Calm Amidst Chaos

In today's blog, Nicole describes her own transformation that's occurred as a result of this protocol.

We have all been there:

One stressful moment snowballs into multiple. You feel your heart rate & cortisol rise, breath become shallow, and body tense from head to toe.

It could be a difficult work meeting that puts you in a bad mood, followed by traffic on the drive home and then a fight with your spouse. A day when nothing goes right, and you’re left feeling frazzled, dysregulated, and emotionally spent.

Challenging moments such as these used to have a significant impact on me, and on all parts of my health. As somebody who is highly sensitive, it didn’t take much to throw my nervous system into a tailspin and derail me – growing up (and until just a few years ago) this was my standard way of operating: stressed and anxious, 24/7. And boy, did it ever grow tiresome.

Living in a constant state of fight or flight became too much for me to handle on my own, and in my mid-thirties I started to explore ways to address this. Acupuncture, therapy, and certain supplements proved helpful, but nothing seemed to get at the root cause underneath it all.

Until just a few months ago, when we finalized our advanced protocol and began testing it out on ourselves.

Part of this new protocol originally took aim at the time of conception, identifying and clearing imbalances that we were exposed to in utero. As we worked on ourselves, we started to notice subtle shifts (along with some very evident purging symptoms) but it wasn’t until just a few weeks ago when it became abundantly clear to me that something significant had happened in my body.

It was a Sunday evening, and I was overjoyed at the fact that I’d just received my Chewy delivery before dinnertime. After researching cleaner cat food brands, I had landed on one that I was excited about – all natural ingredients, no fillers, and far more natural than what my cats had been eating for the past several years.

Alas, one of their digestive systems took issue with this change and was not a fan of the abrupt shift.

30 minutes after they’d finished eating, I heard the infamous retching sound coming from upstairs. When I reached the landing, I was greeted by about 14 different piles of throw up – on carpet, no less.

Not ideal, of course, but before I even had a chance to process what I was seeing, I stepped outside of myself and observed how I was responding to it:

Calm. Grounded. Measured. And not at all rattled.

I walked to the closet to get the rags and stain remover, and started to clean. Without any emotional response whatsoever -  which was truly shocking in the moment. Who was I?

It felt foreign, but also really, really nice. It was a sense of ease that I couldn’t recognize, but I knew that it had come from the protocol.

So much of what I inherited, from both sides of my family, was rooted in emotion. And man, did it ever make an appearance throughout my life, especially during times of stress. My nervous system could easily spiral, manifesting into feelings of overwhelm and internal chaos.

Now that the vast majority of inherited emotion had been cleared from my body, I felt as though my slate had been wiped clean and internal operating system rebooted -  in a really incredible way.

But remember that thing that I said earlier, about one stressful situation snowballing into another? This is where the story gets fun.

It took me about an hour to get the cat mess cleaned up, and once I was finished, I was spent – and ready to go to sleep. Once in bed, I crashed pretty quickly.

Only to be woken up 4 hours later by the smoke detector above my bed chirping.

The lovely low battery alert.

I took a deep breath, got out of bed, and went downstairs to find a new battery.

Still in the same calm and grounded place, I took another moment to revel in how I was responding. No bubbling up emotion, no stress. Just rooted in the mindset of “let’s take care of this and then go back to sleep.”

Alas, the universe had other plans when I discovered that the five 9V batteries I’d found were all expired.

For the vast majority of people, smoke detector chirping is annoying. For somebody highly sensitive, it has the potentially to hit deeper and throw off the nervous system to a more severe degree. (Especially when there is no end in sight.)

But much to my surprise (and delight!) I remained zen, in a way that I could have never dreamed of before. I grabbed a pair of ear plugs, ordered 9V batteries on Amazon, and decided that if I was already awake, I would make the best of it.

So I got some work done, did everything I could to tune out the noise, and didn’t once find myself frazzled.

I firmly believe that I was gifted these back-to-back experiences to show how powerful this work is, from an emotional and spiritual standpoint, and how quickly we are able to evolve.

This wasn’t a byproduct of years of therapy, nor the result of a prescription drug or supplement.

This overhaul of my nervous system was all thanks to the unseen: clearing away the root cause, healing the effects, and restoring my energy to its intended state.

There is truly no better feeling in the world to experience life from a place of being grounded and at ease. I will be forever grateful for this protocol, and for the effect that it's had on us and so many others.

It is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving.
