One thing I’ve gone back and forth with as a sensitive being is: Allowance.  The world says it’s rude to leave out difficult emotions and negativity, but something else within also says not to entertain the nonsense.  What does all this mean?  How do I discern in every moment what to allow emotionally, and what to exclude?

My findings as of recently, is understanding where resistance, density and negativity are coming from.  If I am experiencing pain and difficulty internally, it is MOST Loving to allow those internal experiences and actively send Love to myself as these things are “acting out.”  An interesting tidbit that I’ve noticed is that the more I’ve been committing to Loving myself, my awareness goes to Love which means that all of my energy is focused away from energy that isn’t serving me.  And that’s when all the “entities” and “demons” arise because they recognize that I’ve stopped feeding them.   I continue to feed myself Love as these emotions, physical pains, and circumstantial breakaways come about.  It’s interesting how people can become upset when you demonstrate that you’re in a committed relationship with actively Loving Yourself.

If someone is coming to me externally with their Internal disturbances, this is where I draw a boundary.  There is a real difference between SUPPORT and Emotional Offloading/Transference.  When an individual is not dealing with their internal emotional experiences and chooses to project and expel them externally whether in general or towards others, it is MOST Loving to ME to refuse these advances towards my energetic field.

TLDR:. For Highly Sensitive People, practice loving kindness towards your own internal emotional experiences. Do NOT entertain the emotional projections and transference of others who are not placing their Awareness on their own internal emotional experiences.

It’s easy to discern when people aren’t doing their emotional work.  They get offended when you express and communicate a Loving boundary for yourself. Remember this: “People who matter, don’t mind. And people who MIND, don’t matter.”

As humans, we are an interdependent species. We progress as a collective in collaboration with each other. We built to connect with each other. We can never be fully devoid of others' perceptions or their beliefs. For, these qualities can many times also encourage us to improve our sense of being.

Others' perceptions can prove harmful to us when we use these standards to belittle or doubt ourselves. It is also harmful when we compare our chapter 10 to someone else's 40th. All of us exist in intricately distinct contexts. All of us have our headstarts in different aspects. Similarly, we all have our setbacks in other aspects. It is unfair to compare others' lives with ours as there are infinite factors that make them uniquely theirs, and others that make our lives uniquely our own.

We can only refer to our progress with the person we were yesterday. We progress when we embody the aspects that inspire us, and those we admire in others.

As we evolve through life, we can sometimes be held back by our beliefs. These beliefs are not necessarily our own. These qualities have been unconsciously embodied through the years. Factors such as primary conditioning, cultural and collective beliefs, and the safety of our nervous systems play a part in forming these behaviours as habitual.

Despite all of the external talks, some aspects can be deemed true for us, more than others. The idea of creating this life feels exciting and brings us alive. We understand the efforts required for it, but there's no two way about it. We need to stand our ground to follow these visions, for it is our creative purpose.

 Being on mission and living in community has really shown me that 1) I love praying together - especially the liturgy of the hours punctuating our day and 2) it is not as impossible as I thought to live with others. I think the years of living with my very loud younger sisters and the year that I was able to live with other girls at the Opus Dei dormitory for female students in my town has really prepared me for this mission. There are some times when conflict resolution may seem extremely impossible and reading the situation is even more difficult but as the summer progressed it became easier and easier.

There have also been many blessings that came from giving of myself as a catechism teacher and camp counselor. Closeness with God was one. Another was finding peace in where the Lord had placed me and where he wants to take me.

28 Days of Love: Clearing the Mind

Greetings beloveds, Sometimes we just need to take a mental break. We are constantly being bombarded with information from everywhere as energy is constantly moving and aligning with us. As such our sensory organs (eyes, nose, skin, mouth, ears) are taking it all in and it’s up to our brain to sort through it all. In the end, it’s our brain that ends up doing the brunt of the work. It’s kind of…
