How Sensitive Are You?

It’s estimated that around 15-20% of the world’s population have high sensory processing that makes them susceptible to sensing and feeling the emotions of others, and things that most other people do not notice.

If you have the following common traits congratulate yourself on being a highly sensitive being!

You Notice The Detail

Highly sensitive people have a tendency to view all aspects of life in great detail. They appreciate colour, texture, design and all forms of visual creation and expression. If this is you, you also probably notice subtle things like fragrances, noise, light, and the vibration of energy that people, animals and objects emit. Your senses are highly tuned into the world around you, and as a result you appreciate even the little things.

Being so open to picking up on everything can sometimes make a highly sensitive person feel overwhelmed or burdened. Make sure that you limit the intensity of your experiences so that you are comfortable and in control.

You Have A Wide Range Of Emotions

Being switched on to a wide range of emotions is something that highly sensitive people are exceptionally good at. You can sense, feel and experience positive and negative emotions deeply, and this can often become challenging or a problem.

Knowing how to properly exercise your boundaries can help you keep negative energy and emotions in check. Using psychic protection can also help to strengthen your aura, so that you don’t feel the emotions of others quite so strongly.

Your Intuition Is Highly Tuned

Most highly sensitive people have a sense of knowing that is finely tuned. They know how this inner guidance system works and trust it implicitly. Tapping into your intuition connects you with your Higher Self, and enhances your experiences, opportunities, and just about everything else.

Meditation practice can help you to open up your spiritual connection so that you can learn to work with, and trust, your intuition. Pay attention to the feeling in your gut or solar plexus. This is one of the most common ways in which intuition is physically felt in the body.

You Crave Solo Time

If you have a tendency to feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or the fact that you notice so many things, you probably crave alone time. Needing to be alone doesn’t mean that you are introverted or anti-social. You simply need quality downtime in which to meditate, chill, relax and process your thoughts. Solo time also gives you the space that you need to get grounded, and to clear your energy.

If you often feel overloaded, get into the habit of taking time out and being alone for a while. You’ll feel rejuvenated in no time.

You’re A Genuine People Person

Highly sensitive people are natural caregivers. They are usually empathic, compassionate and understanding, and also good listeners. Being a genuine people person makes you ideal for a role as a therapist, healer or life coach. Any occupation that involves caring for others is perfect for you. Charismatic highly sensitive people are also people magnets.

Establishing boundaries that honour your sensitivities is essential and beneficial for you. If you are a highly sensitive soul it’s important that you also take good care of yourself. Make sure that you tune into your intuition, whenever you are in an environment where people are attracted to your positive high vibe. Your intuition will help you identify genuine people, from those who simply want access to your positivity.
