When life spirals into chaos, it often carries hidden wisdom. In this article, Janell Rae reflects on how unexpected challenges, from personal setbacks to physical pain, can serve as invitations to ground deeper, listen to the body’s intelligence, and uncover guidance that leads to healing, growth, and alignment.
The event that shifted everything
Last week, my horse fell ill, strange neurological reactions with no explanation. For twelve hours, I stood beside him, unable to reach a vet.
At the same time, my toe turned purple after being stomped. Chaos surrounded me, with no clear answers. And I thought, What is this? This energy is wild. It was.
Grounding through the lower centers
For months, I had been working through my root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, a deeper grounding, a deeper clearing.
But I didn’t understand what that meant until I faced this moment. No solutions. No control. Just the invitation to be present.
This was a clearing, a release of old patterns, not just for me but for the collective. Healing the self and healing the collective are always intertwined.
If you’re in a season where life feels chaotic, it may be your initiation into deeper guidance. Schedule a connection call with me to learn how to read these signals instead of resisting them.
The gut’s hidden intelligence
Here’s the truth: the gut is wired to talk to the brain.
The gut’s “second brain” holds 500 million neurons.
The vagus nerve creates a two-way dialogue with the mind.
Microbes produce serotonin and dopamine, directly shaping mood and intuition.
Neuropod cells deliver signals from the gut to the brain in milliseconds.
We’ve been taught to listen to the mind and heart, but real guidance also flows through the gut, through presence in the body.
The messages in the moment
The purple toe carried its own message, balance mind with intuition, speak truth.
The horse’s illness arrived as an initiation, a push into a higher alignment with who I am as a healer and coach.
It was not about “fixing” the chaos, but about letting it reveal what was ready to shift.
Poetic closure: Embracing the sacred in chaos
Chaos is never random. It is coded guidance.
When we ground through the gut and stay present, not chasing the past or projecting the future, we open a clearer channel of truth.
In that space, even the hardest moments become sacred teachers.
If you’re curious about what your own “chaotic” moments might be asking of you, book a connection call here. Together, we can uncover the guidance already speaking through your life.
