The Fearful Gut
🟡 Fractal Persona of the Navel Chakra
Theme: Anxiety, Distrust & Gut Instability
🌿 A Day in the Life of The Fearful Gut
Fearful Gut Oracle Card
I wake with a knot in my stomach before I even open my eyes. The day has not yet begun, but my belly is already tight, bracing for something to go wrong.
As I move through the morning, I second-guess every choice. My gut should be a compass, but instead it churns with anxiety. Should I go this way? That way? What if I’m wrong? Even when others reassure me, my body does not relax.
By midday, my energy feels scattered. My belly flips at the smallest shift in tone, the slightest change in plans. I hold back my truth because I don’t trust what I feel. Instead of leaning on instinct, I cling to what others say, ignoring the whispers of my own center.
At night, I lie in bed replaying every word, every decision, my gut restless and uneasy. Sleep comes only when exhaustion wins, not peace. Deep down, I long to trust myself again—to breathe freely and know that my belly can guide me, not betray me.
