Surfacing

Part of the Energy Level Wheel

What is Surfacing?

After being submerged in depletion, rest, or difficulty, you are beginning to rise back toward the light. There is a tentative but unmistakable return of energy and interest. This surfacing is fragile and deserves to be treated with care.

When you might feel surfacing

Surfacing is a specific form of emerging, which itself is a type of recovering. You might experience this feeling in situations where recovering is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define surfacing.
