Hey @Maitreya , I had a small overload misadventure a couple days ago. I tried using more fields than I normally do and at night I felt restless, my body was twitching a bit, rapid heartbeat.
I reduced the number of DMs immediately. I did leave the ones I kept on, but stopped doing audios (audios have a much stronger effect on me), except grounding and nervous system balance.
I feel ok now, just a little tired. I am wondering if I should be more conservative (shut all DMs off for a while and just ground for a week or two), or reintroduce the audios little by little. What is the best course of action or signs I should look for? Will the DM in this thread help when it’s a little mishap like this or should I simply rest?

What you experienced is a normal overload response: too much input at once, and the nervous system reacts first. You did the right thing by reducing everything immediately.
Since you already feel mostly fine now, there’s no need to shut everything off completely unless the symptoms return. Just stay on a light setup for a few days — grounding and nervous-system support are enough.
When your energy feels stable again (no restlessness, no tension, no racing heart, normal sleep), you can slowly reintroduce audios one at a time. Give each one a full day or two before adding the next.
The DM in this thread can help with small overloads, but in your case simple rest plus grounding is usually sufficient. The main sign to watch for is how your nervous system feels: if you stay calm and centered, you’re good to continue gently. If any symptoms come back, pause again and return to grounding only.

Thank you! I had a hunch it wasn’t anything too horrible but I wanted to be sure I was handling it correctly.
