Comments, Thoughts & Ideas
Third
TeleGathering January 15, 2004
Following you will find a summary
of participants' comments, thoughts and ideas from
the January 2004 TeleGathering
for Highly Sensitive Souls. These comments
were made in response to the inquiry: "How
has your sensitivity been of powerful service to yourself
or others?"
We had a beautiful, intimate connection of about
10 Sensitive Souls on the call at this TeleGathering. It was a
moment I suspect many of us will remember.
Our discussion covered a wide range of topics. A common theme
that emerged was our ability to connect deeply with and support
others in times of major transitions. In particular, we spoke about
the ability we have to connect with the spiritual realm and the
dying – and what a powerful experience that can be.
Others talked about the power of our emotional support and deep
understanding of others. We also celebrated educating others about
sensitivity through our words and thoughtful connections.
Other Thoughts
We have been of powerful service to ourselves or others through/by:
Sharing our wisdom and knowledge.
Spreading the word about high sensitivity and clueing in others
who may be Highly Sensitive – “I can spot them
a mile away!”
Supporting the dying and ill.
Creating beauty and sacred space.
Having high self-awareness.
Our depth of understanding.
Our ability to tune in – others ask us, “How did
you know that?”
Creating a deep space of listening
and support.
Our capacity for intimacy.
Sharing through language, especially for extroverted
HSPs with the “gift of gab.”
Being models for emotional authenticity.
Our ability to see beauty in pain and struggle – our
willingness to keep going forward.
Our deep connections to animals and people (and
some mentioned having to harden our hearts or
turn away
to cope with our
sensitive response).
Creating tremendously healthy workplaces of respect
and clarity, particularly when in management
roles.
Our gift for asking the questions.
Being guides and way-showers.
“ Listening with a different ear, seeing with a different eye, and
feeling with different feelings!”
Generating light in the world – we are the fireflies!
