What I would love for you to consider and what I'm not really hearing in all the videos that I have watched regarding highly sensitive people,
What I think you need to know is we are uniquely designed to be the modern day healers,
The visionaries,
The creatives and artists,
The spiritual teachers and leaders,
The prayer warriors in our communities.
In ancient times,
We were probably the shamans,
The medicine men and women,
The wise ones who counseled our tribe and connected us to the universal laws.
Blessings.
This is Brenda Cary and I'm a holistic healer and meditation teacher for highly sensitive souls just like myself who desire to elevate their health energetically,
To have the freedom to explore their own spiritual path and sacred medicine within them.
Let's have a conscious conversation on what it means to be a highly sensitive person.
I've watched several videos on this topic and there is a spiritual perspective that I'm not hearing or at least it's not the predominant voice that I think is really important for you to know or to at least consider.
As a continuing spiritual seeker and maybe you are as well,
I always like to ask why?
Like I always think that there is a reason,
A greater purpose,
Even if I don't understand it at the time.
So once I discovered that I was highly sensitive,
I just innately asked,
Well,
Why?
Why would there be individuals like myself on the planet at this time and throughout history?
Why is there a reason that we can process our thoughts and emotions deeply?
Why do we think creatively and innovatively and think out of the box,
Which sometimes makes us feel like we don't fit in?
Why do we notice subtle changes in our outer environment or within our own bodies or in other people's emotions and moods?
And why are we more attuned to sight,
Smells,
Sounds,
Taste,
Texture?
And why do we get like intuitive hits sometimes just out of the blue and no one else seems to get those?
So here's my thoughts on that and I would love to hear your comments as well.
My perspective is highly sensitive people are uniquely designed to be the modern day healers,
The visionaries,
The spiritual teachers and leaders,
The prayer warriors,
The creatives and artists,
The musicians.
And I think in ancient times,
We were the shamans,
We were the medicine men and women,
We were part of the council of wise ones in our tribe that allowed us to see spiritual laws and universal principles.
And I personally think that this isn't something to be taken lightly.
I actually think it's a great responsibility,
Especially in a world where there is a lot of pain.
And yes,
Because our chaotic world is not so accommodating to our highly sensitive abilities,
There will be times when we struggle,
There will be times when we're overstimulated,
When we think so deeply and so passionately about something that we fall into overwhelm,
Which leads to compassion fatigue or burnout.
I've been there.
And as the saying goes,
And I don't mean for this to be cliche at all,
Where our attention goes,
Our energy flows.
And as I mentioned,
A lot of the videos are on what I don't want to put my attention on,
Like the overwhelm,
Like the anxiety,
Like the overstimulation.
And I'm not saying just to ignore those things and bypass them and pretend that they don't exist,
But also to shift my perspective and look at my gifts and abilities,
Your gifts and abilities as a modern day healer.
And you might be thinking,
I'm not a healer.
That's not something that I do.
Or maybe you're a healer.
Maybe you are a Reiki master or an energy healer.
Maybe you do Oracle card readings.
Maybe you are a spiritual leader in your community,
But I think highly sensitive people can be healers in very unassuming ways.
Take for example,
One of my clients,
She is,
Her title is officially a financial planner.
And as a financial planner,
What she actually does is she helps people heal their relationship with money and abundance.
She's highly empathic and that is her gift in this world.
I have another sweet soul that she is a physician.
That's her official title,
But she listens to her patients so deeply and with such empathy that she is a healer in a hospital.
Perhaps you love to cook and you put all of your heart and soul into the dish that you prepared.
Then you,
My friend,
Are a healer and food is the conduit of your healing.
Or perhaps you're a caregiver.
Maybe you parent children or a grandparent of a child.
Maybe you take care of pets or plants and you give your presence,
Your love and attention.
And so yes,
You are a healer in this world.
I hope you see that as a highly sensitive person,
You get to give your gift of whatever type of healing that you offer.
Now I do hope that you are taking such good care of yourself.
And that's part of what my channel is about,
Is using different modalities like meditation,
Like energy healing,
To bring you into wholeness.
Because we can't authentically give out what we don't have inside.
And if we are depleted and running low on our own reserves,
Then that's when some of those symptoms we hear about in those other videos.
But I'm going to choose to focus my attention on the abilities,
On shifting towards abundance,
Towards joy,
While also taking care of myself.
And I hope you join me in that as well.
And that you are affirming your gifts,
Your unique abilities as a highly sensitive person.
