Perhaps it's because I am a "sensitive" but I regularly go through phases of (what I call) "Heightened Awareness". During those times, I have increased sensitivity to my external environment, especially to the vibrations and emotions of people, places, and energies.
When I am in a phase of Heightened Awareness, I tend to be easily stirred up energetically and emotionally. I FEEL intensely. This can serve me well in my work as a medium and spiritual intuitive, but in everyday life it can become exhausting or jangling. This is why I diligently strive for balance with my energy.
For when I feel energetically jangled, I can easily move into a state of Hypersensitivity. Noises, loud voices, and bright lights can overstimulate me. The least little thing can upset my apple cart emotionally. I crave silence and solitude. I suppose it's like having a migraine without the physical pain.
This is another reason I strive for balance and right practice of my spiritual gifts. And this is also why I monitor myself so closely so that I don't get overloaded. Thankfully, I know how to recognize my particular signs and have coping measures in place.
I am blessed to live in Lily Dale where we have beautiful Cassadaga Lake and many trails in an old-growth forest. So when I am overloaded, my number one coping stategy is walking alone in nature. I hit those trails and it's just me and the trees.
Like a zooming telescopic lens, I see the minutest details of leaves, spiderwebs, rocks, treebark, water ripples, etc. I hear the soft thud of my footfalls on the trails, the sweet whoosh of the wind through the trees, and the geese honking and flapping over the brilliant lake waters. I let my thoughts and feelings tumble out of me.
With each step, I feel a release, and I become calm and enamored with Nature. I am refocused into BEING. And I move from a hypersensitive jangled state into a place of Peace where I can joyfully and compassionately respond to God and others.
I hope that my sharing this in a blogpost will help you and others move through your lives in a more peaceful (and centered awareness) state. For easy reference, here are some of my other coping strategies that I have blogged about in the past - including Spiritual Food, My Affirmation of Peace, Giving Thanks, Practicing the Presence of God, and many more.
Wishing you a centered awareness and much peace! ~W
