I realize that may of us, myself included, have a heightened sensitivity to our environment. What that means, as a highly sensitive person, your nervous system picks up a lot more information than the average person about what’s happening around you.

This phenomenon isn’t something that’s readily addressed in our culture and only recently in science. Often we don’t realize how different our highly sensitive experiences actually are because we don’t have a standard with which to compare them against.
Being sensitive, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by emotions or energy that isn’t your own and this can cause problems. Often it’s just easier to shut down because you don’t know how to process the information…

It is important to become aware of your unique situation, so you can learn to manage it effectively. An essential part of this is learning about the human energy field or aura, the subtle bodies, chakras, and other elements of our physical bodies, sensations, and energetic nature.

The human aura has appeared in pictures and paintings in a multitude of cultures throughout history. Often, it is depicted as a radiant light around the head, or emanating around the body. This electromagnetic field is the first line of defense so-to-speak when encountering external influences and energies. It is through this field that all the energies of the environment, electrical device energies, radio frequencies, and human interactions, pass through and affect us. Our aura contains our subtle energy bodies and has different colors that change depending on our spiritual, physical, and mental states. A lot of information about our environment and ourselves flow in and out of our aura.

It’s important to learn about the aura, the subtle bodies and other energy channels as well as understanding how your environment affects your health and well-being.

I will expand on the aura and subtle bodies in following updates.

When you have a deeper sense of who you really are and your sensitivities, then you can learn to make choices, which are most appropriate and even healing for you.
