Are You Sensitive?
Why it’s a superpower and not a drawback
Have you heard that you are “too sensitive” all of your life? The observation may come as a criticism or from a concerned parent hoping you will toughen up. The overall message is, that something must be really wrong with me.
As if, being sensitive you didn't already notice that you aren’t like most people. It never helps for someone to point it out. Sensitivity aligns with the energy of yin or the feminine. The world we live in is patriarchal and decidedly yang. It is wildly out of balance. Neither masculine nor feminine is better, what we want is a balance between the two.
Ultimately, we are non-dualistic in nature. Still, while we are in the world, having an incarnated reality, we must consider yin and yang, and how the sides exist in all of us.
Are you sensitive?
Try answering a few questions…
Do you often pick up other people’s moods or emotions?
Are you able to read a room, energetically picking up the vibe?
Do you feel empathy for an animal or person you don’t know?
Do you feel drained when you are around large crowds of people?
