Reflection 4 – Emotional Overactivation
Not every intense inner state is a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes the system is simply carrying too much activation — too much input, too much emotion, too much unprocessed tension at once. This reflection offers a gentle pause to consider what emotional overactivation feels like in the body, how it shapes our reactions, and what it means to return to steadiness without judgment.
