STAY CURIOUS. GROW YOUR KNOW.
I once thought myself a highly sensitive person guided to serve and support other HSPs. Nothing wrong with that. And it still stands solid when I check in about it.
However, a new clarity dawns.
The WORK + WISDOM is more expansive and inclusive than I previously understood. The tenets that feel mandatory for the HSP to learn and manage in order to survive + flourish are surprisingly universal and mostly MISSING in whatever “life training” we receive from family, mentors or learning institutions.
Every participant in our modern culture experiences its warped and twisted values, its exhausting pace, never ending expectations both social, familial and professional. The ever present and EVER steepening uphill climb of survival and achievement commands us all. The commands of culture prevail until we decide to interact with them in a new way. But I digress…
Anyone can benefit from the knowledge and wisdom and spiritual medicine that benefits sensitive beings.
This does not mean that everyone is my client. But it changes how I speak my truths. I’ve been so careful to qualify my medicine and my abilities and who I’m most qualified to help. But when I simply speak and act and show myself to the world without over explanation… the under-served and often denied sensitivity that exists in ALL OF US feels seen and spoken to.
Whether the individual is in a place (internally or in life) to feel drawn to explore with me is between that individual and Spirit.
We must not assume to KNOW who we serve… too specifically.
You never know who you might help if you RESIST the urge to lead with a verbal or energetic disclaimer that you’re NOT meant to help them (however they might identify internally or externally…. on the surface or deep down inside).
This applies to business, yes. But imagine for a moment how this can apply to your general walk in life. Do you ever miss connections or interesting encounters or beneficial relationships because you’ve internally presorted your people preferences?
I’m NOT suggesting you throw out your boundaries, filters and intuition. I AM simply wondering if you’ve checked in lately about how you employ the knowledge you’ve gained about how you best operate in the world.
When mapping… tracking… safeguarding your resources and capacities as a highly sensitive being, your individuality is the key.
My FIRST tenet for the highly sensitive being to flourish in our world is TO KNOW YOURSELF.
As straight forward as this sounds (and is) it’s also an ongoing task.
What do you do with what you learn? How do you integrate new information with the well-worn wisdom you carry? What is your practice for reviewing your “processes” in daily life… in work life… in relationships?
These are good internal reflections. And my favorite way to interact with a GOOD QUESTION is to ask it… contemplate it a bit… then put it in the back pocket of my mind and walk with it for awhile. It’s AMAZING what life brings into my awareness, both in terms of confirmation or discord to help inform me and often reorganize what I now KNOW.
Whatever your processes for growing your know… I honor your work…
Walk well, my friend.
