Highly Sensitive Person
Once upon a time I was told a blaring lie. That my sensitivity was weakness. That it was something I should shield and that I should harden. Of course my tender little self didn't understand the capacity to harden, overtime though she shut down and closed off her heart for safety. The big big emotions and sensations I would feel became a vast shell of defenses to keep me safe and protected. Especially amongst a childhood rife with abuse and pain, I learned quite early on that inhabiting my body fully, and feeling fully was too much. All that existed within me felt too much to bear. Being the big hearted and deeply feeling girl I was, there was only so much numbing on my own that I could do. And so I turned to substances, relationships, sex, anything I could turn to to take me away from myself and my reality. As the layers of frozen petals have thawed and I've made my way into bloom, I now feel the immensity of all that life ushers into my world.
I feel my pain, I feel your pain, I feel the pain of the world. And yet....I am also able to feel the greatest vastness of love and joy. Truly opening my being to loving unconditionally, both what I find within, in the reflections of the beautiful mirrors who grace my path, and this often broken and lost world we seem to inhabit. My sensitivity now is my greatest gift. It provides me the capacity to feel into another’s field, to assist in clearing ancient repressed wounds, to step into the darkest traumas that lay dormant within the womb and to guide my clients in their own retrieval, excavations, and clearings.
I entered into this world a highly sensitive being because the path that I am meant to walk requires me to feel deeply. It is my gift, it is my strength. I am armed by love and the ability to feel. The sensitives of this world are the spiritual warriors meant to carve out a different path of healing, remembering, relating and loving. We need our sensitive souls. I am You, and You are I. We are the sensitive souls, angels on this earth. Come to remember how to feel fully and love deeply. Healing the fabric of this world from the inside out.
