From Hypersensitivity To High Sensitivity By Gerrit

Becoming the angel that you are
Many
people are hypersensitive. They cannot stand the noise, aggression and hasty pace of modern society. Often they suffer from
psychosomatic disorders and insomnia. What other folks take for granted, for example going to a family party, is quite a chore
for them. Simply doing what other people consider normal often turns out a disaster for them.
As a child they are often
misunderstood and under-appreciated. Because it’s hard for them to stand up for themselves and because they easily dream
away, school time is tough. Building a career and becoming successful according to society’s standards often doesn’t
work for them. They more or less muddle along at the fringes of society. Participating in mainstream activities is experienced
as exhausting and draining. Because of all this, their self image isn’t very positive; they often feel insecure and
inferior. Their thoughts are gloomy and may repeat themselves endlessly.
Of course, this image is somewhat of a caricature.
Yet many people will (partly) recognize themselves in it. Let us now focus on some of the positive traits of hypersensitive
people. They appreciate peace and quiet and long to live in harmony with their fellow humans. They are sensitive to beauty,
especially the beauty of nature. They are very empathic and open to the spiritual. They have a rich imagination. To their
own surprise, people who are in trouble are naturally drawn to them and come to them for guidance.
What is the matter
with these people? The answer is that they are not (just) hypersensitive, they are highly sensitive. In fact, they are angels
in disguise.
What is high sensitivity?
Every living being emits a certain vibration or aura: flowers, the sun, people,
animals, plants, and also human society at large. You are highly sensitive when your vibration, your aura is more refined
and delicate than the vibration of human society.
Imagine a radiant, beautiful angel descending from heaven to be born
in a human body in a modern metropolis. The angel has a hard time coping with the noise, the chaos and the ugliness of the
world around. Where is the serenity and beauty of nature, where are the flowers? Where is the deep inner knowing, the sense
of unity with the cosmos? The angel feels shattered and alienated. The world around does not nurture or acknowledge him (or
her*). The angel starts to think that there’s something wrong with him and he becomes sad and depressed. As he does
not feel at home here, he withdraws and vaguely longs for another reality. The people around him consider him to be a dreamer
who does not want to face the facts of life. The angel’s light diminishes. Whereas he was a high sensitive at first,
he has now become a hypersensitive.
You may wonder why this angel incarnated on Earth.
Many angels are incarnate
on Earth and every angel has their own motive to be here. There is however one general motive: to help Earth. Through the
presence of all of these angels, human society as a whole gains in light and sensitivity. The angelic presence raises the
vibration of the world. This happens especially when the angels remember who they are and when their self-confidence is restored.
That’s when their light will truly shine.
Now imagine that you are such an angel.
What can you do to become
radiant again, to transform your hypersensitivity into high sensitivity?
Step 1 – Realize that you are an angel
Realize
that you are an angel and don’t be afraid to show it. Believe in your own light, your creative abilities and overcome
your fear to show yourself. This is the first step.
How do you do this? It’s important to connect to the spiritual.
See the world from a spiritual perspective, remember the timeless realm of love and beauty that you originate from and to
which you belong. You have always been in touch with this subtle, ethereal reality. Now take another leap and really believe
it to be there. The moment you connect with it, you also get in touch with your own inner core and start to realize who you
really are. You remember that your consciousness is eternal and that it is a magnificent source of light and creativity.
The
moment you feel a part of this other realm, which is your true home, the judgment that human society places on you becomes
much less of a burden to you. You realize that your stay here is only temporary and that this hectic, chaotic society will
disappear one day and make place for a more peaceful, harmonious and happy society. What this current society thinks of you
and expects from you is not so important anymore. More important is what you are here to do, how you are going to manifest
your light in this world.
By sensing your true origin, you kindle your own light. Light is creative and transformative.
You will notice that your environment will start to respond to you differently. Life will flow more easily and people will
take you more seriously. You have taken a fundamental first step in the transition from hypersensitivity to high sensitivity.
Step
2 – Become aware of your male energy
You are able to truly give your light to others only if you are also able
to not give it. If you cannot say ‘no’ to people, your ‘yes’ has no meaning. Learning to set boundaries
and to stand up for yourself is crucial. If you don’t do this, your energy flows into a bottomless pit and you will
permanently feel weak and drained.
To prevent this from happening, you need to get in touch with your male energy.
Many people who are inclined towards the spiritual, have a negative image of the male energy. It is associated with violence,
oppression and aggression and considered to be not spiritual. As a result of this negative attitude towards the male energy,
many spiritually inclined and hypersensitive people feel disempowered and unable to stand up for themselves.
The solution
is to understand that there’s nothing wrong with the male energy per se; it is the imbalance between the male and the
female which causes the problem. By regarding the male energy to be inferior, many people weaken their own strength. This
happens particularly in sensitive women. Especially when you go through a process of spiritual growth, it is of prime importance
to connect with your male energy.
As soon as you take step 1 and become more aware of who you really are, you will
distinguish yourself energetically from your environment. Your light will be noticed. This will attract to you what I call
energy leeches. These are people or other entities, for instance the organization you work in, who will feed themselves with
your energy. They deprive you of energy without giving something back to you. If you’re not able to protect yourself
in such an environment, you get stuck.
At this point, you need to use your male strength. Embrace the male part of
you, your inner man, and trust him. Let him take the shape of a sword in your hand which severs the bonds between you and
everything that deprives you of energy.
A common pitfall in using the sword of your male energy proficiently is the
notion of equality. “We are all equal and therefore I should not distinguish myself from others, and share what I have
with them.” The idea of equality is right to some extent. At the level of the soul we are equal. At the level of manifestation
however we are not. Some people are more able to let their inner light shine through than others. By not acknowledging this,
we give energy leeches free range. Especially people who radiate much light and who have much to give, should protect themselves.
Be aware of who or what you give your energy to. Not everyone is ready to receive what you have to offer. Do not let your
most precious gift be dragged down by people or organizations who do not match your vibration. Use your male energy for this
purpose.
Step 3 – Realize that mother Earth is your friend
Many hypersensitive people feel resistance towards
living on Earth. This resistance is partly due to the fact that they do not feel at home in modern western society. The energy
of society does not match their own and they feel alienated by it. They want to leave; they subconsciously remember their
spiritual heritage and long to be ‘home’ again. They want to go back to the peace and harmony of the heavenly
realms, which contrast so sharply with the noise, fear, aggression and anonymity of present day human society.
Apart
from this reason for feeling resistance towards living on Earth, sensitive people also have intuitions about what happened
in their past lives on Earth. Often they carry memories within of war, persecution and other forms of aggression. They remember
trying to be and do good on Earth and being violently rejected for it.
To overcome your resistance to being here, it’s
important to distinguish between the energy of human society and the energy of Earth itself. To do so, find a beautiful spot
in nature. Go there on a weekday when it’s quiet. Feel the energy there, the serenity and peace. Open your heart to
this place in nature and feel all the energies present there. Apart from you there are nature spirits such as fairies and
leprechauns, who work closely together with Earth. Now feel Earth itself. This is the Earth you came for, the Earth who reaches
out to you and who wishes to support you. Open your heart to her energy and love.
By entering into this connection
with Earth, you are able to truly take your place and shine your light in this world. You are able to change the world and
make it more beautiful. There’s a place for you on Earth where you feel at home. This place will become a beacon of
light that transforms the world around you.
Hypersensitive people hide for the world. Highly sensitive people radiate
their light freely into it.
Step 4 – Use your female energy to become even more sensitive
Your female energy
can make the difference between fearing someone and loving someone. It enables you to look behind the mask that someone’s
putting on and see their vulnerability. In our hearts we are all good. God is in everyone’s heart. You can use the female
energy within to become even more sensitive, to use your empathy to really understand what it’s like to be in the other
person’s shoes. Understanding the other from within can help you put into perspective their hurtful remarks or offensive
behavior. It may help you let go of it.
This becomes possible when the male energy inside is strong enough to protect
your female side. When we are hurt by what another person says to us, we are often not hurt by the words themselves, but by
our own oversensitive interpretation of those words. Often people are not out to get us, it’s more that they blurt out
something which isn’t aimed at you personally. Your male energy can help you to not take things personally. Your female
energy helps you feel what is really going on in the other person. By using the female gift of sensitivity, we now see a lot
of lights in this dark world around us. Becoming even more sensitive, we take a step towards the heart of our fellow humans,
which is often warmer and brighter than we thought. By noticing the light in the heart of the other, this light will burn
stronger.
Becoming even more sensitive works in two directions: not only do you get a deeper sense of who the other
person is, they also get to know you better. They feel something sensitive, warm and beautiful in you that they had not noticed
before; by acknowledging the other person, they acknowledge you. This is how you start to feel at home on Earth.
To be
an angel is to be balanced
Every human being gives and receives. To stay spiritually and physically healthy, we need
to be in equilibrium with our environment. The flow of giving and the flow of receiving need to be balanced. The moment we
radiate more of our light, make the transition from hypersensitivity to high sensitivity and become the angel that we are,
the flow of giving increases. We exude a creative and beautiful light and share it with our environment, often without knowing
it. The energy we put out into the world wants to come back to us in the form of (physical) abundance.
This causes
problems in many sensitives. Hypersensitive people often do not believe that life can be beautiful, rich and abundant for
hem. They feel it would not be right, that they are not worth it and so they block the flow of receiving that wants to come
to them. Religious traditions which teach you that it’s better to give than to receive, or that it is sinful to enjoy
yourself, support this line of thought. Fear and doubt keep out the natural abundance that wants to come your way.
Be
attentive of this. Check for yourself if you are really open to what the universe would like to give to you, to all the love
that is there for you. As long as you do not say ‘yes’ to what the universe wants to send your way, you have not
truly said ‘yes’ to yourself. Say a loud and loving yes to yourself, to all of you. Accepting the flow of receiving
in your life will then become natural for you.
