You Want Rest… But You’ve Just Sat Down to Scroll Again | ASMR Reiki

🔗 Work with me or join the Patreon. Links below. You said: ''I AM RESTING! THIS IS RESTING!'' You sat down. Fluffed the cushion, letting out a familiar and frustrated sigh. Finally you found silence, but your husband walked in the room making weird animal noises. …and then your phone ended up in your hand again. Because screens feel nicer than almost every single noise your husband makes. (We love you really guys) Scrolling, not relaxing. Wired but tired like you dropped 6 stimulants with your morning coffee. But you want fluffy pillows and lavender. Not speed. Not algorithms and adverts and all the buzzy stuff that makes your responsibilities as a parent feel like you're walking Kilimanjaro on 3 hours sleep. The only thing growing is your cheek muscle from all that clenching. Well, this is for that moment. When you want to switch off… but you haven't switched off since before your child was born in 2014, when we were posting cat pictures on Instagram and taking payday loans. You're not lazy or bad at resting. It's actually a safety response. Your nervous system thinks stillness is a monster. So you get pulled towards distraction as a way to feel safe. In this session, we're working gently with your root chakra. The part of your system connected to: Safety (it's not a debt collector at the door) Grounding (both feet on the carpet, darling) Stability (the world isn't ending. You simply said yes to bottomless brunch again and now you're paying for it in ways that have nothing to do with prosecco) This is a space to soften a bit. No pressure to do it perfectly. No expectation to suddenly feel amazing. Simply somewhere to slump without your phone lighting up your face. And if you do pick your phone up… no worries 😌 Simply notice it, sweetheart.
