Re: when you are overwhelmed, HELP
First, if you meet a guru on the road, kill him....sorry, an "in" joke you will encounter some day.
This overwhelm is very common in the early phases of spiritual development. Think back about going to ordinary school. If in first grade you were handed a list all the subjects you would be studying in school, it would be similar.
I suggest that you try to narrow your investigation to 2 or 3 things at a time. Good places to start (pick 2 or 3 that appeal) are meditation, dream journaling, energy (hand-on) healing, NEW, toning. As you lose interest in one, try another until some 'stick'.
As you probably know but haven't come to awareness is that so much of this stuff is related. So, learning a few will make others much easier. Thus even though you might feel that you are missing out on the others, its probably not the case.
Something else that helps is to find another beginner to share the journey with. Having them to share the experience with will cut down on the jumping around. Personally speaking, I feel this is better than seeking a guru at the beginning (or other teacher, master, source, guide). Many people get good results with teachers etc. but only after they know enough to know what they wish to pursue in depth. Getting lead from the beginning feels less daunting. But often this results in not getting a chance to 'look around' and find where your interests lie; a quick start but less successful in the long run.
With continued effort, you will start to get a sense of this stuff and find a direction of your own.
