Coping with Global Overwhelm 🌍

Lee shares his insights and the perspective of his guides, The Z's, on the effect the current global overwhelm is having on all of us, and shares some suggestions for navigating the 'energy ocean' we're in at this time, in this clip from the April 2022 Energy Tune-Up broadcast for members of #ThePortal, his monthly members community.

This is the most horrendously overwhelming time for those of us who are deeply sensitive conscious awakened beings who on top of knowing what is and has been going on but losing our loved ones in highly traumatic circumstances. I lost my father last year, who I was deeply connected to, and like many kept away from him due to these horrific inhumane COVID rules. The trauma, rage and deep sadness I feel is overwhelming. In nine months five special people departed in varying degrees of traumatic departure and I'm trying to get through daily on top of dealing with this collective insanity and be there for my daughters. The deep fatigue of the soul is sometimes too much... Despite telling myself I chose to be here in these times of the so called great shift I sometimes wonder if it was almost a punishment for past karma! It's really the most insane emotional rollercoaster and only nature, music and meditation seem to keep me going...

[@livethelawofone27]

I am avoiding other humans as much as possible!! I find nature my place of solice and happiness. I’ve always been a “peoples person” but my gosh have I changed! I always wonder, where are these fellow like minded people I see comment on line 💚 A time of the hermit. The time of reflection and love 🙏🏼

I have to remind myself that many experiences are happening for us! and for the ones I love and it helps provide us contrast, the dark or heavy energy experiences call us to seek the light. It's going to be okay, things are working out, stay neutral and hold space for the shadow, it deserves love too.

[@kristijohansen5874]

Sensitivity was talked about 30 years ago but it was seen to be a problem, a character fault. We had to hide the sensitivity.

[@juneschock9551]

Absolutely true! Phrases like you are too sensitive! Crybaby. Wimp. Suck it up. Endless put downs.

People mistook sensitivity for weakness, and still do. But it takes a lot of strength to be a sensitive in this world.

Morning pages and weekly solo artist dates have been so helpful to revitalise my creative energy. Yoga asanas or crazy dancing in the living room is great for releasing stagnant energy :) Cold shower meditation and closing my eyes and observing the breath and sensations is the glue that holds it all together. Much love Lee 💝

[@kittyodonoghue430]

This really speaks to me as a sensitive. I sometimes forget that people have different levels of sensitivity. Many people are super sensitive and have no language too express it. I'm glad the language is evolving to encompass the feelings. Thankyou🙏🏻🌿🌊✨

[@radiantlove9232]

Thank you for this message Lee! Perfect timing as a confirmation of what I was feeling yesterday. For no apparent reason I felt irritable, easily triggered, weepy. I did feel it was not mine, but the world's energy I was taking on as the sensitive empath I am. I decided to nurture myself by spending a lot of time in nature and in quiet inner stillness even as I did housework and shopping. At the beginning and end of my day I spent longer than usual in meditation and today I woke feeling much better! Self care is definitely more effective than trying to comfort and please those around me as has been my old practice! I grateful for teachers like you Lee, who encourage this! Much love to you!

[@barbaras.7513]

It was so spot on today. I feel the global overwhelm and realize that I don't know what to do with it. So your reminder of selfcare was very helpful.Thank you.

So deeply true! I loved your analogy of swimming in the ocean. I live near the ocean and have gone swimming in it so many times from my youth till now and it does change dramatically throughout a day, even. I have had to change how I swim, how I approach the water, even understanding when I need to leave it for the shore, due to my individual strength to handle it when it is rough, or when my own body is just to tired and I need rest. It feels truly like this in these current times. I was also feeling grateful of the past years, especially the last two, when I grew so much internally, acquired so many new tools in the semi isolated periods, they have really been deeply helpful to me in this current energy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lee for this video!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@archaeologyforthesoul1811]

Again, you are speaking directly to me. I did all that and more to keep mom content. Needless to say I became the Caregiver. I was the unhealthy caregiver for a long time.

🍃I agree these current times are full of turmoil energy that is challenging to cope with on a daily bases. I recognize that everyone is experiencing these times differently which is their personal journey. As a collective it seems we are going through a dark period which brings heaviness. It is this heaviness that I find overwhelming. What seems to be working for me is to stay more neutral to find the breathing space needed to help me connect with my feelings before taking my next action or non action. I also find the more I acknowledge and accept what is happening it takes away that heaviness which frees me up to see the best way to serve others. Thanks Lee and Z's for this post it is timely! ❤🤗🤗🤗🍃

I find it so comforting to know that it's not just me feeling like the entire energy of the World has so much changed from two or three yeas ago. Whenever I go to a familiar place for the first time in ages I expect to feel a certain way, but everywhere feels so different to me. Even people feel different. Can be a bit scary as so weird!

*It's a blessing to be allowed to be our sensitive nature.* I was visiting my grandpa the other day, and he talked about the bank coming to take his grandpa's farm. The way he dealt with that was by aiming his gun toward the collector, and he was ready to shoot. People killed eachother all the time over their self-interest. It is harder for us to accept the violence today that was commonplace before. *Human beings are adaptable.* We adapt to any situation, and now our task is to create new environments. *Environment shapes the human being more than we'd like to admit.* We want to believe we're self directed when, really, *our actions are all that we can be held responsible for.* There's much more going on.

Wow Lee absolutely on point!!! I felt like you were talking directly to me, i going through 'everything' you talked about and its been so so hard. Feeling 'everything', all of the time. Everyday it feels like someone is pouring a 50Ltr bucket of water into my overflowing glass and still expecting me to keep still and carry on. My frustration levels have been huge, others have been irritating the c@#p our of me, I have been boucing of others here there and everywhere. But for the first time in a while just today took some quiet time, drew some light oracle cards with some heart meditation, spent some time doing something I love and then opened my laptop to your video which I felt incredibly timely. I feel like im about to turn a little corner into something better. Your videos are like a gentle hug saying 'its ok, you will be alright, we are all here together' and its so appreciated, much love ❤️

Spot on with today’s message Lee and the Z’s. Thank you. ❤️ There is comfort in knowing we are in this together and that there are others that understand what it’s like to be hyper sensitive to the present energy of the world. As a highly sensitive empath I am finding that I have to be more mindful then ever before to monitor my emotional state and make a conscious effort to take the best care of myself that I can. Thank God I’ve have had some practice with this, being that I am 66 years old. What’s helping me stay afloat during these turbulent and uncertain time’s is # 1 to connect with and rely on the strength and wisdom of my soul along with the support of those that guide me from the “other side”. # 2 I have had to limit the amount of exposure to the world news as it is very easy for the atrocities occurring to quickly overwhelm me. # 3 I also am able to surf the waves of feeling the emotional state of world by dedicating time each day to my art. Though I find my inspiration a bit dulled by it all I refuse to let that zap me of my creativity. As a result of these practices I’ve been able to keep my faith that there will be better days ahead and that “this too shall pass” as my mother used to say. Do I have days that depression seeps in in spite of my efforts ? yes I do, but I am grateful to have the tools to eek forward when the overwhelm is too much. One day, one moment at a time is my moto at this point, least the pain of the world gobble us up. I love the saying, “It’s always darkest before the dawn”. ❤️✨🤗✨❤️

[@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185]

Yes, sister. Thank you for the message. It seems there's a lot of us in this 66ish age bracket, born around '55. We are being called to open and expand-- odd! After spending all these years hiding/protecting ourselves! But I love your 1,2, and 3. One day at a time, let go of my ego and pray: only for the knowledge of God's will for me and the Power to carry it out. We can do this! Sending light and love

[@diaryofalightworker]

Thank you for mentioning the over-active nervous system❤🙏 This is definitely what I am experiencing.. I am more sensitive then ever and feel a lot within my body. A lot of information therefore as well is coming in. Adjusting, balancing and letting new, more supportive behaviours and choices to unfold, to really guard my inner peace.

[@claudiacockerill226]

It is so important to daily ground myself, using my gratitude journey and then meditate. Letting go of judgement and creating new healthy routines does allow peace of mind and helps me to replace shock and anxiety. It certainly can feel unsettling and wonky. Thank you Lee for your podcasts and for channeling the Z’s for guidance. It is greatly improving my self care with changing my old patterns and allowing me to stay in my own moment to moment living but I do see myself starting to create better boundaries without absorbing the others peoples energies or the feeling overwhelming sadness for world disasters. It’s certainly a work in progress. Sending everyone calm, blessings and creative, kind and joyful energies.🤗🌞💓💝😘

Juicing a bunch of veggies and roots and fruits while letting them know I love them. Welcoming their liquid sunlight and lives to the universe of ME. There's so many little lives living inside of us. Our bodies are like a universe unto itself. Microcosms to the macrocosm on and on. Drinking lots of water is so important to flush out all of the old. Program your water with love and healing. Just give it intention. It helps raise my frequency and so my nervous system has an easier time adjusting or coping with all that's going on.

Blessings beautiful souls, Lee who are more in touch after an awakening and enlightenment. It is intense in some days and less in the other. I've made a COMMITMENT to myself to have Julia Cameron as my mentor during these times of recovering my creativity through her book, The Artist Way. It's my 5th day and I can already feel some resistance. It's good because I'm also allowing myself to DO my daily MORNING PAGES on my favourite JOURNAL and go on an ARTIST DATE with my inner artist. :) The level of THIS COMFORT is palpable. And I love it. Because I'm making a game out of it. A spiritual gift, training for SELF-MASTERY. Let's be kind, patient, compassionate, and nurture ourselves during these CONSTANT CHANGE. Your NEEDS matter.

Thank you so much for your voice and free videos Lee. I am sooooo grateful for you and for all you share here and on your brilliant podcasts. You come across to me as being so wise, honest, calm, educated and centred in all that you impart to us truly coming from your heart. You so often give me the grounding I need to go forward, whether it's a good, or bad day. This message resonated so much as I spent my childhood and to some extent adulthood trying to make the energy in the house 'right' in case things 'kicked off'. I've only learned at 63 years of age that this was what I was actually doing in the past 6 months and, indeed still do, to some extent when my radar picks up that same energy. Only age and experience has taught me to not absorb it all now but its sometimes not easy. But thanks to the kind people such as yourself doing such great work for us all I feel so much better as time goes on. With much love and gratitude xx

I needed this. I feel more overwhelmed easily these days than I can ever remember in my life. I think that I used to be able to successfully suppress the feeling of it but that no longer is an option. Trying to do that makes things much worse. I’ve had to take the opportunity often to utilize techniques I’ve learned from my therapist on what to do in situations of overwhelm. She came up with a funny sounding acronym of DIB. They stand for Distract (find something to distract your attention, I find that looking at cute animal video reels on instagram helps!), I stands for ice pack (if you’re really ungrounded, the shock of cold could help you get out of your head, put it on your chest where your vagus nerve is) and B is for Breathing (I like to utilize something called box breathing, breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breath out for 4 and hold for 4. Equally it also a good idea to excuse yourself away from a situation into another quiet space while you DIB. Thought I would share this for anyone who may be struggling. Believe me I know how hard it is when you reach your limit. I’ve had to get much more curious about what triggers it. Boundaries are something I’m still learning to advocate for for myself. It’s one of my biggest challenges yet! Wish all of you well.

[@coosje6860]
