Pre my late thirties is covered in the early years; in retrospect it is quite apparent I have always been sensitive but it was only at this time that I realised some of my apparent difficulties were likely to be due to my ability to feel things in a different way than others.

My life and my journey are to help myself and others discover their true nature, which is just "Being Love". The combination of experiencing life through truth and compassion and in a culture that does not consider either a priority, herald's enormous challenge. The aim to achieve the ability to "witness without judgement" and "love without boundaries" whilst retaining personal love and respect is not achievable by ourselves. The following essay serves to reassure highly sensitive beings that there is a "map" home and it is also the essence of who I am and gives a flavour of my own inner and outer journey.

feeling my way home ...

My experience and in the words of Dr Richard Jeluisch, "a major challenge for naturally empathic people, highly sensitive individuals or what I call Clairsentients is to accept their "Purity" in this lifetime". This thought often feels alien to us; incomprehensible that we could be Pure. We do not feel pure and our shadow emerges waving a list of less than pure thoughts, habits and actions of the past.

A great soul and teacher Dr Richard Jelusich (author of Eye of the Lotus, the Psychology of the Chakras) ISBN 0-940985-76-4 told me with deep sincerity
"You are as you are (Empathic) having lived many good past lives"

Tricia McCannon author of Dialogues with Angels, ISBN 1-886932-01-8 mystic, historian, shaman, spiritual teacher & clairvoyant also said
"I know you do not feel this but you have a very high level of purity that comes from past lives and you hail from what we call the illuminated realms less than a million years ago" (which apparently is comparatively recent).

I could go on with others; Mexican, Canadian and South American indigenous peoples, teachers, healers, shaman and medicine people, even a Roman Catholic priest I met in Lourdes and yes they were right I could not feel any of this purity that they all talked about.

Now I feel differently and as I talk with others and often as I look into their eyes I can see & feel this purity. I feel, hear and see it emerge, a beautiful clear childlike quality of innocence. I often feel my own energy stir as I touch their field holding a space that we may drop our judgements that hold in place an often inherited & absorbed false concept of Self. I do this through holding the awareness of "reverence & sacredness" or touching the holiness that I feel is impregnated in our very DNA.Interestingly, Doug Braden's new book the acclaimed "God Code" reports that after many of years of research the name of God; however it is spelt is now scientifically proven to be encoded in our DNA.

"Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy".
-Abraham Joshua Heschel

Often when we cannot feel this could possibily be "us" it is because we are not living "our" lives; having compromised ourselves to such a degree, this "false Self" firmly has control. We become a puppet often with others still firmly holding onto the strings! The journey to remembering who we are is truly the path of the "Spirtual Warrior" & the ending will be truly beautiful.

It is told clearly in the following Buddhist text:

"Whatever is not yours abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness".

Encouragement and advice comes from St. Francis of Assisi

"Spirtual joy arises from Purity of the Heart and perseverance in prayer".

To continue, I used to be very cautious about saying this but:

High sensitivity is a "gift" it is not weakness or an illness. There is no such thing as being "too sensitive"; if you are born highly sensitive, you were born with a strong connection to Source. However it would not be helpful to tell someone when in the grips of debilitating illness that "It is through many good lifetimes that you are here now and in this body and with these "symptoms".

When I was ill, that information would have seemed pointless and highly frustrating if given at a time when all I wanted was help to be released from pain and exhaustion.

However ENLIGHTENMENT AWAITS

Your heightened ability to FEEL is indeed a precious gift. This gift will allow you as a Soul the potential in this lifetime for enormous growth.

At some point when we grow weary of trying to get others to understand us and how we feel

STOP ... & ask yourself "can I imagine what it must be like from their perspective not to be able to feel ... or to be what is called "insensitive"?

Your Feeling is such a gift & "IN ITS PERFECT STATE" it allows you .....

TO KNOW THE TRUTH!

Through misuse of our abilities or the manipulation of our energy when we use COMPROMISE and ignore our "Knowing" this causes our gift to move into the darkness (or outside our awareness). At this point our body ceases to flow and struggle begins.

The way back Home which is Peace through health, wholeness, holy ... they are all the same word ....

IS UNDERSTANDING SACREDNESS

Your gift will help you feel this .. If you were not in touch with your feelings you would be unable to even contemplate this path.

In subtraction we peel away all the dross to reveal the innocent ...

IT IS WHO we ARE

You do not need to meditate on being loving and compassionate

YOU ARE COMPASSION

You do not need to be told about Truth

YOU ARE TRUTH

When your way of experiencing the world is through your feelings

YOU CAN ONLY KNOW THE TRUTH

To deny this Truth is to deny who you are ....

THE WAY FORWARD ... firstly

Accept and Honour your gift because you feel in a way others often do not so HONOUR IT WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE.

Respect yourself as you respect others ...

Love yourself as you would like others to love you ...

Interestingly, gratitude feeds the third chakra and this power chakra is normally in a weakened state and needs help so ... start practicing now.

In the meantime & this is crucial ...

Tell yourself that from now on you honour who you are and your connection to Source, Light, Creator, or God ..... When noise subsides we reconnect with our natural abilities ...

It is crucial that we learn how to be "still" because it is "in that stillness" that the way forward opens and we slip into the universal flow. Whatever you believe and the name does not matter albeit Spirit, Creator, God or some other ... the essence of which runs through us and the Universe and is speaking to us through the four elements; the balance of these takes us towards enlightenment which is "awareness of Home and Peace".

The highest form of prayer or meditation is to practice awareness and be in oneness with the sacredness of these elements - & we can do this by practicing gratitude for them.

Diane Skafte puts it beautifully in her book on Oracles,

"As we meet the next millennium with a commitment to global consciousness, we may find special value in learning about traditions that took anima mundi - an ensouled world - as their starting point".

That is your natural way of Being and the following are words of truth -embrace this way of being .. It is truly who you are ....

"Training began with children who were taught to sit still and enjoy it. They were taught to use their organs to smell, to look where there was apparently nothing to see and to listen intently when all seemingly was quiet. A child who cannot sit still is a half-developed child."
Luther Standing Bear (1868 - 1939) Oglala Sioux chief
