Are You A Highly Sensitive Person?
Highly Sensitive Person – Becoming Aware
Highly sensitive people have keen intuition and feel what others feel. Understanding sensitivity of a person who is highly sensitive, and growing beyond into a highly aware person, is the next step. A mass awakening is occurring as more people will find that they are tuning into vibrations of others. This is the first step of the returning to self (conscious mind). Often, it is not until challenged or overwhelmed that you seek change. The highly sensitive person is learning that there is no separateness. This step leads to exploring why this is happening and how you can manage overwhelm, as you determine just what is going on. When you explore and change what is within (vibrational frequencies), the world around you changes. It must because it is only a mirror for you to experience and validate your illusionary experience of separateness. Now, you can begin to create with conscious mind by extending your higher vibrational patterns.
Highly Sensitive Person – Evolution
Why are you both self (ego) and self (conscious mind)? According to writer and psychotherapist, Elaine Aron, about 20% of the population is highly sensitive. She further explains that being so was a desirable trait during mankind’s very early history. During hunter/gatherer times, this attribute allowed us to be an early warning detection system, while helping us survive harsh environments where predators were numerous. She has also done studies that appear to suggest that persons who are highly sensitive have lower serotonin levels. This ties in with the ability to detect subtle change and fluctuations in the environment and also explains why many highly sensitive people suffer periods of depression.
Another interesting aspect is considering self (ego) as a survival tool. Using heightened sensitivity protected early man from danger and also created “I,” “me,” and “mine.” Adopting positional relevance led to greater development of self and gave rise to ego self of modern man. Ego self has allowed the individual experience of human form in the world. This experience has peeked with exponential growth. Highly sensitive people, who throughout history have used their sensitivity and intuition to herald approaching change for others, are now activating in growing awareness.
thanks good advice!
