Season Five Wrap-Up Nervous System Regulation, Energetic Shifts, and What's Coming

Season Five Wrap-Up  Nervous System Regulation, Energetic Shifts, and What's Coming in Season Six

We're closing Season Five of Showing Up Whole by looking back what has changed over the last year and a half, what intensified, and why nervous system regulation and spiritual alignment matter more as the world gets louder and faster. 

The world feels different lately, and not just in the headlines.

 I'm feeling it in my body: intuition that moves faster, dreams that go deeper, and a nervous system that can get rattled when collective energy spikes.

In this episode, we connect the dots between nervous system regulation, energetic frequency, and the practical choice to make your expanded self feel familiar instead of retreating to old patterns.
 I share a client example where anxiety isn't a failure, it's a merge point: the old self pulling toward what's known while the expanded self pulls toward what's true. 

If you've been hard on yourself for feeling stressed, scattered, or overly sensitive, this episode will help you reframe that experience with compassion instead of self-judgment.

I also share a personal London synchronicity that became a lesson in trust, co-creation, and letting flow lead, plus a first look at what's coming in Season Six.

In this episode, we cover:

• Reflecting on Season Five's standout conversations and why they resonated so deeply
• Sensing 2026 as a new energetic time, with sharper polarity and intensity
• Noticing faster intuition, deeper dreaming, and heightened energetic sensitivity
• Understanding anxiety as a nervous system merge point between old habits and your expanded self
• Identifying the "familiar" as  comfort, but how to shift it to expansion
• Practicing your truest self until it becomes second nature
• Building trust and faith while releasing fear-based control
• Nervous system regulation through root chakra grounding and crown chakra connection
• Choosing light daily through intention, gratitude, and breathwork

Season Five guest highlights:

• Prune Harris — energy healing tools I still teach and reference often
• Crystal Dawn — deconstructing religion, one of this season's most resonant conversations
• Dr. Erin Brown — the Schumann Resonance and the science behind energetic frequency
• Dr. Allison Kay — practical manifestation tools for everyday alignment
• Joanna Hunter- Manifestation and The Energy of Abundance.

Season Finale And Energetic Pause

Christina 0:00

Hi, and welcome back to Showing Up Whole, the place where we discuss alignment in mind, body, heart, and spirit in every aspect of our lives. Today we're doing a little bit of a rewind and a little bit of a forecasting forward because we are ending season five of Showing Up Hole. And before we embark on season six, it's important to lean in to what's changed over the last season, what is shifting, and how this current world that we're living in is asking more of us. And welcome back. It is most definitely time. You know, most people look at these types of things and either work with dates or certain numbers of episodes of when uh seasons are ending and when new ones begin. I am looking at it energetically. I'm going to be taking a pause for a couple of weeks and then leaning into a bit of a realignment of energy. You might not notice if you're a usual frequent listener, you might not notice any difference in the format of the show or anything that changes. But what we're going to be working on is just a different energy shift because we are in a very different energetic time. But first, I want to honor season five. I was scrolling back through the various episodes. I believe we're at this will be number 36, which is a long season in my mind. I kind of function on a T television series season of 22 episodes or something of the like. So, you know, the olden days where we used to watch shows of September through to June, and then we would watch summer reruns for the summer. I'm tempted to do some reruns for this summer because I really am in awe of some of the conversations and some of the things that have been talked about and worked through in this season and in the podcast in general. You know, we started this season all the way back in June 20, uh January 2025, a year and a half ago. I had the interview with Prune Harris, who honestly I am still in complete awe of. And I still quote all the time. I I lead people to Prune Harris's episode all the time, and I teach the various tools that she has offered us all the time. Her work has been absolutely instrumental and inspiring to me.

Season Five Highlights And Guests

Christina 2:49

But as I also look through the various things we've discussed, the various things about nervous system regulation, the various concepts of frequency of showing up as your best self, as well as the various conversations that have varied in topics. You know, we've talked about deconstructing religion with the amazing Crystal Dawn. I will say that her episode and Prune Harris's episode, those two rival for top place in this podcast's history. Phenomenal how they have spread around. Then I also spoke to Erin Brown this year, Dr. Erin Brown, who covered the Sherman Resonance. I still follow her on Instagram. I still comment on her things because honestly, her work with the Sherman Resonance really broke through this mystery of what the Sherman Resonance really is and how the frequency of the earth isn't just this woo-woo concept of energy, but it is a systematically measured scientific thing, and it affects all of us. Talk to Dr. Allison Kay, who shared amazing manifestation tools. There were so many brilliant conversations over this season.

2026 Intensity And Frequency Shifts

Christina 4:25

When I look back at January 2025 until now, the world has really intensified. We thought that 2025 was intense, but I think most of us will agree that 2026 has thrown a little bit more chaos into the works. There was a time where 2025 was really focused on stepping into this, stepping into your light. It was about really raising your frequency, really aligning to your life path. Life is still like that. We need to be focusing on our own life path. But I do believe that there are new frequencies coming in. And I do believe that there are the occasional shifts that might surprise us. It's funny, I was again, another interview that took place was the long interview that I had with my dear friend Lindsay Robertson. We did it around August sometime last year, just before the third eye atlas. Is that what it was called? Came in. Three eye atlas. There you go. And when it was coming in and there was all these talks of different frequencies, as I look back, I actually really believe that that cosmic event did shift something. And as it did shift something, our nervous systems felt it, reacted to it. And I actually believe that 2026 has begun. And this first six months of 2026 has been us getting used to the new shifts. I remember Lindsay and I talking about the fact that we had heard that the idea was that 3i Atlas was coming to help, that it was this sort of energetic reset that was resetting some of the Earth's energetic grids. I loved this idea. I still love this idea. The idea that we ask continually for cosmic guidance, for universal help, and that maybe in some form that maybe we don't fully understand yet, something came in and shifted things energetically. Now, sure, you might be like, Christina, have you seen the world lately? Where was hell that positive energy? And yet, I also look at the world that we live in, and the energy of that has changed. There's more polarization. We are dealing in, yes, there's a lot of dark, but there's also a lot of light. The power of the individual is shaking things up like never before. I'm watching as people's individual journeys amplify things differently. And that's really what I think season six is going to be leaning into even more. We're living in a really strange time. It's a really strange time, and I have a funny feeling we might see some stranger too. Because, you know, talking completely uh in the sense of cosmic activity leading on from three eye atlas, you know, there is a lot of talk building momentum around July 19th. Between July 19th and July 21st, supposedly, astrologers have been looking at those three dates for years. And they've been wondering what is actually going to happen within those dates. I have never heard of this, but the alignment of the planet has the planets that will be taking place around that time has never, hasn't been seen. I think it was 500 years, the last thing I read. There is a shift, and we're already sensing it. How am I sensing it? I've noticed my intuition is slightly sped up. The Sherman resonance will spike in some ways, and I'll find that I've actually already started resonating with the spikes or changes that are occurring. I notice that I'm sensing things a little deeper, predicting things a little bit clearer. I'm dreaming deeper. I will feel energy pouring through me differently. I notice that I'm a little bit more buzzed. What I mean is there's a little bit more of a sense of deeper energy flowing through me. At the same time, this year, personally, I have found a lot of my practices haven't been as consistent as they usually are. But when I do do them, they go deeper. And as you may know about me, I tend to not necessarily question the push to be consistent. I really do try to follow what my system needs, but I am starting to sense that for the later part of this year, consistency is going to be key.

Anxiety Surges And The Pull Of Familiar

Christina 10:00

Nervous systems are rattled, and when they're rattled, it does feel like the extremes can come. But it's not washing anymore. You know, I've worked with a few clients recently that when they'll talk about their surges of anxiety or their surges of stress, and then how they feel badly for those surges of stress or their surges of anxiety, they watch as they're coming in differently, and then they're being hard on themselves for what they're experiencing differently. I was just speaking with a woman actually, and we were talking about how her surge of anxiety was actually coming as a merging point between old self-habits and new self-habits. And her brain was trying to pull her in one direction to return to the familiar, while her new version of herself was trying to pull her into an expanded version, a softer version, maybe just more an in-flow version. And those things, when they merged, those two sides, led to a deep set of sense of anxiety. One part of her wanted to listen to the flow, the other part of her felt like safety was in what she knew she'd practiced for a long period of time. I was speaking in my membership the other day. I was talking about how the word familiar keeps coming up for me. And I'm finding it fascinating. I was listening to someone speak about how, of course, our nervous systems, our brains, love what's familiar. We know this. We know that neural pathways practice a repeat story. We know that our nervous systems like those repeat stories because it's practiced. It's what we know. It keeps us safe. I think reminding yourself to ask if something is familiar, if we're enjoying it just because it's habitual or if because we feel safe. If we keep returning to old things because that's familiar, it's safe. Everything from usual meals to binge watching your favorite show, they have shown that binge watching your favorite show, something you've watched over and over and over again, is actually regulating your nervous system. Familiar. But then you have the other extreme of familiar. And that is the challenge to make the new version of yourself, the version of yourself you've expanded to become, with all this new awareness and intuitive energy flowing through you, to actually create that to be familiar. Leaning into creating a familiarity around who you want to be, but also being truest to yourself as your grown version of yourself, not the habitual. That is really what I feel we are leaning into of this time. We're being asked to practice the people we want to be, not based on, oh, when I have a million dollars and making that feel familiar, or oh, when I'm living in my favorite space, making that familiar. Rather, our courageous selves, our truest selves, our individual selves. As individuals, we have to make our strongest version of ourselves feel familiar to us. And this is what I want to be really focusing on in season six. How to make our expanded selves feel second nature because this is what we have to be doing now. You know, systems are changing. Whether we like it or not, whether it feels unfamiliar or not, systems are changing. They aren't functioning the way they used to. They're crumbling. And we don't know what that means, and that's actually okay. But what we do know is the information that we have been tiptoeing around for years. The understanding that we are frequencies, that we are energetic beings, the understanding that where attention goes, energy flows, the understanding that our brains love that familiar stories and loves that familiar habits, and yet it's what keeps us stuck. Last episode we talked about disc work. Disc work is made by what you make familiar. So, what do we want to make familiar?

Practicing The Person You Want To Be

Christina 15:22

Because I have a funny feeling in this new reality that we are creating, this shift in what we could call the matrix, we could call the illusion, we could call human life, the shift that's happening in that is based on with based on all of the laws of the universe, those laws are responding faster.

When Reality Responds Really Fast

Christina 15:49

Let me ask you this. Have you noticed yourself thinking something and then watching it flood in? Maybe you haven't even given it a second thought, but you've thought about an ice cold drink and all of a sudden one's there, or you've thought about I can't remember, there was some version this couple of days ago that I went, oh, I really actually want to do that, and immediately was there. I was in London the other day, and I had this amazing intuitive experience of just telling the universe, take me where you want to go, let's have some fun. Expand me, delight me, show me what you've got. And I was led to this homeopathic pharmacy and had this most magical conversation with the woman there. And it was just delightful. And it responded so fast, and it continued on as I walked down the street and ended up at St. Martin's or the Fields. And when I was there, I walked in and there was a beautiful concert happening. It delighted me. I didn't need to hold on to a vision. I didn't need to try to push for what I wanted. It was a co-communication, a co-creation of delight. And this is what we need to be leaning into. We have to be leaning into a sense of trust and faith. And the work we need to do is releasing the energy of fear and tapping into the energy of love. Okay.

Quick Break And A Free Resource

Christina 17:33

Before we go on, let's just take a little tiny break. I'm going to grab a drink of water. And then when we come back, I want to lean into a little bit more about what I'm sensing about for the rest of the year and what we really need to be focused and working on and how we're going to do it. I also want to remind you to make sure that you are subscribing to this podcast, to this channel, making sure you're getting all the notifications. It'd be great if you could leave a review. It really would. Now I'm reminding you of that now because, you know, it's really important to keep tabs on things. And we have some amazing things happening in this coming season, and I'm going to tell you about them in one minute. Be right back. Do you feel like you're always trying to figure out the cause of something? Why are you anxious? Why does your stomach give you trouble? Why do you lack passion? Or why do you people please? It's frustrating when the questions of why overshadow life. Well, there are many reasons why things happen. Energetically, it comes down to alignment or unalignment. And while you can treat conditions and situations in all sorts of different ways, it helps to know where energetically you need to shift. It's like repairing a foundation to a house before anything else. This is why I created the missing map, a guide to understanding your energy system so it leads you back to wholeness. Inside, you'll learn about your chakras and your energetic worlds, how to know where you need to align, and how to realign when you need to. You can find the missing map for free at spirituallyaware living.com backslash the map or in the session notes below. Okay, so

The 2025 To 2030 Expansion Window

Christina 19:36

where are we? Where we are is the fact that we are in changing times. And while we've been saying that since 2020, it is actually changing times. A lot of people are talking about this powerful period of time between 2025 of last year through to, you know, kind of 2030. There's this period of time where we are expanding as a human force. Human beings are developing in new ways. We are energetically expanding and growing. Energies feel different, frequencies are feeling different. And we have to seize that. We have to trust that. And we have to do what we know we can. This isn't something to put off until life is easier, you have more time. This is a in the moment, step-by-step realignment that you can do, and we're all being asked to do.

Season Six Guests And Practical Tools

Christina 20:45

Like I said, I have some really exciting things happening in this new season. Um, I have an interview with a woman who actually uses my human design chart to actually explain human design more than just human design, but as like an energetic practice. And she really, really does take it deeper than I've ever heard human design before. So this is why I'm saying you're gonna want to subscribe. Then I'm also talking to a woman who considers herself, she calls herself a frequency. Now I'm gonna forget the word she uses. It's not a matrix, no. Anyway, she is a frequency specialist no matter what. She is, but also trained in neuroscience. And she discusses frequencies like I've never talked about frequencies. She goes deep into the practicals of energetics and how to help use those for your life and to make the world a better place. We go really deep, really fast. I have another few um interviews already lined up, and I'm really going to be leaning into also. Searching out some people who are doing the deep energetic work, who understand how to step up in challenging times and align energy in challenging times. That challenging times can be anything. It's just understanding how when we're distracted, when we feel disempowered, when we feel swirling, scattered energy, how to call your energy back. So I'm going to be lining up some powerful things. Personally, for myself, for those solo episodes, I believe we're going to be looking more into coaching work. I really feel called to help. Basically, you'll be listening to the concepts of what I discuss in sessions with my clients. We're going to be using some tools. We're going to be using some practices. I want to make this as easy as possible. My plan for my work as I move forward and as I too expand and grow and change is to make sure that you always feel safe as well as steady to expand.

Chakras Root And Crown Together

Christina 23:21

Nervous system regulation is one small step. I was just talking about it again with the membership program, the whole woman's circle. And we were discussing how nervous system regulation, we're currently working on a journey of the chakras. So we were talking about the root chakra as your base, as your anchor, which is your regulated nervous system. You work your root chakra, that's wonderful. You'll feel steady and stable. But what we know is about the familiar, the familiar, thou those stories that your nervous system has gotten so used to, the ones that your brain has carved out for a very long period of time, those things can keep you stuck. Your root chakra needs to be clear, but that also means that it is feeling steady as it moves forward. The roots of a tree don't mean that tree can move. And it's really important that you are given the tools to make sure that you can ride the wave. So yeah, we did the solstice workshop the week before. We had the solar plexus work as we started to dive into who you've become. And but I did also give the members a other video. And that video is focused on their crown. Because this is the trick. This is where we need to be putting our energy and our attention. Because yes, we need to make sure we feel safe and steady, but at the same time, we need to feel anchored and grounded in source energy. Source energy, God, source, the universe, light, light, light, light. In challenging times, how hard, how easy is it to just fall into the pattern, the safety of focusing on what's wrong? How tempting is it to just focus on, I need to feel safe, I need to feel safe, I need to feel safe, I need to ground, I need to ground. But there is a force field of angels waiting to support you and flood through you. There is a light itself that is ready to realign you to everything. And when you combined your crown chakra and your root chakra, then suddenly wholeness takes on a totally different meaning because you're not just plugged into the earth and feeling anchored in it, but you are connected to the stars and the universe. You are connected to the lightest of light, the holiest of holies. And that energy is flowing straight to you. It's permeating through you. And as it does, your soul light is broadcasting everywhere. So I feel like this is a really powerful time because I do feel like we suddenly we're faced with the choice we've always been faced, but the hows and what it feels like is getting clearer and clearer. The broad strokes between connected and disconnected are a little bit more intense. We can sense things a little bit tighter, where we know that there is a deep flow of light versus a constriction of dark. And we have to keep finessing that difference.

Light Versus Constriction In Daily Life

Christina 27:15

Over the weekend, I was in London. I went to go see Jesus Christ Superstar. Jesus Crazy Superstar, ha, amazing. This was my favorite show growing up. It was one of the few things I was allowed to listen to because my mother loved it deeply. And that and Annie, man, that's all I sang all the time. And I knew every lyric of this show. Watched the movie all the time. And the interesting thing is, is as I was watching it

London Story And A Reminder Of Light

Christina 27:47

on the stage, I was reliving my child self. And I was going, what was it that really enthralled me as like a six-year-old about this show? And I will say, I do believe that what enthralled me at six was what was kind of missing currently on the West End. And that was light. You have a story, a musical all about Jesus. You think certain things that that's going to lead to. But in fact, actually, it really just covers the last week, which is really, really sad and depressing. Does a brilliant job, focuses on um basically the concept that the plan went awry. It's very political. Very, very, very political, and actually political in a way that you kind of actually think this should be told right now because the politics are scarily accurate. But this is supposed to be about someone who is deeply connected to source. They sing about God all the time, and then you start wondering, but where is that? In the movie, you have broad landscapes, beautiful sunsets, you see the world light up. They are able to film rays of light just when it's needed. You're able to see the expressions on their face of connection versus anguish and disconnection. There is a sense of holiness, often. Sure, hard to portray on stage. But in a time where tension is so prominent, the light is what we're needing to be reminded of. It is the vast sunsets, it is the moment of awe, it is the exalted feeling of unity consciousness, of understanding that we are part of so much more, that we are so much more, and that the human foibles that exist on this planet are simply semantics and quite frankly manifestations of human thought and scatteredness. So

Claiming Light Through Simple Intentions

Christina 30:49

we need to claim our light. We need to create light. We need to be resonating so deeply with love and wholeness that it can't be missed. And we need to individually do that for ourselves. Sounds like a big task, but the wonderful thing about this type of work is just gearing our needle to that direction means you're doing it. As soon as you wake up every morning and start saying, I intend light, then light will find you. As soon as you start every morning saying, I appreciate being alive, then that appreciation will radiate through you. Yeah, we all have bad days. And the energies of right now, they're so intense, there's so much going on. Oh my goodness. It will sometimes feel rather bombarding. But you know, you know to focus on your feet, you know to ground, you know to breathe. And then we also know to ask for support and help from all the light beings in the world and beyond. If 3i Atlas was this mission of support and help, that's just the one we noticed. And even then, a lot of people just kind of poo-pooed the idea. But what if it is? And what if it's actually one of many? What if light is working for us all the time? What if we're truly, truly blessed? And what if we actually start to act like we are just blessed? And we close the gap between what is and what can be, and just accept that we are part of a whole. We are connected deeply. And in that, in that deep connection, we will radiate and we will change and we will grow and expand and we'll connect. It's a bit of a tall order, I know, especially when things are going on, but I also know that we're up to the task. I know that we can find the realignment to deep love, be it in the form of compassion, forgiveness, or just going with the flow. Just letting things go and not letting ourselves become attached to the end results, to the constriction, to the way we think we need to have them, basically to the control. What happens when you focus on feeling ease within your heart? And then you really lean into your heart and what it's actually asking of you. If this sounds like a tall order, and even as I say it, I'm like, whew, I really hope this doesn't come up as a tall order, but I'm sure it does. There's look, there's

Subscribe Substack And Summer Membership

Christina 34:07

a couple of things. First of all, season six, we're all gonna be focusing more on practical tools. So make sure you subscribe so that then you get the first episode dropped to you and you know when it's actually taking place. Because I'm still a little vague. I would like to maybe do something for June the 9th, July the 19th of this cosmic event, but I can't promise that that's actually gonna happen. So it's an idea. Ultimately, what I can probably suspect is you'll find something over on my Substack. So if you're not on Substack yet, make sure you get over there because I'm thinking that that's probably where you'll have the July 19th thing. And then you'll probably see the podcast come back mid-August, late August, but subscribe so you know. Okay, then a couple of other things. First off, my membership is going through this chakra journey, and the way we're doing it is slightly different than any other journey of chakras that you've seen before. We've already done a crown video, so how to align to your source. I've done that separately because I want that to be your personal journey. We've done the solar plexus workshop because that was for the solstice. All of these are available in the membership portal. We've started grounding with the root. We've working root and solar plexus together last week. So it meant that it was seeing how they work together as your physical energetic world. Those two, that chakra, the chakra of the root and the one of the solar plexus, those are your physical energetic worlds. That is who you are in this lifetime. And it's important to get those straight. But then we'll be working on your mental energetic world with your sacral and your third eye, and we'll be working on your emotional energetic world with your heart chakra and your throat. We are mixing them up, but they're all going to tie together. We're going through practicals, we're going through deep dives into what it looks like to be imbalanced and how you can realign them. And then after that, you have meditation on that specific chakra and also energy work, making sure that chakra is fully clear for you. So that's what's happening in the membership all summer long. And you're welcome to join us. It's currently 47 a month. But if you use the code that's in the show notes, you can get on for 27 a month. Big difference. Big, big difference. That's going back to a founder's price from a long time ago. It's the whole women's circle, and it's going to be a place of deep support as we go through these massive changes. Um we, the membership has been on for a very long time. Various stages, various names. Whole women's circle is a new name. Years ago, it was the breathing space, and the breathing space was what it was through COVID. Through COVID, this was a deep, connected, cherished space for many. It still is. Many of the members are still the same who have been there all this time. There's connection and support. There's a WhatsApp group that doesn't get too overcrowded. It's just balanced. And it's becoming a more special place over time. So check that out over in the show notes. Meanwhile, I'm helping my clients through this as well. So if you want one-on-one support, drop me an email. In all of this, I want you to know that it's all okay. I don't want you to go in thinking, oh my God, it's gonna be a really big July. I can't take anymore.

Grounding Hydration And Closing Blessing

Christina 38:02

Drama is friction, and friction is triggering. So don't fall for the drama. It's an addiction to friction that none of us need right now. Instead, go with ease. Trust that your team, your angelic spiritual team, is by your side. Trust that there are support networks absolutely everywhere, from podcasts like this one to circles to your next door neighbor and your friend groups. Listen to your heart and look at where you feel safe. If you need to talk to someone, make sure that it's someone that you feel safe with. Keep grounding, keep drinking loads of water. The energy will move through all of us. But we are exactly where we came to be. And as exactly where we came to be, we are also who we came to be. And as we are also who we came to be, we have chosen to come at this momentous time. And it's gonna be a ride. Our souls are 100% ready. Our nervous systems just need a little bit of coaxing. So we do both. We ride and we secure. Because before any journey, we make sure that we have a safety belt on. So breathe deep. Trust. Love the little things. Appreciate where you can. Make sure you're grounding. Keep hydrated. And in all of this, remember that as long as you're aware of who you are and listening to within yourself, it's never too far to just be showing up whole. Sending all my love, and I'll talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Bye now.
