This episode explores the rarely discussed but profoundly important topic of spiritual emergency—the moments when awakening becomes overwhelming, destabilizing, or terrifying instead of enlightening. Lisa explains how these crises occur when consciousness expands faster than the nervous system can handle, often triggered by trauma, grief, meditation, breathwork, or plant medicine. She shares her own intense experience, describing the unraveling, paranoia, and vulnerability that can arise when the psyche is blown open without proper grounding or support. The episode offers practical guidance on navigating such emergencies safely, highlighting the importance of discernment, nervous system regulation, energetic boundaries, and knowing when to seek therapeutic or medical help. Above all, it emphasizes that you’re not “crazy”—you’re moving through one of the most transformative thresholds of the human spiritual journey.
