Journey to the Divine
Episode 1: Sexy Poets Summer Series:
Original poems by Sandi – O’vehlu
Turn your eyes on me
the depths are as deep
as a root of
a tree
Reach out your arms toward
a love earth-bound
the trunk is silent
doesn’t make a sound
Bark, calloused, and weathered
skin shivers at the
slightest touch
Is this too much…

Ugghhh… I don’t want to talk about this and have been putting it off. Highly Sensitive People. Better known as HSP. There are a bunch of cool vids and info out there about highly sensitive people. Today, I want to talk about what it’s like to deal with this gift daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, heck, minute by minute.
If you’re reading this, and it’s found its way to your digital door, you don’t need a definition for HSP. You know what it’s like. And, I’m writing this for you. For me, for other people who have the privilege of knowing HSPs. Yes, it is a privilege.
So, let’s get started. (I’m flying by the seat of my pants here.) Big number ONE: It’s okay if no one understands you. There are others who do, and you’ve come to the right place. Own it, flaunt it.
Big number TWO: All the feelings and emotions you carry, aren’t always yours. Empathic abilities are a key ingredient to HSPs. If it’s not yours, don’t own it.
Big number THREE: You will know if you are owning others’ pain, emotions, or other ‘stuff’, because it hits you suddenly. Out of nowhere. But I don’t have to explain it to you – you know what I am talking about.
Big number FOUR: Draw boundaries. There are plenty of meditations out there than can guide you to put up walls of protection.
Big number FIVE: Use your gifts for the good of everyone around you and globally. The world needs you. Armor up, learn to tell the difference between being used, and being helpful, and let’s do what we came here to do – our life path – helping others. Many, many, blessings to you kind, highly sensitive souls.
As 2020 wraps up, and the slush of the maddening phases we’re overcoming, including government, Covid-19 pandemic, and our very own issues of survival come to a head, the door is about to open. I welcome it. All of it. Because that door will contain challenges, un-foreseen consequences of what we have done, or not done collectively.
Personally? Well, my door has been closed. Healing has been on the menu. Healing on physical levels, emotional, and mental. As I get ready to open the door, I invite those whom have done the same, to enter: like-minded, supportive, non-judgmental, and spiritually attuned, welcome!
Still working on it? I take my hat off to you, and hope you will continue. Don’t give up. Keep up the good work, and know you’re on the right track. Peace within, starts with you. Peace without, starts with those you know who are willing to grow with you.
Sending out blessings to all, and I’ll catch you next time…
Many blessings,
Sandi
