People can find fulfillment and wellbeing with the challenges of managing environmental sensitivity.  Practical tools, renewed perspective, acceptance, and self-empowered management can all help to achieve this.

Andrea Weber is founder of expansivehappiness.com, a site specifically designed to encourage, inspire and support those managing environmental sensitivities, while creating much needed public awareness around these conditions. Andrea has created an Environmental Sensitivity Quiz and a range of practical resources for environmental sensitivity management including the Self-empowered Sensitivity Management Program.

Quick Definition: Sensory overload is when our senses take in more information than our brain can keep up with processing.

In this episode:

We take in more data than the majority.  When our brain is overwhelmed by this input, it enters the fight/flight/freeze mode making us want to flee or fight or we might shut down. Once that is activated everything changes!

Imagine that happening every day and what impact that might have on our health! Sensory overload is really hard sometimes and this is just a portion of our experience.

My goal for this conversation with Sarah is that we open minds to the possibility that sometimes what’s been traditionally taught to us might not work for us and that we are free to explore what does! I want to normalize that doing things differently is OK! I want to normalize that doing things that work for us is a good thing!

As an HSP we have a series of natural abilities. Abilities that we sometimes overlook and assume that everyone has. Heightened levels of intuition, creativity, and empathy can be incredibly useful for a range of purposes. These gifts can help us to guide others, to facilitate situations and also give us important information. Sometimes we can take for granted the advantages these can give us and even gloss over how powerful they can be. In fact it is these abilities that makes us stand out, especially in terms of our own self recognition. Join us this week as we explore the intelligence these skills give us and how we can best use them for our own development and in order to be of the best service we can be for others.

Dr. Judith Orloff shares: 

"As a psychiatrist and an empath, I am fascinated by how the phenomenon of empathy works. I feel passionately that empathy is the medicine the world needs right now. Empathy will be the deciding factor between war and peace, between hatred and tolerance. We need to grow larger than our smaller selves and egos to be empathic in our lives. Empathy is the game-changer. It is the trait that will ultimately save the world.

I feel passionately that empathy is the medicine the world needs right now. Empathy will be the deciding factor between war and peace, between hatred and tolerance. Empathy is the game changer. It is the trait that will ultimately save the world.

There is a powerful connection between your emotions, intuition, and empathy. The magic comes when you learn how to tap into each of them to fully access your sensitivities without going on overload or becoming drained.

Join us for a generative discussion on how we can leverage the power of music in our everyday lives to help us feel, heal, and thrive. This special session will include an immersive sound bath meditation to experience the power of sound healing in practice.

As highly sensitive people, we feel the world more acutely than others. And yet, we live in a culture that fears emotion. Often, we deny, repress, and hide our emotions, feeling like there is something wrong with us when we experience anger, anxiety, frustration, insecurity, overwhelm, and more. Left unexpressed, our emotions can accumulate into dis-ease, physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. But the truth is, we must feel in order to heal. Music is a powerfully under-utilized resource to help us regulate and process our emotions so that we can increase our resilience for uncomfortable feelings and life stressors, release pent up and painful emotional energy, and ultimately calm our nervous systems to regain internal balance. Join us to experience it for yourself!

We want all HSP's to know that this powerful resource of music and sound healing can be used regularly to help them cultivate emotional resilience and nervous system regulation in their lives. AND that it can help us to tap more deeply into our superpowers for empathy, intuition, and creativity so that we can share our gifts more fully with the world.

Ada Ketchie and Nathan Getzin are alchemists of the human heart, helping people cultivate greater mindfulness, healing, and self-actualization through the ineffable power of music. As co-founders of Wakes they use their expertise as musicians, storytellers, yoga teachers, healers, and coaches to create experiences that offer radical transformation of mind, body and spirit. Their mission is to help people heal what hurts, grow thriving relationships, and awaken to true and lasting presence, purpose, and resilience. They do this by creating immersive sound healing experiences, meditations, intimate concerts, retreats, individual and group coaching, and providing online resources and support. https://wakes.life
