Helping the Highly Sensitive Person to Open Their Heart

The journey of highly sensitive person to highly aware person.

How do you free your heart when you feel so intensely? The highly sensitive person feels emotion from self, others, animals and even from emotional imprints left in the environment. It can be difficult and overwhelming at times. How can you feel better? How can you find freedom from pain and suffering? Where is peace to be found?

 
3 Steps to a More Open Heart and Conscious Mind

1) Learn to identify your experience and the emotion behind it without labeling or judging (creating and attaching to thought forms) and flow with it rather than resisting. This creates greater flow and eases discomfort and dis-ease. Resistance causes MORE discomfort. Energetically you should be acknowledging, “Facing”, and allowing…. so the emotion passes through you and you release it rather than hold it.

2) Remember that emotions and their corresponding frequencies influence thoughts and beliefs which in turn either keeps the cycle going or offers you the opportunity for transcendence. Thoughts + emotion = belief system, which creates a cycle of involuntary re-activity.

3) When you feel a negative emotion take a slow breath in to the count of 4, hold for a count of 4, then exhale through your mouth slowly… counts of 4, do this 3 times. Then acknowledge the feeling, allow it, let it pass through you. This can take a moment or much longer, just let it be…. offer no resistance. If you are in an environment where you can’t do this (work/public setting) you can use discreet tapping. Let your arms fall to your side a tap your outer thigh this will temporarily redirect your focus. Later when you are in a place where you can allow the emotion, follow the above steps.

 
Why do you feel this way? Why you? You are designed this way to serve a purpose.

Elaine Aron, a highly sensitive person and psychotherapist has noted that about 20% of the population are highly sensitive persons. She postulates that this was a desirable trait during mankind’s very early history. During hunter/gatherer times this attribute allowed highly sensitive persons to act as an early warning detection system, helping early mankind survive harsh environments where predators were numerous. Scientific studies appear to suggest that highly sensitive persons have lower serotonin levels. This ties in with the ability to detect subtle changes and fluctuations in the environment and also explains why many highly sensitive persons suffer periods of depression.
