Your Higher Self Doesn't Need Nervous System Regulation (But You Still Do)

Because we are temporarily disguised as humans, nervous system regulation has to become a way of life. And the more we can bring love and compassion for ourselves to that process, the easier it will be.

So we need to know how to regulate our nervous system and we need to do it with love and kindness. The trick is remembering that the calm you’re trying to regulate back into already exists — it’s the frequency your higher self lives in.

And we will empower ourselves exponentially each time we can do it from our higher self's perspective. With curiosity about and love for the human version of ourselves.

The Moment My Higher Self Rescued Me

I had a major freak-out a week or so. Nothing big. Only the fate of my entire existence.

But the next morning, as I reflected back on it, I realized that it was me, as my higher self who rescued me. I was trying to calm down and I said something like, "I love you, Jeanine. It's gonna be okay."

And that was the switch! From there, I remembered that I didn't have the obsidian and garnet that I usually wear, so I went to go get them and then, held them. And that ultimately led to discounting the thing I had heard (in a video) that triggered me.

Because it had occurred to me that every piece of info or guidance, innocently designed to be helpful, might have some degree of contamination due to a lifetime of programming or conditioning, or to a direct interference attempt from darkness.

I decided that when I take something in that frightens me, I need to deal with that by remembering who benefits from my fear, and then look for the part of the information that might not be true or might even be irrelevant because of who and what I am (infinite, empowered, connected to Spirit, etc). But I can only do that kind of thinking from the observer position and the observer is my higher self, inner goddess, goddess self, etc.

So this is another reason why it's important to check in frequently to see who is running the show. But doing so is never more important than when we have been triggered, or are feeling afraid.

And I'm actually grateful for the experience because it reminded me that regulation isn’t something I do, it’s something I return to when I let my higher self lead the way. Because my higher self doesn’t panic, but she knows how to hold the human me who does.

When Fear Takes Over:
​Look for the LIE

If you are feeling afraid, hurt, anger, despair or other strong negative feelings, there is some limiting belief you're not aware of and your nervous system is sounding the alarm.

Said more frankly - you're believing a lie. And not remembering who you are.

And if you can intervene there, you'll shift into your higher self's perspective. The moment you step back into observation, your body gets the message that you’re safe again.

(1) Survivor Self = fear, outrage, despair, hopelessness

(2) Higher Self = love, empowerment, trust 

When you notice (as I did) that you’ve slipped into your survivor self, try to avoid judging yourself. Just notice it and breathe.

You can’t fight your way out of fear (like I tried to do), but you can love your way back into peace. That moment of awareness becomes the bridge between your human self and your higher self.

​

The Peace that's Already Yours

​The truth is, your higher self never left peace. She’s been here all along, waiting for you to remember that it’s safe to relax back into her arms.

Nervous system regulation, from that perspective, becomes more reunion than recovery.

The next time you feel that alarm go off, pause and remind yourself that you're safe and loved. And that this is just another moment that calls for remembering who you are. 

You might still reach for your crystals, or light a candle, or journal through your fear. But underneath all of it, your higher self is there, feeling and offering the peace you already have.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
