts, of course. And then we're roller coastering hormonally because the thyroid is out of balance and all because the adrenals, all because of our minds and how we're using the energy that is moving through this system. So that energy that built your body is still running your body. And it's the same energy that heals your body. And the only thing that interrupts that energy is what you do with your mind. What you do with your mind can stop it, can suppress it, can amplify it, can regulate it again. All of it is related to what you do with your mind. However, what you do with your mind is not just related to what's happening in your brain.
