have you ever experienced the power of group intention with meditation? When people come together in mind and heart coherence and hold and intention or vision together… It creates a very powerful effect on reality There is something called “the maharishi effect” where when 5,000 people came together in meditation with the intention of peace it decreased violent crimes around the planet by a SUBSTANTIAL percentage Back in 2019 I led a group meditation on youtube and we had 12,000 concurrent people meditating for peace on the planet It was SO POWERFUL! You could FEEL the energy of us all doing it together With all the craziness happening in the world I believe NOW is a time that we come together in mind and heart coherence to set a vision for what timeline or energy we want to experience I believe much of what happens on the planet keeps people in fear and anger and when our energy is dispersed and incoherent.. We look to authority to tell us what to do With all the “documents” released recently this is not longer woo woo tin foil hat assumptions We must come together and raise our vibration together to then experience the reality we want! This is why for the first time in 5 years… I am going to run a LIVE 21 day Raise Your Vibration Challenge! We will be raising our base point vibration from the inside out AND using the power of group energy to not only transform our lives, but also set the intention and vision for what kind of world we want to be in Would you want to join? I’ve been feeling a call to run this live for a while and had the clarity recently that now is the time And I set the intention that those that are meant to join will see this! Lmk in the comments below if you are excited for this! Anyways, I am in Sedona right now with some friends and we are about to go play pickleball Just wanted to share this with you real quick! Talk soon Much love Aaron Doughty p.s on Wednesday I am going to open up this container and together I believe we can put ourselves onto quite literally a new timeline

Today I woke up tired, full of cold, and honestly just wanting to curl up and rest. No makeup, no energy, no polish. In the past, that would have meant one of two extremes: 👉 Collapse completely, disappear into rest, and then struggle for weeks to rebuild momentum. 👉 Or push myself so hard through the exhaustion that I’d crash later anyway. Both paths led to the same place: collapse. But lately I’ve been practicing something different, and it feels like a huge shift. Instead of forcing or disappearing, I’ve been choosing the middle ground. Today that looked like softer tasks: journaling, light admin, responding gently to comments in my community. And then resting in between. It also looked like showing up authentically, tired voice, blocked nose, no makeup, but still showing up. This is what nervous system regulation looks like in daily life. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about powering through. It’s about listening to your body, recognising your state, and finding a way to show up that feels safe and sustainable. And honestly? It feels so much more spacious. Because instead of my body being in fight-or-flight, I can stay regulated even in low energy. That’s the big difference for me: 🌱 Rest is no longer the enemy. 🌱 Work is no longer something I have to perform. 🌱 Both can co-exist in a gentler rhythm. So here’s my reflection for you - How do you show up when your energy is low? Do you collapse, push, or find the middle ground? Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you don’t need to be at 100% to be authentic, impactful, or enough.

childhood patterns may be KILLING your masculine or feminine polarity… You may be collapsing your energy around your partner or on dates this will cause attraction to fade or may BLOCK love all together Polarity and masculine and feminine energy is CRUCIAL to attraction I have had moments in my past where trying to “fix” a partner killed polarity where walking on egg shells was a familiar childhood pattern that also kills polarity everything changed when i shifted these patterns and owned my energy I stopped crushing polarity and that created more passion and attractive energy beyond what I could imagine in my latest conversation with with friend Jordan (who is a relationship coach), we break down: - Why people-pleasing kills masculine/feminine attraction - The subtle way you abandon yourself when you want someone too much - Why chasing approval collapses your core energy - How childhood roles show up in your dating patterns today Most people think polarity dies because of “compatibility.” But what actually kills it is who you become in the moment.

Do you ever enjoy being around people but then feel completely wiped out afterwards? With the holidays coming up, it’s worth knowing your limits before the overload hits. I love socialising and spending time with family, but as someone who’s neurodivergent, I hit my “that’s enough” point fast. I can have the best day, and then suddenly my brain and body shut down and I need quiet. Not because anything is wrong, just because my system is full. And honestly, this happens to many people, not just those of us with ADHD or autism traits. We ignore the early signs, push through, and then wonder why we’re snappy, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Here’s what actually helps me reset: • A soft landing when I get home Comfy clothes, low lights, warm drink, no talking for a bit. • Five minutes of quiet Hand on chest, slow breathing, or just staring out the window and letting my body settle. • Reducing the noise Soft music, no screens, no notifications. Scrolling does not reset you. • Cosy sensory input Blankets, cushions, soft textures. My nervous system loves anything warm and snug. • Letting myself step away Sometimes the kindest thing is saying, “I just need 20 minutes.”It isn’t rude. It’s maintenance. The truth is that even when the socialising is lovely, the recovery still matters. Your system needs space to process before it can show up again. If you get overstimulated too, what helps you reset?

You know those days when you’re not fully sick, but you’re drained, flat and just not yourself?You can function… but it feels heavy. You can work… but the effort feels twice as big. You’re not in burnout, but you’re definitely not in a good place either. That’s the phase I’ve been in this week, and I wanted to talk about it while it’s real. Hi, I’m Mercedes. I work with the nervous system, somatic practices and gentle lifestyle rhythms that support my energy. I’ve been through burnout, overstimulation and long periods of chronic overwhelm, so I know how easy it is to push when your body is asking you to slow down. And this in-between state is the one I used to misunderstand the most. It’s not burnout. It’s not illness. It’s a recuperation phase, where your body is saying “I need a bit more care” but life still needs things from you. Maybe you’ve got work. Maybe you’re running a business. Maybe you’ve got kids who still need you. Maybe your list is full of things you genuinely can’t drop. On days like that, a full rest day just isn’t realistic. But pushing through isn’t the answer either. This is where micro pauses become essential. On a normal day, I can get away with 1–2 minute resets here and there. But when I’m depleted, I stretch those pauses. I’ll do 5–10 minutes of something that actually nourishes my system, slow breathing, gentle stretching, a short walk, or even sitting quietly with a cup of tea. It’s not about doing less. It’s about not letting yourself crash. These small resets keep your energy topped up so you’re not working from empty. They stop the spiral into exhaustion and help you keep going without abandoning yourself in the process. This week has reminded me how necessary this rhythm is. The last couple of weeks have been full-on. Amazing, but intense. My body is clearly trying to recover and I can feel myself dipping, tired, a little run down, low capacity. And instead of forcing myself to “push through,” I’ve been pausing more often and letting those resets hold me.
