So people who know me well, know that I am not big on talking about my empath side, or my sensitive self.
The reason for this is, that what we focus on grows, and I definitely do not want to be any more sensitive or highly tuned in than I already am. To be honest, it’s hard enough to manage as it is.
However, I know there is a need for me to write about it for the purposes of others and to keep something in the archives of the Wisdom Library.
One of the deepest or core areas of sensitivity is to nature and the earth.
I experience this as an incredibly deep connection and friendship with nature, forests, woodland, mountains, rivers, lakes, and the seaI sense the “heartbeat” of mountains and land. And my relationship with trees is so powerful that if I see a tree being cut down it is like I too am being cut down. It will leave me weak, and grief stricken. If I am unfortunate enough to be around large areas of trees being destroyed, it is devastating to me. It will leave me sobbing and absolutely wracked with grief.
I understand that if you do not have this level of awareness of nature then it will probably just seem like an exaggeration.
This can make it hard for us deep feeling types because often we feel very alone because there is often no-one who understands the intensity or depth of feeling that we are experiencing.
We often end up hiding our grief, or bottling it up, and even worse denying it to even ourselves. Which just leaves us severed from our own energetic sensing system.
There are many other areas that I experience much more than other people, but it is not really that relevant for the purposes of this article.
If you are aware, then you already know what I’m talking about and there are plenty of books and videos available elsewhere if you wish to learn more about the subject.
My reason for writing this piece is to speak about it from a bringing your gifts perspective. When it comes to bringing your unique essence to the world, it can be quite scary if you are empathic because it requires you to bring highly tuned self forwards too. Which is often the part we keep hidden. This is the part that many do not believe even exists, or do not understand so it often feels safer to simply keep it hidden from view. We do not want to be labelled as weird or kooky, or woo woo, so it is just best not to mention it.
But what if bringing your gifts forward requires you to show this part of yourself? I think many empathic people, Earth people etc, hide their light and even never bring their message or voice forwards because of this dilemma.
However, if you are reading this, the chances are you do not want to hide your light under a bushel, and are ready to bring your light to the world.
So, what is the best way forwards with this?
How can you manage your highly attuned -ness and still be in business with “normal” people who seem to have no idea of what it is like to be you?
One of the most important things is - Know your limits.
If if you find it difficult being in a meeting room filled with Bluetooth for example (I don’t use Bluetooth because it hurts my head. I have keyboards via usb. I have Bluetooth turned off on all my devices, especially in the car as I get really affected in the farriday cage type-ness of a car.
