The Aligned Human Project
The Aligned Human Movement with Dawn Elgin - Contrarian Soul Guide, Spiritual CEO, and founder of Practical Spiritualism, explores what it means to live in harmony between field and form, science and spirit, feminine and masculine.
Each week, Dawn and her guests unpack the quantum mechanics of alignment, the psychology of peace, and the practical tools of co-creation drawn from Field + Form: The 12 Laws of Co-Creation. This isn’t self-help, it’s soul alignment. If you’ve ever felt like success costs too much, if your mind won’t stop, or your soul knows there’s more, this is your home.
Join The Aligned Human Movement and let’s remember: Busy isn’t a badge, it’s a cage.
It’s time to harmonize your humanity.

EP. 20: Fear, Safety & Sabotage – What I’ve Learned from My Own Triggers
Ever feel like you’re on the edge of everything you’ve been calling in… and suddenly you’re cleaning the kitchen, color-coding your inbox, or ghosting your own magic?
That’s not laziness. That’s not resistance. That’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the veil on self-sabotage—why it shows up right before our expansion, how it masks as “self-care,” and what it really needs: safety, presence, and the soul taking the lead.
You’ll learn:
- Why sabotage is a protection pattern (not proof you're not ready)
- How fear of visibility hides in the body—and how I confronted mine
- The chakra wounds most tied to sabotage (root, solar plexus, throat)
- A powerful somatic practice to reclaim your momentum without bypassing
Takeaways
It's not resistance; it's your nervous system whispering.
Self-sabotage is how we cope when safety and visibility have never coexisted.
Sabotage is not self-hatred; it's self-protection.
The ego's job is survival, leading to self-sabotage.
Safety in your body creates freedom in your voice.
Curiosity is a characteristic of our soul.
You are not your sabotage; you are the witness of it.
Transforming sabotage into sovereignty requires self-love.
Embodying your true self involves taking aligned action.
You were made for this; trust yourself.
This is not about mindset hacks.
This is about nervous system sovereignty.
