In the community lately, there has been an energy of tenderness and exploration to the emotions arising.

When the world is fast-moving, how do we slow down enough to feel?

To think? To explore? 

Have you ever felt like you feel too much, too deeply? While it feels like there are systems and voices around you, telling you to plaster over the wound, simmer down the emotion, to ease your excitement or to place the pain behind you? 

It can often feel like a sensitivity to life is a weakness, an experience that taints our ability to move through the world swiftly, as it may feel we should do, to fit within the lines. 

But could our sensitivity be an offering to what the world needs? 

When humanity’s inner life force starts to dim away in the mundane and the focus on survival, it is a fight to hold onto the spark. The ability to feel, to sense and perceive deeply beyond the veil in front of us. 

It is a strength to hold onto our connection to the world, to others and to ourselves. It is a power feel, to listen, to remain attentive. 

We may numb our emotions to cope in painful or overwhelming situations, it is a survival strategy that in many situations is necessary, but when the overwhelm infiltrates our daily lives in more obscure ways, a shutdown of our inner system takes place and this force of life from within, begins to loose energy. 

Numbing the pain, also numbs our connection to joy, meaning, clarity, wellness and aliveness. 

So if you are working to re-kindle that spark within.

May this be a reminder that your sensitivity is the part of you that…

It can be a lonely path, the hermit comes to mind. 

A archetype of introspection, solitude, inner wisdom and spiritual guidance. It is a path that takes strength and at times resistance. But it is a journey that when met with understanding and attunement, has the potential to set us free. 

Our emotions tell us what matters, what is misaligned, what needs attention. 

There isn’t a direct formula for each emotion, though on the surface, anxiety can tell us that something feels unsafe, joy may tell us that we are aligned with what is true.

But it is tuning into our own emotional landscape to sense why this feeling is arising and what it is trying to share with us that allows us to open to this source of wisdom. 

Taking time to listen to the sensitivity of our natural nature, keeps us honest and connected to what is real. 

Sometimes rest and a break away from the overwhelm of feeling is absolutely necessary.

But it is the disconnection from ourselves, others and life itself that I may invite us to remain conscious of. 

In a world full of distraction - may we keep our attunement, together, as a collective. 

And for the sensitive souls, navigating through, there is power in exploring new spaces to feel seen without judgment, developing practices that support regulation like movement, grounding and creativity and giving ourselves permission to feel at our own pace, in our own way. 

And for the activist hearts, may tuning into your sensitive nature be your own form of resistance, a refusal to walk through life half-asleep. 

It is hard to walk with sensitivity in harsh landscapes, it feels earth-shattering and uncertain. It requires a gentle strength, to listen, to be attuned, to remain open-hearted. 

May I offer, that maybe your soul is crying out for you to keep feeling, so you don’t become distracted.

And so you keep the window open for the world to feel too.
