Living on Overwhelm
©2001 by Martin Bulgerin, BioPsciences Institute

In this time of crisis, outer world events are happening so quickly and with such intensity that you can easily lose contact with your inner world and the guiding light inside.

Without this calm center, you start running on sheer nervous energy all the time, eventually leading to stress, burnout, and unforgiving overwhelm. Your actions gradually become less and less effective, so that at some point, you're doing a lot of running around but you have no results to show for the effort. Besides taking your vitamins and getting some sleep occasionally, there are some flower essences that are perfect for this dizzy, nervous state.

click to read or post to our message board about vibrational/flower essencesThe Flower Essence Society has one called Indian Pink that is excellent for living in a state of high chaos. When emotional agitation and stress related to constant activity knock you off center, Indian Pink helps you handle the strain without becoming depleted.

The Austalian Bush Flower Remedy called Paw Paw is very similar in effect. It's particularly suited to situations where you have to make crucial life decisions or where you feel like you're being buried in a glut of information that you can't process.

In either case, the tendency is to shut down and stop functioning when you need to continue working. Paw Paw is also reputed to aid digestive problems, especially when these have a nervous cause (that "knot in the stomach" when you're overwhelmed). Paw Paw often works well with another Bush remedy, Crowea, that calms a state of worry and agitation.

About two years ago, I made one of my astrological remedies under chaotic circumstances. I gave it the nickname Electric Dreamtime to commemorate Neptune's passage into the electrical sign of Aquarius. I remembered this remedy a few weeks ago, instantly realizing this was the same kind of nervous energy as we're feeling now. A few drops seems to calm me down and bring me back into my body instantly, releasing the nervous tension that builds up in the muscles and shuts down the breath.

Life dishes out strange and stressful times like these every now and again. There's not much you can do about that. You CAN change how you react to these times, however.

If you can stay calm and rooted in your spiritual core instead of spinning out of control, it doesn't matter how crazy the world gets. With a little help from the flower essences, you can keep even the biggest crisis in perspective. Keep smiling...
