Sensitivites

Quote of the day...

"Be careful with me, I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way.
We are everyday Angels. Be careful with me, I'd like to stay that way." - Jewel

Being sensitive DOESN'T mean you are weak but, rather, the opposite. It takes courage to allow our sensitivities. Socially, in family situations, work situations, in our relationships & with how we relate to everyone (and every thing), all. These require strength. If we maintain our ideal in being sensitive to all (including our Selves on every level) we find challenges. It's not always easy to allow ourselves this Grace. But what do we find when we actually manage it? Truth. Our Truth. Who we really are. And who we really are has so much value, so much to cherish & celebrate. Here is more truth... the more we allow ourselves to experience our sensitivities (PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM!) and the sensitivities of others, the more we become spiritually and healthfully aware & spiritually and healthfully strong. So let us give ourselves hugs everytime we realize that we have been sensitive. Celebrate that moment... and all the moments... as our way of accepting that we are pieces of the Highest Positive Power. When we do this, what honour we pay ourselves! So...

Homework...

Let us think of the ways that we have been sensitive, of late. How have we felt about each of those instances? How have our bodies reacted? How have others around us reacted? Then, let us decide for ourselves if our sensitivities have had value as we see it. Let us decide for ourselves if being sensitive can actually take us further in our lives and along our spiritual path. According to OUR OWN individual ideals about who we really want to be in this world and how we really want others to see us and treat us, in what ways can our personal sensitivities help us to achieve those ideals. (When we come to the end of our lives and look back, in what methods of sensitivity do we want to see that we experienced and expressed?)Let us practice, as best we can at this current level of our development, Personal Responsibility. Let us act in our own truth. No hurt, no sin. There is no wrong answer nor wrong method of action. Let us be sensitive to our truth and feel comfort, strength and wisdom in who we are and what we want for ourselves. Blessings & Light!
