Returning to Center When the World Feels Unsteady

Presence, Coherence & Choice in a Dysregulated World

 If you’ve been feeling anxious, emotionally raw, ungrounded, or quietly overwhelmed by the state of the world — this episode is for you.

In this steady, grounding episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin explores why so many people feel dysregulated right now, why effort-based coping strategies often fail, and how to return to center without bypassing reality or losing yourself inside it.

This is not an episode about fixing yourself or staying positive.
 It’s about understanding what’s actually happening beneath the surface — and learning how to meet uncertainty with presence, coherence, and choice.

You’ll explore:
 ✨ Why we are living in a dysregulated collective field
 ✨ How anxiety and anger function as signals, not defects
✨ Why most coping strategies don’t work long-term
✨ The difference between force and regulation
✨ How presence restores access to choice
✨ Why alignment must come before intention
✨ The eight characteristics of the soul that help you re-center
✨ How returning to center becomes a way of life

This episode is an invitation into a longer journey of becoming an Aligned Human — not by escaping the world, but by meeting it with steadiness and truth.

Mantra:

“Even now — especially now — I can choose to return.”

Reflection Question:

Where am I reacting from dysregulation — and what would it feel like to return to center instead?
