Finding Your Center Creative Living Tip #1


Creative Living Tips for
Highly Sensitive Souls




I invite you to join me as we explore new ways to help you live a life of  peace and harmony. Each week there will be simple creative tips, tools and processes that can support your growth and catapult you into another Universe. You can explore and learn some new simple and fun ways  to balance your energy system, and be supported on your path for the beautiful soul that  ignites you and is creatively inspirational.

During the last several weeks, I have had the pleasure to converse with several HSP's and found that almost always, HSP's and Empaths seem to struggle with day to day living and just don't know what to do. Most of time they have felt overwhelmed and feel challenged to stay centered and grounded.

Does this sound like you?

If so, I can help you learn some really fun quick self-healing and energy balancing tools that will create New Worlds for you. 

Are you ready to begin? Then lets get started!


As Empaths and Highly Sensitive Souls, we have a tendency to feel and take on other people's emotions, thoughts, feelings as deeply than our own. When we do, we become emotional sponges that have overloaded our nervous system by taking other people's energies all day long.



Some Things We Can Experience
  • Did you ever find it is too much to be in large groups of people for too long? 
  • Do feel wonderfully expansive and all of a sudden feel like you were hit with a lead balloon feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, depressed and exhausted?
  • Does your work space feel confining, overwhelming and cramped?  Is there too much noise, too much talking and does negative gossip pull you in?


  • Could your emotional spin be due to people's uneasy energies? 
  • Could the vibrational frequencies of humanity's global suffering be pulling you down?
  • Could you be sensing something is coming? A shift of Earth's magnetic grid creating some cosmic event?
Most of the time what you feel and sense are vibrational frequencies not in harmony with your own. When this suddenly happens it causes your nervous system to become overloaded with the thoughts, feelings, sensations from some other place.

In the beginning of my journey it was a challenge for me to discern and know that what I was feeling did not even belong to me. For a highly sensitive person it becomes paramount to learn to use conscious tools that allows you to expand your living energy system.


      Have You Ever Said 
      "What Just Happened?"

      If this feels like you... you probably have taken on other peoples' emotional distortions. But there is hope! ... and I can help you learn ways to feel lighter and to feel more joyful for longer periods of time. With the tools and processes you can learn each week can help support you, so you no longer  feel like you have been dragged through the wringer.


      Become Aware & Tune-in
      Become empowered and tune in, what are you sensing and feeling?  Do you  identify feelings of sadness, depression, sudden overwhelming feelings along with emotions of anger, frustration, and other distortions?

      Again: the general idea is that the feelings, thoughts and energies from others shift  your nervous system and make the living energy system go down.  You are an Empath -- a highly telepathic, super-sensitive, spiritual being -- and many of the things that you are sensing simply do not originate from you. Your incredible sensitivity allow you to pick-up, view the feelings, energies, thoughts, and dreams of others. This might explain why, sometimes, all of a sudden you go from feeling happy to feeling sad, or angry ... and everything in your sensory field of awareness seems to quickly go out of balance.

      You might also be the type of person who experiences body sensations that are heavy, achy, tired, painful and take on headache's from others with the work that you do. This is especially true of body-workers, massage practitioners, counselors and other healing guides that are Empaths or HSPs.

      If you would like to know more about HSP's go to Sensitivesouls.net. See the section "About HSPs."

      Would You Like to 
      Feel More Centered?

      The good news is: you can. You can feel lighter. You can feel more grounded when you intentionally return all the body and emotional "stuff" directly back to the sender, or to the event or place that it originated from.  



      Empower Yourself!
      Create Something Different!


      Relax and Reboot
      1. Find a quiet peaceful private place just for you where you can relax and tune into your body. Let go of your mind's "to do list" and open your heart and soul.  
      2. Take a few deep heart-centered breaths and relax the best you can.  
      3. Settle in and take a few moments to listen to your inner world.  Expand out and see yourself as you want yourself to be.


      Connect within ... tune into what you are feeling. What are you sensing in your body? Do you have an awareness of when you psychically and energetically shifted into this place?

      Slow down and take the time to listen to the meditative music for as long and as often as you wish.  When you are ready just move onto the next step.

      Begin by asking Simple Questions
      If you feel heavy, out of sorts and suddenly overwhelmed, 99.9% of the time ... those feelings do not belong to you. You may or may not be able to decipher the who, what or where those feelings came from. Knowing who the feelings belong to is not important. You do not need to "figure it out." 
      Just ask~

      • Is this mine or someone else's?

      • Does this belong to me, the Earth or my workplace?



      Check in and Return them to Sender

      Say:

      I return these  __________________  (fill in the blank with the feelings and emotions that you are experiencing, that are not yours) to the sender, to the event or the Earth with love, peace and loving consciousness that is far greater than it manifested through me.

      EXAMPLE:

      I return my fear of a economic disaster to humanity and to the Earth with loving consciousness far greater than it manifested through me.

      Say this 3 times or until you feel lighter.

      Next, Observe and Ask:
      "How do I feel?"

      Do I feel the same or lighter or heavier? If you feel a little lighter and it hasn't fully cleared, you can repeat this exercise several more times until you feel complete. When you feel lighter your are done. It is just that easy!  Yeah you did it.  Congratulations! 

       Release the Energetic Imprinting

      Say:

      I release all of the vibrational frequencies and imprinting from my body, my mind, my energy bodies and my nervous system back to _______________  (fill in the blank). I send it back with peace and loving consciousness that is far greater that it manifested through me.

      Say this 3 times or until you feel lighter.


      I must say this one little exercise works great most of the time however, what I noticed when things are really stressful and there are a lot of sudden changes in my life, I do require additional down time and implement more self-healing protocols daily. What seems to work its magic is rest, balanced whole foods diet, being empowered to say No to things that don't feel inspiring, distance healing energy sessions and light massage. You will find the way that best supports your life.


      What I would like to share with you about this simple exercise is that you don't even have to know who the sender or senders are, the  home or the Earth or global event that created it.

      You know the Earth is shifting and are aware of the climatic changes that we are experiencing every day. If you are Empathic Sensitive Soul who is connected deeply to the Earth energies through ceremonial work that you do, you might be feeling the planet-wide shifting more profoundly in your brain and nervous system than most of the global population.

      Through your intuitive awareness over time you will realize when your energy system shifted became overloaded causing you to feel really off balance. Your job is to tune in, take care of yourself and know there is nothing wrong with you  Realize you are a highly sensitive person who is really a sensitive being with wonderful gifts to share with the world. The more you continue to do this exercise the more you will become aware and the better you will feel. 


      If you still feel heavy you may need some additional down time incorporating more rest, water, and nutrients. Deeper processing with a professional who is trained in understanding Empaths and HSP'S might be what is needed.

      If you would like to work with me you can find a link to my services below. I also will be offering playshops in the near future that are designed especially for HSPs.

      Enlightened Insights
       

      When I do this exercise and return the energy back to sender and follow the steps above, I also add this Chakra balancing piece:

      The third Chakra is also called the solar plexus and is located below the ribs and above the navel in the middle of the abdomen. I physically take my hands and pull the energy out of my power Chakra, or 3rd Chakra, while saying the statement in Part 1, above.

      For creating a light and more balanced vibration, this advanced tip works magnificently with my personal energy system.   


      How often do I do this Exercise?

      Do this as many times during the day that you feel you need to. There is never a certain number of repetitions that you have to do ... follow your own inner guidance system.

      The writings here in this blog are just guidelines. Feel and know what is right for you and go with it! Know that your own highest awareness will guide you on your chosen path.

      ....................................................

      PS: This has really-really worked for me over the past decade. I learned a version of this exercise in my Polarity and Access Consciousness trainings and have created my own format here.

      Next week I will be posting Creative Living tip #2. Enjoy your week and if you have any questions please write me at:

      Journey of the Highly Sensitive Person

      Welcome to the Family of Highly Sensitive Souls!

      Come experience and learn to embrace the wonderfully sensitive, empathic, intuitive person that you really are. Grow through first-hand experiences that you can find peace of mind in your life ... and in this world. We can help you at The Sensitive Souls Network.

      Why?

      Because you are no longer alone in the struggle to figure out what's next? ... or feeling that you have to "fix" yourself ... or thinking that you are weird and do not fit-in.

      The Reality is ...

      Highly Sensitive People are the most creative and inspirational people on the planet! We are the artists, healers, pioneers and inventors at the leading edge of humankind's most positive evolution. We consist of highly creative thinkers, intuitives, empaths, and compassionate beings of all ages, cultures and walks of life -- world wide. We are cutting edge visionaries who experience life differently through our senses, as well as philosophically ... as compared to people who compose the main body of societies all around the world.





      Who are we?
      • We are counselors, healers, doctors, artists, educators, psychotherapists, social workers, directors, CEO's and life's mentors. We come from all walks of life.

      • We are kids, parents, grandparents, teens, boys, girls, women, men and babies that make up (what I believe to be) more than 20% of all the people on the planet.
      • We are sensitive to sounds, movements, waves, rhythms, florescent lighting, strong smells, violent movies, too much talking, long work days, violent outburst, people who are unkind, babies crying.  Some of us are more finely tuned in a sensory area.  One person might be more visually aware, another more kinesthetic.  
      • We are intelligent, intuitive, creative beings that have unusual sensory awareness, perception, understanding and wisdom to share with this world.  These are our gifts.   
      • We need rest and relaxation -- inward time --  and time to simply Be. 
      • We love the creative expression of the natural world, photography, nature, art, music genres that support our path and connect us to the Earth, Universe, other Sensitive Souls, as well as benevolent spiritual beings who exist throughout the cosmos. 
      • We can get easily overly stimulated, don't like loud noises and find too many tasks overwhelming.

        How do I find  out if I am an HSP?

        Because you are drawn to this blog, there is a very good chance you are a Highly Sensitive Being.  But if you are unsure ...  you can just go to the home page of the Sensitive Souls website and take the test developed by Elaine Aron, the creator of the term "Highly Sensitive People."

        The Wisdom Quest


        The reality is: You do fit in!

        Here in this community of Highly Sensitive Souls you are part of us, you fit in, you have found a home and a family of people like yourself.

        There are thousand of people like us, who understand what it is like being highly sensitive, who have lots of experience and lifestyle suggestions on how to set boundaries, find peace, be happy, have successful relationships  ... and how to live a really full, rich life.


        What if ....
        •  What if all along there has been nothing wrong with you?
        • Most highly sensitive people are Intuitive Empaths easily pick-up on other people's thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Hence, many of the thoughts and feelings that you are aware of, within yourself, are not yours
        • Judging yourself is stopping you from fully experiencing the joy in life as the real You ... as an exquisite Highly Sensitive Soul.
        The journey begins with making a single step on the pathway of new beginnings.

            All you have learned, know, be and perceived will only help you understand that You are an intelligent being that has so much to offer the world.  Are you  ready to begin? 





          What others don't know
          about us ...
          The dominant cultures on the planet do not recognize that Highly Sensitive People have uniquely designed nervous systems that flourish the best in healthy, green, peaceful, harmonious environments.    
          • People in our  culture don't know: We love being with people in small groups, mostly because we can pick-up every thought, feeling and belief of people near us most of the time. 
          • People in our  culture don't know: We have labeled ourselves as introverts and extroverts!  The word  Introverts really means "going inward" and extrovert means going outward.  Please be careful not to use labels that may limit your potential.
          •  People in our  culture don't know: we thrive on living a simple life and love the arts, nature and taking time to connect deeply within.

          There are no limits to what we can do ... we are the creative visionaries of this world and without us humankind will not survive.


          A Place Just for You

          Isn't it exciting to know that there is a place just for you?  My hope is that this blog and the Sensitive Souls website will be a wonderful venue for you to visit, learn, grow and expand into who you really were meant to be.

          You can get Free Stuff each month and enjoy over 1,000 movies that are in harmony with being a Highly Sensitive Person, at my partner's website: Soul Connection TV. We will be offering many of the same venues here in the future.


          Believe you can be healthy, happy and live a peaceful life!

          • Share your wonderful gifts and talents in the world. The world needs you.
          • Let go of what no longer works and step into and embrace your differences, and see them as gifts.
          • Open to and really listen to the longing of your heart and soul ... and  become the person you always wanted to be.


          Believe
          Believe in what your heart is saying,
          Hear the melody that's playing.
          There's no time to waste,
          There so much to celebrate.
          Believe in what you feel inside,
          Give your dreams the wings to fly.
           
          You have everything you need,
          if you just believe.
