🌌 Day 38 of 40 – Leaky Balance & Coordination System (Vestibular System)
💧 Where Peace Leaks: Dizziness, balance issues, unsteady gait, feeling “off-centre” in life
🕊️ “Find your footing, stand in your peace.” ~ Dee
Your balance and coordination system isn’t just about staying upright — it’s about feeling centred in your life.
The vestibular system in your inner ear helps you know where you are in space. But mold illness, trauma, and chronic stress can throw that system off.
🦠 Mould & Trauma Links:
• Mold toxins can inflame the inner ear and nerves
• Histamine and cytokine reactions cause dizziness and vertigo
• Trauma dysregulates the nervous system, leaving you feeling “off-balance” emotionally and physically
🤍 Did you know?
Feeling unsteady on your feet often mirrors feeling unsteady in your heart or mind.
When your world has been chaotic or unsafe, your body forgets how to find centre.
For firstborns who had to stay “on guard,” balance was never about play — it was about survival.
Bracing for impact. Watching every move.
But here’s the truth:
When you heal inflammation, detox mold, and regulate your nervous system —
You begin to trust the ground beneath you.
You learn to sway without falling.
You remember you belong here.
🧠 Somatic Signs of Leaky Balance
• Dizziness or vertigo
• Unsteady gait or stumbling
• Trouble coordinating movements
• Motion sickness or nausea
• Feeling “spaced out” or disoriented
• Anxiety in open spaces or crowds
💔 What Your Body Might Be Saying
• “I don’t feel safe to move freely.”
• “I’m afraid I’ll fall — literally or figuratively.”
• “My world feels unpredictable.”
• “I’m struggling to find centre.”
• “I need help grounding.”
🌿 Healing Balance from Within
🫀 Your vestibular system needs gentle training and calm surroundings.
Balance is a conversation between body, mind, and spirit.
Try these:
🌿 Grounding exercises — stand barefoot on earth, feel the support below
🌀 Slow mindful walking — heel-to-toe steps with deep breaths
💧 Hydrate well — inner ear balance relies on fluid regulation
🪷 Gentle head turns — retrain the vestibular system in safe, slow ways
🍃 Herbal helpers — ginger tea for nausea and vertigo
🔁 Reclaim Your Balance with These Prompts
🧘♀️ De-Stress Tip: Practice tree pose — even against a wall — to connect with stability
🍃 De-Tox Tip: Reduce mold exposures in bedding, clothing, walls — your safe space matters
🌀 De-Freeze Tip: Rock gently side to side in a chair or on your feet — tell your body movement is safe
🌙 Sleep Tip: Elevate your head slightly to reduce vertigo at night
📦 Declutter Tip: Let go of “all-or-nothing” thinking — embrace wobble and grace
💨 De-Bloat Tip: Sip fennel or ginger tea to soothe nausea and support calm digestion
🌌 Balance = Safety = Inner Peace
Have you noticed how trauma makes you brace, freeze, or stumble?
Your body remembers every time the ground felt unsafe.
But you can tell a new story.
A story of trust.
A story of movement.
A story of graceful balance.
With each step, each breath, you reclaim your footing in the world.
With steady love,
Momma Lovey Dee 🥰
