Feeling Sensitive and Being Sensitive have such opposing meanings. This morning, I found myself not coping very well with a number of chores I was trying to accomplish within a time frame. On top of this feeling of overwhelm, I was not taking very kindly to the help I was being offered! I had to catch myself, understanding suddenly that I was feeling very sensitive. I felt that I was showing my incompetence by not being at ease and taking the work load in my stride.
In the afternoon, whilst attending a workshop, the topic of Being Sensitive came up. I was struck by the coincidence or should I say synchronicity. As more was said, I could not help but smile. The context being discussed was different from How I had been feeling in the morning.
Be sensitive to yourself, your surroundings, and your needs. Be kind to yourself. Be tolerant and sensitive to your own feelings. Listening to these words made me relax into myself, feeling that I am okay. I felt at peace and at ease.
It is incredible how the same words used in differing context brings about an energetic change. The feeling of vulnerability in the morning was a complete contrast to the vibration of kindness and compassion to oneself. In a physiological sense, the morning’s feeling sensitive, created a stressed response of fight, flight or freeze. The afternoon’s being sensitive brought on a relaxed state of repair and regeneration for the body.
