Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to feel "heavy" even when my life is going well?
Yes. Heaviness exists without crisis. Your Threat system doesn't need a "fire" to feel "smoke." Heaviness is often just high Meaning Density that hasn't been integrated yet. By separating "weight" from "emergency thinking," you stop yourself from creating a crisis just to explain why you feel heavy. You allow yourself to be "stably heavy" while the system processes the load.
How do I stop the "emergency thinking"?
You name the weight as "Information Pressure." Tell your Status system: "The weight is real, but the danger is not." In the Meaning Density Model™, we treat heaviness as a "full hard drive." You don't need to panic; you just need to stop "saving new files" for a while until the system can move the data into long-term storage.
