The Looping Problem:
Why So Many "Awake" People Have No Resourcing 

There is a particular kind of looping happening right now, and it's not confined to beginners. We're watching senior practitioners – people with years, sometimes decades, of spiritual practice behind them – go into total meltdown over what are, in the scheme of things, first-world problems. More than crisis-level events, it's ordinary friction, and the meltdown is often karmic in nature, such as an old pattern surfacing, a relational rupture or a mirror they weren't ready for. What's missing isn't insight but resourcing, both in terms of ‘trauma tools’ but also in terms of understanding key natural and cosmic law concepts such as karma, decolonisation and natural law style collaboration. 

This matters more than it might seem, because a lot of people who consider themselves "awake" or "conscious" have spent significant money and energy building a spiritual identity without building the underlying capacity to actually hold it. And with what may be unfolding in the world in the coming period, that gap is going to show. Insight without resourcing doesn't hold under pressure, it cracks.

What Resourcing Actually Means

Resourcing isn't just a vague comfort word, it's a specific capacity: the nervous system's ability to stay regulated and present while something difficult, expansive, or karmically loaded is moving through you. Without it, even a small trigger can tip a person into collapse, rage, or dissociation, because there's no internal ballast to meet the charge.

This is why so many senior practitioners melt down over things that, from the outside, look minor. They've often built an impressive amount of spiritual knowledge and identity on top of a nervous system that was never actually resourced. The structure looks tall but the foundation was never poured.

Real resourcing has to be built deliberately, and there are specific tools for doing it well.

The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) works directly with the nervous system, using resourcing states – often connected to the earth, ancestors, or spiritual support – to help a person stay present while processing trauma, rather than being retraumatised by it. It's one of the most effective frameworks we know for building the kind of internal ballast that karmic material requires.

Pranayama works at the level of prana itself – the breath as a direct lever on the nervous system and subtle body. Where CRM builds ballast through connection and presence, pranayama builds it through the regulation of life-force, giving a person more raw capacity to hold intensity without depletion.

Astrology, practised properly, is less about prediction and more about learning to dance with karma rather than be flattened by it. Understanding your own cycles, timing, and patterns turns karma from something that happens to you into something you can meet with more skill and less panic.

Quantum Transfiguration works at a different layer again, helping a person move through multidimensional overwhelm, the kind of disorientation that comes when consciousness is expanding faster than the nervous system and energy body can integrate it. This is increasingly relevant as more people have expanded or unusual experiences without a framework to hold them.

None of these tools replace the others. Together, they build resourcing at the level of the nervous system, the breath, the karmic pattern, and the multidimensional field, which is precisely where the current looping is happening. 

These four themes – karma, decolonisation, collaboration and human permaculture, and resourcing – are exactly what we'll be exploring in the book club sessions this autumn, alongside Padma Khandro's book. Our sense is that the coming period will ask more of people's capacity to stay resourced than it will ask for more spiritual knowledge, and we'd rather see people build that capacity now than discover the gap under pressure.

If you recognise yourself in any of this: the looping, the meltdown that seems disproportionate to the trigger, the sense of having done a lot of spiritual work without quite landing anywhere solid; this is exactly the territory the mentoring, readings, and Quantum Transfiguration work are built to address.

Autumn Book Club Series

These four sessions will explore the themes above alongside relevant chapters from Dakini Weaving – Keys to the Golden Age. Each session will give you an opportunity to engage with the material before coming together for deeper inquiry.

You’ll be invited to:
– Read the relevant chapter of Dakini Weaving Reflect on the questions and themes before the session
– Ask Me Anything session and commentary on sections of the book where relevant
– Explore the material through guided discussion
– Take part in small breakaway rooms for co-inquiry
– Reflect on how these themes may be operating in your own life, practice and relationships

The aim of these sessions it to more than just understanding the concepts is to create a space where you can examine the places you may still be looping and begin to understand what might allow you to move through them.

More details on the autumn book club sessions to follow soon with a more detailed breakdown on what Padma will present on briefly in the session and some thought-provoking questions for you to contemplate while you study the relevant chapter for your session. 

If you’re reading this and our real time sessions have past or you can’t make it live then you are welcome to purchase the recording of the session. We remind you that the deeper transmissions and opportunity to get your direct questions answered is prioritised to those attending the real-time call.

This is for you if...

– You have been on a spiritual or personal-development path for some time
– You have accumulated significant knowledge but still find yourself repeating certain patterns
– You experience disproportionate reactions to relational or interpersonal friction
– You want to develop greater capacity rather than simply acquire more information
– You are interested in karma beyond its popularised interpretations
– You want to engage more honestly with decolonisation and spiritual practice
– You work within groups, communities or collaborative spiritual spaces
– You are interested in collective energetics and human permaculture
– You have experienced spiritual or multidimensional expansion without always having the resources to integrate it
– You want to explore what it actually means to become more resourced
