Capacity: Energy Release, or Cultivation?
|
The Attuned Newsletter - 2026 Edition 3 Thank you for being here. I truly appreciate your time and attention. My suggestion? Before reading, brew a nice cup of something, take a few deep breaths and get comfy. Below are three sections:
An Follow Along Video Below is a 10-minute Nervous System Recalibration to help you sense deeply, move powerfully and create freely. This helps you shift your state and glimpse a new way of being. But shifting your state is only part of the picture. Next, you need to consolidate it. Which means practice - repetitive, challenging, nervous-system informed practice that creates longer-lasting change so you don't have to keep recalibrating every day. This involves a systematic training process and education in the bodily, energetic and psychological change process. The goal: for temporary states of expansion to become baseline stages. A Life Insight To build capacity, zoom out from today and look at the bigger picture patterns. The goal is to increase your likelihood of success over time — not just this week. What systems and habits can you invest in to raise that likelihood from possible to inevitable? Do NOT make the mistake most people make and conflate energy release with energy cultivation. That coffee? Energy release. Again, trends over time will reveal the truth. But if you're not sure whether "x" is releasing or cultivating energy over time, ask yourself: "Am I acting from urgency/fear or from confident, committed patience? Short term impatience leads to long term stagnation. We both know coffee is fucking delicious. But it isn't energising you. It's depleting you, and you're just addicted to the stress response. If you're hitting the stimulant to be productive and but yourself more rest time later, the be honest... are you actually catching up on rest? Are you actually being strategic about it? If you want to flirt with the stimulants, try napping for 20 minutes immediately after drinking a coffee, so you wake up fresh. Better than not having a nap at all. What I Did This Week

I’m struggling because I’ve realised the world is run by YEAST. Literally. Sounds absolutely fucking unhinged. But I’m not the first to say it, and I won’t be the last. It’s going to take a few minutes to explain, but trust me m8’s, my logic is bulletproof. First, there is fear. Fear is not its own frequency, but rather, a reaction between frequencies.Fear is essentially what happens when our natural human resonance meets a frequency we perceive as dissonant. It’s what happens in the moment...
It's strange to look back at my life and see the depth of suffering and the immense privilege. Dad was already making $$$ by the time I was born. For me as a kid, there was no such thing as a "money problem". We just had enough. We could travel, buy pretty much whatever we wanted. Obviously not anything, we weren't that rich... but Dad had a Porsche, and we had a couple houses. Pretty sweet. In the years that followed, I have certainly experienced money problems. A lot of financial stress....
Making Decisions Under Pressure Some decisions carry significant weight. Especially when it comes to intimate relationships, career and health. How do we manage these times when we know there is a very real, potentially catastrophic consequence? Rushing will not do. But neither will freezing, stalling or approaching from a stressed, incoherent state. You need to be solid in yourself. And yet flowing, open, receptive. What a skilful thing, to embody that paradox. I've had my fair share of...
