Heavy Hearts; A Time for Healing
/
Well we made it to the halfway marker for the year.., and as we start this new month, there is a palpable heaviness in my heart.
To say 2020 has been tumultuous would definitely be an understatement; however, the past week has been especially hard. I’m sure that you’re feeling it too.
There’s a heaviness within and around us, no matter where we are, as a global community we can feel it.
As a highly sensitive person you may be feeling physical experiences of your heavy heart showing up as:
Trouble Breathing/Holding your Breath
Mouth Breathing
Insomnia
Anxiety
Racing Heart
Chest Pain
Nervous Energy
Panic Attacks
You may also be experiencing mental, emotional, and spiritual effects from all of the intensity as well. Some symptoms of this strain can show up as:
Lethargy
Deep Waves of Grief
Fear
Heaviness
Confusion
Overwhelm
Trouble Focusing
Feeling of Being Disconnected from Source
Unsure of how to move forward or remember purpose
Analysis Paralysis
Self Medicating
Co-dependent Behaviors or Patterns
When we experience trauma, whether it’s direct or indirect it’s imperative that we move through it and actually allow ourselves to feel what we’re feeling. Often times highly sensitive people have been told they’re “just too sensitive” their whole lives or that they need to “toughen up and get a grip” so they often haven’t learned how to feel their feelings without ridicule or shame and tend to hold things inside. Many highly sensitive people experience imploding, where the hurt is all inside of them as this has been a “safe” pattern for them to feel their feelings while being surrounded by people who didn’t allow them to feel or express themselves in a healthy way.
So, while we’re moving through this time together; it’s of the upmost importance to give yourself permission to move through your emotional process; knowing that it’s part of the pathway toward healing. If you have little ones at home with you, allowing them to see you model healthy coping mechanisms and emotional healing are powerful lessons that you have the opportunity to share with them.
If you need support in moving through your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, please reach out for support.
You aren’t alone; and asking for help is very important.
If you feel called to physically get out and help, reach out to your local community to see what you can do. Remember this is something that you’ll be called to do, please don’t allow someone to coerce or guilt you into an action that isn’t a fit for you.
There are many ways to help including making calls, petitions, fundraising, raising awareness of groups who need volunteers etc. Tune into what your inner guidance is guiding you to do and allow others to honor what they’re being guided to do.
As a highly sensitive person, it’s important to hold strong boundaries around yourself especially if you have people in your life who want to drain the little bit of extra energy you have. Breathe, and know there is a difference between being there for someone and letting people deplete you.
Many Lightworkers are being called to do energy work, prayer, clearings, and healing at this time. If you’re being called to this work, please know that it’s very important and very needed right now. Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Support are all needed at this time, equally. In any ways that you’re being guided to serve, your actions are appreciated and impactful.
It’s important to go slow at this time, to the best of your ability and to rest when you can. Trauma is well, traumatizing and takes a huge toll on us.
This is the time to lean into your extra tools and support systems.
This is the time to allow yourself to receive help.
This is the time to lean into your support circle, even if your circle is purely digital.
This is the time to breathe, and to reset your nervous system.
This is the time to feel your feelings.
This is the time to ask for support when you need it.
As we continue to move through this week, I just want to give you a gentle reminder that there’s a full moon eclipse happening on Friday. Full moons can be intense and can lead to pressure building within and around us even in the most gentle times. So, please just pay attention to the way you’re feeling as we continue to move closer to the Friday energy and to be conscientious about where you go and what you do.
I’m sending you so much love, gentility, and comfort,
Kristy~xoxo
