Misdirected or Frazzled Energy: Anxiety and PTSD Edition
Feb 07, 2025
Energy needs a place to go, otherwise it festers in your body and causes you to do uncharacteristic things. Just think about a hyperactive child. If the child could redirect that energy, the energy could be used to create a positive outcome. Without direction, it's just an erratic child with pent up misdirected energy. With direction, it's the channeling of energy (transmutation) into building a sandcastle (creating an outcome), learning to run and becoming an athlete (creating a transformation and outcome), putting their hands to use help baking or cooking (maybe they become a chef), learning to play the piano, dance, sew, paint, create music - the list goes on and you get the picture. Trauma stuck in the body can also cause uncharacteristic behaviour (personality), and - for all intents and purposes, we are going to chat energy in this short blog post.
Often times with anxiety and PTSD we are unconscious to the wafting of the mind and more receptive to the sensations of the body, which, if unconsciously tended to - misdirect our energy, ourself and our results.
Often times, it's simply the difference between knowing what to do and doing it vs wafting unconsciously into the ether as days, months and years pass by. Think about when you are given instructions to execute and you are excited about them. You have the instructions and you feel a certain way about the instructions. This combination of things changes the outcome for the positive.
Join me in the movement and mindfulness studio and I will show you how to ask yourself the questions that get to the root of what's stopping you, and I ask you te questions that get the right feeling into your body and mind to motivate you to take action. It really is that simple. If I had the resources I share in the studio when I needed them, my ptsd and head injury recovery would have been much different. I was going from past recall and muscle memory - while living with a head injury that caused me temporary short term memory loss. There are pros and cons to everything, it's just a matter of how urgently you want to get on with life. I just want you to know that you can live a full and happy life sooner than you think, and that you can be a powerful manifesting machine (co-creator in this life) while you are doing the healing (because the healing never stops).
This message must be one that really wants to make its way earthside, because I was about to leave the door (house) and I was drawn to open my computer and leave a title as a blog post for me to back later to - and instead, my fingers are typing faster than I can near think.
I do hope you enjoy and please do ask me anything, at any time.
With love, Sloan
