Are You
Really to Sensitive?
Seriously??
By Cindy Griffith
Seriously?! Seriously, how many times have you heard
someone say “You are just too sensitive!” My dad used to say that all the time,
so when I saw Marcy Calhoun’s book “Are You Really Too Sensitive?,” I knew it
was a book I had to have! She goes in depth about types of psychic sensitivity
and how to deal with them. I think it is out of print, yet I highly recommend it
for anyone who feels the least intuitive. Often times we start to develop
sensitivity even before we know we are psychic. If you want to know when your
psychic awareness started, look to when you became sensitive to your
surroundings.
I often have people ask me when I first knew I had "the gift". First off,
calling psychic or empathic abilities a gift is like calling a woman’s monthly
visitor a friend! Friend? Sure that monthly guest let’s us know we are still
fertile, which is a great thing. It’s just the bloating, cramping and crankies
that I can do without. Same goes for psychic or empathic abilities. Yes I like
being a psychic. No, I really don’t want to feel your headache or know that you
are lying to that person! Not sure if gift is the right word for that “special
feeling” we get, but they say gifts are best given, so let me offer you the gift
of some tips on dealing with psychic sensitiveness.
It’s not me… it’s you! ~ Empathic Connections
Empathic connection means that you can feel or sense what another is
experiencing. It is usually a physical or emotional connection, but it can also
be the feelings that go along with stress or mental anguish. It is not always
coming from someone in close proximity, but that is the most common. The first
step to dealing with empathic sensitivity is to know what is yours and what
isn’t. If you are not prone to headaches yet all the sudden you get one, you
might want to look around and see who near by is holding their head or has brow
furrowed. Very often an empathic or intuitive person will literally feel what
someone else is feeling. When you think it is yours, you tend to hold onto it
even after that person has left your vicinity. So what to do?
When you get a sensation, emotion, pain, mental stress etc that comes on
quickly, take a moment to see if there is any reason that this should be
occurring. Think about things like eating habits, emotional triggers, etc that
might cause what you are experiencing. Let’s say you are in a restaurant and
suddenly feeling very emotional. Did anything happen today that would lead you
too be emotional? Is the conversation you are having over lunch making you
emotional? If you can’t think of anything, look around and see who you are near.
It might be the person sitting next to you or the waitress taking your order. Is
your friend telling you about an argument they had with their spouse this
morning? At restaurants, it could be that the cook that you can’t even see, yet
prepared your meal is upset. It doesn’t matter” who” as much as determining that
it isn’t yours.
Once you have determined that you are not the source, there are at least two
things you can do. Calhoun suggests that you repeat your name to yourself. I
would say to myself “I am Cindy.” Feeling your feet on the ground also ensures
that you are in your body and connected to yourself not who ever is having the
problem. I will imagine a ball of very bright light in my heart center and I
explode it outward, clearing my body and telling myself “I fully release what
ever is not mine.” After that, I suggest that you ask the Recycling Angels to
come and take away what ever is released and send it to the light for healing.
Then recheck and see if it is still there. You will need to be honest here.
Maybe your friend was dumping on you one too many times and that anger you were
feeling was yours. Usually though, by then the sensation has been cleared out. I
like to finish up with surrounding myself with golden light as a healing salve.
I am so annoyed at this loud music or person or barking dog!
When psychic abilities are moving to a new level, we tend to feel like a psychic
sponge, sucking up every energetic yuck that flies by. Well, just like a sponge
can be wrung out, so can we. Often it is excess energy, annoying because it is
vibrating either higher or lower than you are. Once you are good at identifying
it, you can keep it from coming into your body. But until then, we can do an
exercise that helps let go of the excess energy that we have absorbed while
strengthening our Outer Bodies so we are not quite so porous. For this, I
recommend grounding and a Golden Light Exercise. Don’t worry; this is a no sweat
type of exercise!
First take a moment to be aware that you have taken on excess energy. Eventually
the Golden Light Exercise will stop the energy from coming in, but this is for
once it is already there. See what ever is bugging you as energy and
depersonalize it. See it as a color in your body. Imagine or know that you have
a root that runs down your legs and into Mother Earth. See the energy you have
taken on run down your body and into the Earth. Thank Mother Earth for dealing
with this energy and affirm you will become more aware and not take other’s
energy on so easily. Now picture golden light coming from above your head,
entering in through the top of your head and filling up your entire body. The
Golden light also flows down through the roots, washing out any remaining color
of that excess energy you took on earlier. This golden light is healing to you
and to Mother Earth. Allow that golden light to just flow from head to root for
a minute or two. Now see the golden light filling up your entire body and
expanding out in a 5 foot radius. It is like a circle of light above, below,
side to side and behind you. Once your entire circle is as full of golden light
as possible, allow it to dissipate and ask the Recycling Angles to come pick up
what is released.
This exercise strengthens your Outer Bodies and you will not be so prone to take
in energy that is vibrating lower than you are and your body will continue to
vibrate at higher and higher levels. Sometimes you can just imagine that your
body looks like Scotty is beaming you up and that allows the energy to just flow
through you and not stick. There are many ways to work with excess energy. The
important thing to remember is that sensitive isn’t a good or a bad word. It
describes the awareness of energy that can not be seen. Although it can feel
really icky until you can develop ways to work with it. I hope this helps give
you some pointers to start with.
