Do you feel things deeply?

So many of my healing clients have needed to hear this this week. The topic of sensitivity and feeling deeply has been coming up for so many. We are often shamed out of our sensitivity and told we are "too much" or "feel things too deeply" which causes big scars into adulthood. Also, I would go so far to say that sensitive people get very sad not over "stupid" things but perhaps things others may perceive as small or minor. They're still valid feelings though 😊♥️ And in times of uncertainty such as these, many of us are definitely feeling all the feels. Some of us on the planet just feel things more deeply than others, we pick up on our surroundings and it affects us more profoundly than others. And others on the planet do not. They are not right and you are not wrong. You are not superior or inferior and neither are they. Human beings are just wired differently. So, if you've ever been told you are too much or you "need to have thicker skin" please don't take it to heart. You are not wrong or broken or need to change yourself or apologise. You are simply wired differently to others.

Similarly, I bet you care sooo deeply and you love your loved ones to their core. From your core 💖 The likelihood is injustices affect you, they matter to you and you aren't numb to them. In fact you aren't numb at all. And what a wonderful way to live. 

I believe we've judged ourselves - and allowed others to judge or minimise our deep feelings - long enough. I want you to know if this is speaking to you - your sensitivity is a gift 🎁 I'll share a personal story as to why I believe it is. I've been feeling physically sick about the fact that domestic abuse has risen during the pandemic. It makes my insides shrink up. These strong visceral feelings spurred me to reach out to my local Refuge centre to offer the recovering women free online Reiki Healing sessions. This morning an ad for Refuge popped up and I immediately donated £25 for an emergency parcel of nappies, food, clothing and sanitary products. It was my deeeep feelings that inspired me to take action. And yes my skin still crawls but I feel slightly easier because I'm trying to help. If I was numb(er) who knows maybe I'd have simply thought "that's awful" and left it at that. Because we feel deeply we are very often the ones who take a stand, speak up, say no, and also say YES when it feels amazing.  

So, this week I invite you to embrace your sensitivity. Don't judge yourself - or allow others to make you feel bad - for feeling as deeply as you do. Know its a gift. And enjoy yours 🎁🥰
