What if nervous system regulation has become a new form of spiritual bypass?
In these intense times, are we calming ourselves to cope or to avoid? In this episode, Amisha Tala Oak returns with a deeply honest and timely solo reflection, asking what presence, care, and connection really mean in an era of collapse, disinformation, and genocide.
Through story, poetry, spiritual insight, and AI, she explores how the language of “boundaries,” “regulation,” and “manifestation” can unintentionally isolate us, cutting us off from grief, from each other, and from the living world.
This episode is a call to move beyond hyper-individualism and bypass culture, to reclaim a slow, grounded rhythm that expands our capacity to feel, to stay, to co-regulate, and to be of service.
In this episode, Amisha speaks to:
:: The deep grief and quiet beauty of this moment in history
:: How “boundaries,” “regulation,” and “positivity” can sometimes cut us off from real connection
:: Why nervous systems, activism, and joy must be woven together
:: Dismantling the myths of New Age individualism
:: Remembering our capacity to care, co-regulate, and be part of a living world
:: And the power of a slow, unwavering rhythm, one that holds us through the long dark
