When your mind is all a-jumble and things are sorting themselves out at a level that really is out of your conscious control. you need to retreat, not only from your normal thinking process - because this really is out of your hands - but also from the world at large. You need to create some quiet place where you can just be, at least for a while.

The shifts in your consciousness that are occurring at this time will happen, regardless, but it will be easier on you, will feel better, if you can obtain a few hours at least of retreat from the world. The body, where all this processing is going on, does its job with greater ease when the mind is not chiming in with commentary, questions, and/or helpful advice.

Take what you need for yourself now so that you can be of greater help to others later.
