Creativity and self-realization in times of constant sensory overload
Life energy – often described as Shaktiin ancient systems– is not an abstract idea, but a real foundation of human development. It manifests as motivation, learning ability, creativity, sexual energy, and emotional stability. In our time, however, this energy is under constant pressure: Never before has humankind been exposed to so many stimuli as today.
The crucial question is therefore not how muchenergy a person possesses, but how well they can regulate it.
A society of stimuli and the need for self-control
Constant digital stimuli– including endless feeds, permanent accessibility, and especially a constant sexual overload from digital content – lead neurobiologically to chronic dopamine overstimulation. The nervous system remains in search and reward mode.
The consequences are widespread:
- declining concentration ability
- lower willingness to learn
- Inner restlessness
- Distraction instead of depth
People with naturally high levels of vitality and sexual energyare particularly prone to imbalance. For them, self-control is not a moral ideal, but a prerequisite for personal growth. Only when energy is not constantly discharged or dissipated does the inner pressure arise to create something: to think, to learn, to design.
Plants as companions of regulation
In many traditional cultures, plants were not used to suppress emotions, but to learn self-regulation. They serve as catalysts for perception, focus, and inner order.
Many people report the following, using kratomas an example :
- increased clarity
- Growing creativity
- improved self-control
- Reduced impulsivity
Especially in people with high inner energy, sexual energy can shift as a result: away from impulsive release, towards mental work, learning, and creative expression. Crucially, this needs to be understood: the plant doesn't replace development – it opens a spacein which self-regulation becomes possible.
The female aspect: cycle, blockage, and pain
In women, the problem manifests itself differently. The female body is naturally cyclical– hormonally, emotionally, and energetically. This rhythm is closely linked to creativity, learning ability, and inner balance.
Hormonal contraceptives:
- Interrupt or smooth these cycles
- dampen energetic peaks
- Reduce the natural feedback loop between body and mind
They are also frequently recommended for lower abdominal pain. What is often overlooked is that many of these pains also have a psychosomatic component. This doesn't mean "imagined," but rather that unintegrated inner tension seeks physical expression.
If:
- creative or emotional energy finds no expression
- inner tension is not translated into design
- Cyclical phases of withdrawal and integration are ignored
This overload can manifest as pain. The body then takes on the task of indicating a blockage. In such cases, the symptom is regularly regulated, while the underlying cause persists.
(This does not replace a medical examination, but describes an important connection that is relevant in many cases.)
Cyclical life as an organizing principle – for women and men
Humans are not linear beings. Nature follows rhythms: day and night, seasons, lunar cycles. The human organism is also adapted to these rhythms.
Womencarry this biological rhythm within them.
Menalso possess it, but less obviously and therefore more easily lost.
Without conscious guidance, many men fall into a state of constant activity or avoidance of stimuli. They, too, benefit from living cyclically: phases of activity, phases of withdrawal, phases of integration.
The lunar cycle provides a natural frame of reference – not mystical, but rhythmic-biological.
When energy is integrated
Where life and sexual energy:
- not suppressed
- not scattered
- but is regulated cyclically
show consistent results:
- higher learning ability
- increased creativity
- emotional stability
- inner discipline without coercion
Many people describe this state as a turning point: energy is no longer experienced as a burden, but as a raw material for development.
Highly sensitive people (HSP) – when a lot of energy meets a noisy world
Many people who recognize themselves in the described situations belong to a special group: highly sensitive people (HSPs). High sensitivity is not a weakness, an illness, or an excess, but a neurobiological predisposition. Their nervous system processes stimuli more deeply, subtly, and comprehensively than in others.
Highly sensitive people perceive more – both externally and internally. They register moods, tensions, unspoken emotions, subtle bodily signals, and inner impulses very precisely. As a result, they often possess a great deal of vitality, creative energy, and also sexual energy.
In a world of constant sensory overload, this very ability quickly becomes a burden. Endless digital feeds, constant availability, emotional intensity, and especially sexual overstimulation are not stimulating for highly sensitive people, but rather overwhelming. What seems "normal" to others quickly leads to inner overload for HSPs.
Many highly sensitive people then experience:
- Exhaustion despite withdrawal
- inner restlessness or switching off
- Concentration problems despite high intelligence
- physical symptoms without a clear medical cause
The crucial point is: the problem is not sensitivity, but a lack of regulation.
Highly sensitive people often possess a great deal of energy naturally. If this energy is constantly scattered or blocked, it creates inner pressure. However, if it is consciously regulated and integrated, it transforms into focus, learning ability, creativity, and emotional depth.
Rhythm and cyclesare particularly important for highly sensitive people (HSPs). A cyclical life—phases of activity, withdrawal, expression, and integration—stabilizes the nervous system. Women carry this biological rhythm within them; men can consciously relearn it. The lunar cycle can serve as a natural framework for orientation.
Plants canalsosupport highly sensitive people, aiding in self-awareness and self-regulation. When used correctly, they help filter stimuli and find inner peace. When used incorrectly, they can exacerbate overwhelm. Awareness, dosage, and intended purpose are crucial.
This is especially true for highly sensitive people:
There's nothing wrong with you.
You need different conditions.
When sensitivity is not working against you, but is guided, it becomes one of the greatest resources for learning, creativity, and human depth.
Conclusion
- Sensory overload makes self-control a key skill of our time.
- Sexual energy is the basis of creativity and intellect.
- Plants can support regulation, not replace it.
- A cyclical lifestyle protects against overload and inner pressure.
- In women, blockages often manifest physically, in men in behavior.
In short:
Where energy finds no expression, it becomes pain or distraction.
Where it is guided, it becomes clarity, learning, and creation.
