In today’s media-driven world, many of us are caught in cycles of stress, anxiety, and disconnection, often feeling at odds with ourselves and the world around us.
Mainstream media, with its sensationalism and constant barrage of negative news, plays a pivotal role in keeping us in a sympathetic state—essentially, in “fight or flight.” But the solution is not simply to disconnect or retreat.
Instead, by doing the inner work to reclaim our energy and balance, we can reconnect to our hearts, restore meaningful relationships, and ultimately find our higher selves.
This is a journey back to Source consciousness—a living remembrance that we were always connected.
Breaking Free from Fear and Media Manipulation
The Lower Three Chakras & Sympathetic Activation
Our sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight-or-flight response, activating whenever we perceive a threat.
In today’s media landscape, where fear, outrage, and sensationalized headlines dominate, this activation has become near-constant.
The lower three chakras — Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus — govern survival instincts, primal emotions, and personal power. When triggered too often, they anchor us in chronic anxiety and defensive living.
Psychologically, constant sympathetic activation dulls our intuition and impairs clear thinking. Physiologically, it can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, and drain life force energy (Porges, 2011).
Mainstream media exploits these primal systems to keep our attention hooked.
Understanding this is the first step toward liberation.
The Importance of Inner Work and Balance
True healing begins when we intentionally shift into parasympathetic mode — the realm of “rest and digest.”
Practices like grounding, meditation, breathwork, and somatic awareness allow the body and spirit to recalibrate.
Mindfulness has been shown to lower cortisol and regulate emotions (Zeidan et al., 2010). And from an energetic perspective, reconnecting to the heart chakra lifts us out of fear and into resonance with compassion, creativity, and authenticity.
Doing the inner work isn't about escaping the world — it’s about reclaiming your energetic sovereignty within it.
The Path to Reconnection—Finding Our Tribe and Source Consciousness
Reconnecting to the Heart and Upper Chakras
Healing the lower chakras creates a bridge to the heart — the great integrator of above and below. Through heart-centered living, we naturally awaken the Throat (truth), Third Eye (vision), and Crown (divinity) chakras.
As these centers activate, we move beyond fear-based survival into intuitive, connected, Source-aligned existence. We become magnetic to our soul tribe — others walking the same path of authenticity and remembrance.
We are no longer pulled into the loneliness or separation manufactured by fear narratives. Instead, we live in the radiant truth that we were never truly alone.
Research echoes this: connectedness — to others, to nature, and to Spirit — reduces anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation (Haidt, 2006).
The more we remember our interconnectedness, the less the outside noise controls us.
The Holy Sound—Living in Harmony with Source
The Crown Chakra and Samadhi
At the pinnacle of spiritual integration lies the Crown chakra—the energy center of direct connection to Source. It is through this portal that we receive divine downloads, higher wisdom, and the blissful unity known as Samadhi.
Samadhi is not some distant goal reserved for mystics; it is the natural state available when we return to who we really are: whole, complete, already connected. The Samadhi documentary (2017) describes this beautifully — it is the transcendence of ego into pure being.
When the energy centers along the spine are harmonized, the Crown blossoms like a lotus, allowing you to receive what was always your birthright: Divine resonance.
Finding Your Holy Sound
Each of us carries a unique holy sound — a soul frequency that reflects our divine origin. It is the sacred vibration of our awakened self, expressed through creativity, intuition, and service.
Paramahansa Yogananda spoke of the primordial vibration of Om as the underlying song of creation (Yogananda, 1946). Through meditation and energy alignment, we not only hear this song — we become it.
The journey to Samadhi is not about striving. It’s about relaxing back into the pulse of who you are.
Conclusion: Living in Alignment with Source
By tending to our inner world, harmonizing our energy centers, and reclaiming sovereignty over our attention, we heal the fractures fear has caused.
We restore connection — to Self, to Others, and to the Infinite.
And as we reconnect, we remember: You are not broken. You are sacredly cyclical, divinely intelligent, naturally supernatural.
Just as Jesus said, “Salvation (enlightenment) is received, not given,”
so too is the crown chakra an open receiver — that glowing halo seen above the saints.
The halo is not a symbol of separation — it is a reminder.
A sign that the crown is awakened, the channels are open, and the divine flow is living within.
When you activate your Crown, you don’t become something you weren't before.
You remember what you’ve always been:
– A pulse of Source.
– A thread of Divine DNA woven into the living universe.
– A being so natural — so peaceful — that it is, in truth, supernatural.
And that’s not cheesy. That’s who you really are.
