What would you do as a very sensitive being on earth?

[IndigoSalvia]

I can relate entirely, as I have been sensitive to all stimuli my whole life. 

In an emotional sense, I am sensitive to others energies, to their emotions and to my own. I feel pure emotions quite deeply, as they have been guiding me through my life for as long as I could remember. I am moved to tears from the simplest of things, as I feel everything quite deeply. I am very intuitive and empathic and sometimes feel others feelings as my own so deeply I can get confused as to what are my feelings and what feelings are coming from another.

I was overwhelmed by absolutely everything growing up and in to my adult life. Loud noises and sounds were too much for me, and still are as I have been sleeping with ear plugs since 2012. Being around a lot of people for a long period of time can be extremely draining and overwhelming. I feel physically exhausted, and experience chronic pain to the sensitivity my soul has to the Earth's frequencies.

I have difficulty with the smell of perfumes, soaps, and most chemicals, as I am allergic to most things to some degree. 

If there is a way to experience extreme sensitivity, I have done so. I suffered from crippling anxiety and depression for years because of how I absorbed all the energy around me from everyone's emotions and had not yet learned how to control this overwhelming amount of emotions I felt on a daily basis. 

Saying this, I'd like to add that it gets easier as you start to understand why it's happening to you, why you feel these sensitivities on such an extreme level. With acceptance, the path ahead gets clearer, and you find forgiveness and understanding for the gifts you were given that never felt like gifts to you until you understood why they were happening. In this acceptance comes love, for yourself and for other selves, who are struggling to find their way along the same path.

Q'uo - December 25, 2010

My sister, there are many reasons that an entity may be sensitive. However, in the majority of cases where there is an overriding sensitivity of the physical body on the level of an entity of the healing persuasion saying to you at one time or another that perhaps you are allergic to the planet, in such cases it is chosen to have a super-sensitive physical vehicle in order that the energy body might stay at a tuning which is not convenient for those of the normal sensitivities upon third-density planets such as Earth. This instrument, for instance, is often known to say that she feels that the hypersensitive physical vehicle that she has is connected with her ability to channel.

If you will think of wiring and how wiring works, you can see that a wiring that would be especially effective in inner planes or time/space work such as healing, teaching or channeling, the ability to clear the, shall we say, miasma of heavy planetary energies, would enable such an instrument to have a more clarified and accurate contact with conceptual communication which would offer the possibility of bringing through information that may be helpful to spiritual seekers. That is this instrument’s rationale and, as she would say, “her story.” You may try that on to see how well it fits your situation.

In general, a hypersensitive physical vehicle tends to be evidence of a person’s coming from elsewhere, so that this planet is not the planet of origin. This planet is not the vibration or the frequency which has been experienced as an ongoing state, but rather there has been experience in other densities, in other environments that are more comfortably accommodating of the sensitivities involved in an entity’s energy body, so that such an entity can know that he or she has made a significant sacrifice and has chosen willingly and in full knowledge ahead of time to enter into the miasma of what this instrument would call “the world of Maya,” the earth atmosphere, the heavy chemical atmosphere of Planet Earth, in order to serve the infinite Creator by serving others.

Now, we are not suggesting that everyone who has a hypersensitive vehicle is destined to be or should be a channel, a healer, or a teacher. Many wanderers have chosen to come to the earth plane at this time simply to hold the light; that is to say, not necessarily to hold the light but to hold a place where the Creator’s light may shine through.

Yes, it took me quite some time to recognize, explore and finally get to a place of working with my 'sensitivities'. 

Diana brought up an interesting point about shielding and this subtle balancing that we may do between exposure and sanctuary, so to speak, balancing putting ourselves out there and stepping back. 

How do you shield yourselves? Or work with balancing, getting to the sweet spot ... not too much, not too little, but just right? 

If I'm in a big crowd, I'll escape to a quiet spot for some grounding and breathing, and just take a break from all of the energies, emotions, cross-talk, etc. I also talk with myself in my head, grounding myself back on love and light. 

I try to listen to my MBS and when it starts getting overwhelmed or drained or off-balance, that's my clue to take a little space and process, restore stability. 

Interesting quote from Quo, btw. 

This discussion has me wondering: how have you learned to "step into" this 'sensitivity gift' to help ... to "use" it as the gift that it is? clumsy wording but hope it makes sense.
