Why You Feel Heavy: The Danger of Living Someone Else's Life - Alan Watts

Why You Feel Heavy: The Danger of Living Someone Else's Life - Alan Watts

There comes a morning when you wake not into the world, but into a heavy weight that seems to come from life itself. You may wonder, "What is wrong with me?" or blame yourself for being lazy. But in this video, we explore a radical possibility: What if your inability to rise is not a failure, but a message from your soul?





Alan Watts explains that when we force ourselves to live a life that contradicts our inner nature, the soul eventually withdraws its energy. This "heaviness" is actually a form of protection—a rebellion designed to stop you from walking further in the wrong direction.




We will discuss the concept of "Inner Winter"—a necessary season of stillness where you are not falling apart, but being restored. Learn why you must stop pushing, how to shed the "old skin" of your past identity, and how to allow your true energy to return naturally through alignment rather than force.




In this video, you will discover:

Why "heaviness" is the soul's way of saying "Stop, you are not listening".

The difference between physical fatigue and spiritual misalignment.


Why nature follows a rhythm of "rest and return" and why you are no exception.



The Inner Winter: Why you cannot bloom without a season of dormancy.


How to let go of the "barnacles" (expectations and roles) that weigh you down.


The beautiful moment when energy returns effortlessly.
