šŸŽ™ļø From Surviving to Thriving: How to Break Free from Survival Mode

Episode 41 of Spiritual Awakening with Shaz

✨ Welcome

In this deep, heartfelt episode, Shaz explores one of the most overlooked aspects of the spiritual awakening journey—survival mode. Whether you’ve felt emotionally flat, hyper-vigilant, or constantly ā€œdoing the workā€ but still stuck, this conversation helps you recognise what survival mode really looks like and how to gently move beyond it into soul-led living.

From childhood trauma to inherited coping mechanisms, Shaz breaks down how survival patterns form—and how you can lovingly shift into a new normal rooted in peace, safety, and expansion.

šŸŽ§ In this episode, you’ll hear:
  • What survival mode looks like (even in spiritual people)

  • Why we unconsciously stay stuck in it—especially as empaths

  • How to recognise trauma responses disguised as ā€œnormalā€

  • Somatic and nervous system tools to calm the body instantly

  • How to reconnect with your soul's guidance once safety returns

  • A personal story of awakening through breaking survival patterns

    āœ” Key Tools and Takeaways:

    šŸŒ€ Understanding survival mode

    — Emotional numbness, anxiety, people-pleasing, and overthinking as survival
    — Why empaths often read energy so deeply—it started as a safety mechanism

    šŸ—£ļø Simple vagus nerve resets:

    — Humming, cold water, long exhales, tapping, and singing
    — The science and soul of why they work

    🌿 Somatic & breath practices:

    — The butterfly tap
    — Box breathing
    — Orienting exercises for grounding
    — Shaking to release stored energy

    šŸ’— Shifting into thriving:

    — Setting boundaries before burnout
    — Recognising intuitive yes vs. survival-mode yes
    — How calm environments support healing
