Soul of Sensitivity

This is a simple recording I made playing my singing bowls, looped to create 90 minutes of sound for you. Enjoy!

All good things must come to an end, and episode 50 is the final episode of the podcast! Thank you to all who made this possible and who supported my work in this endeavor - I am forever grateful to you! In this episode, I talk a bit about what to expect from my work moving forward, what my maternity leave looks like, and then I move into talking about my new book that launched today! The book is called "Embracing High Sensitivity: Your HSP Guidebook to Eliminating Overwhelm, Handling Difficult Emotions, and Becoming the Boss of Your Life." It's on my website (link below) and available in all major ereader formats. It's a perfect gift for the hsp in your life! To finish off this episode, I read to you the introduction from the book, giving you the lens through which the book was written and leaving you with my deepest beliefs about high sensitivity and our place as hsps in this world. I hope you enjoy it (and I hope you buy the book, too! I wrote it for you!) One more thing - there is one last recording in this podcast, which is a simple gift to you--a sound healing. There is no guided meditation, it's just me playing my singing bowls for you to listen to when you need the ambiance to calm your nervous system. Enjoy!

Sarah and I take on the very real and important subject of how to thrive as a highly sensitive person in a world that is collapsed. How do we find capacity? How do we become resilient? How do we function with so much pain in the world? Guiding us through her own story of chronic illness, her experiences helping others through death, and being sensitive when collapse is all around, Sarah has a powerful perspective on the need for high sensitivity in the world right now. Sarah H Nicotra is a professional coach (ICF and HeartMath certified), modern day völva, and spiritual care provider with 1000+ hours clinical spiritual care experience. Sarah helps sensitive people people face the power of paradox to become more rooted, resilient, and magical in times of unprecedented collapse, disintegration, and turmoil. This was - hands down - one of the most empowering conversations I've walked away from in months. I hope you enjoy it!

Today we dig into the connections between emotions, the psyche, sleep and behavior in babies and toddlers AND adults. Eliza Parker, the woman behind ConsiousBaby.com, shares her expertise on how sleep for little ones is connected to everything else, and how we (as highly sensitive parents) can learn to recognize the innate abilities of babies and toddlers for coping with birth, trauma, experiences, feelings and stimulation. This conversation is not just for parents (but it WILL inform the the highly sensitive parent or the parent of a highly sensitive child). While speaking with Eliza, I noticed so many "ah-ha's" for myself! Sleep, self-regulation and our ability to cope with life experiences are tools that all highly sensitive people need. In many ways, this conversation piggy-back's off the last two episodes with Sukie Baxter and our chats about how the nervous system, emotions and cultural expectations are all related.

In Part 2, we jump back in exactly where we left off and lead with the positivity movement being akin to trying to manage the ecology of our emotions. But our body is a wild thing, so who does this serve? We also discuss: - How the positivity movement serves a post industrial culture, capitalism and external validation - Learning to be present and internally validated is an act of rebellion against oppressive systems - Spiritual bypassing: what it is, why it's dangerous, and why it's counterproductive to the spiritual movement - The idea of the positivity movement that all your problems are 100% your responsibility and how that leaves out our circumstances, which are real - Gratitude journalling and how it's become bastardized - What we can do to heal and move forward out of the dangerous positivity movement - Get present - Find sensation - Intuition is in the body, not outside of it - Emotional triggers and how biology doesn't understand time - Using Time-In Corners with kids and adults - Somatic experiencing and why it's helpful with emotional trauma - Your body is a wild animal - This is a process, not an event Resources from this episode: - Antonio Damasio -- The Strange Order of Things: https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Order-Things-Feeling-Cultures/dp/0307908755/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+strange+order+of+things&qid=1562344352&s=gateway&sr=8-1 - Guy Claxtion -- Intelligence in the Flesh: https://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Flesh-Your-Needs-Thinks/dp/0300223471/ref=sr_1_1?crid=J4ZS3R3Y9F7A&keywords=intelligence+in+the+flesh&qid=1562344399&s=gateway&sprefix=intelligencein+%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1 - Somatic Experiencing, http://somaticexperiencing.com/ - "Healing Through the Dark Emotions" by Miriam Greenspan, https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Through-Dark-Emotions-Despair/dp/1590301013 - Heather Plett and Holding Space, https://heatherplett.com/ - Time-In Corner, https://genmindful.com/products/time-in-toolkit Learn more about Sukie Baxter at www.wholebodyrevolution.com Work with me or learn more at www.sensitivityuncensored.com Support this podcast at patreon.com/sensitivityuncensored

Posture and movement therapist and friend Sukie Baxter is here with me to have a conversation about positivity - the good, but mostly the bad, ugly and dangerous. Seriously, people - this movement is an epidemic and works against our actual biology. Here's what we cover in Part 1: - What is the positivity movement and positivity washing? - Where the movements show up - in the wellness, fitness, spirituality and coaching communities - How we miss out on connection if we only allow "good emotions," since connection is built on "going through" something - Using biology to explain the ridiculousness of "good" vs "bad" processes or emotions - The danger of intellectualizing wisdom traditions - Using horse training and parenting as examples of how nervous systems get shut down, and how we can build resiliency instead - Our emotion phobic culture - Repressed emotional trauma - Identified patient and highly sensitive people - The relationship behind the positivity movement to colonialism - Colonialism and how we think we're right about everything, including nature Resources from this episode: - Kelly Diels, http://www.kellydiels.com/ - Horse trainer Warwick Schiller - https://www.warwickschiller.com/ - Christine Kent and her book, "Saving the Whole Woman" - http://www.savingthewholewoman.com/ - Brene Brown, https://brenebrown.com/ Learn more about Sukie Baxter at www.wholebodyrevolution.com Support this podcast at www.patreon.com/sensitivityuncensored Book a session with me or learn more at www.sensitivityuncensored.com

Today, she shares with us the breakthrough practices that have created (and continue to create) real change and intention in her life.

I've been down in the depths of another spiritual awakening. Some call it an initiation, I call it fun, confusing, magical. So many things are changing in my inner world that my outer world - what I say and how I show up - has yet to catch up. Thus, no episode last full moon. My apologies. The spiritual work speaks through signs and synchronicities. These are its messages, the bread crumbs we follow deeper into our soul. We must learn to track these, trust these, follow these so that we can learn more, and go deeper, and find ourselves over and over again. I cover how to do this as gracefully as possible, how to avoid pitfalls of following false signs and looking for magic where there is none. You can join me and the rest of the rebels as we track our magical signs in the Refuge this month. It's free.

Do the tales of Odin, Freya and Loki enchant you? Did you - like me - feel a sense of recognition when you read "The Mists of Avalon?" Then listen up - Episode 41 is here, and as we enter this mercury retrograde and new moon in Pisces, I'm speaking with Jeremy White on the shamanism and mysticism of the North, his ties and stewardship to Avalon and the magic of Avalon, and his work with the runes. Jeremy tells us how he came to the runes, how the path of the shaman chose him, and how he currently works within his craft to further his spiritual development and help others along the way.

Today's episode is a shorter update. I cover the Virgo full moon energy and what's available to us now, how to ritualize and make sacred this part of the lunar cycle, and how to work with the ever changing lunar energy. I'm using Patreon differently, and this is your change to figure out how you can be part of an experiment that challenges capitalistic structures and seeks to take care of each other as members of the highly sensitive community. Listen in to find out how this new system works. SO much is happening in the Refuge, my free membership group, including a FREE course called Intuition Lives that will be all about what intuition is (and what it's not), how to access it, and games to play to strengthen your inherent intuitive gifts. Want to play? Sign up for the Refuge: https://the-refuge-for-sacred-rebellion.mn.co/feed Then, we talk about the importance of destruction as a means for transformation. Highly sensitive people are geared toward fixing and healing - which are great skills - but not always the right one for all situations. How do we learn to embrace destruction (hint: we'll connect to how Mama Earth does it) so we can transform and manifest more clearly?

Today, Jen Vertanen, host of the Going There podcast, go deep into our personal struggles and stories with depression and anxiety. The goal of our conversation today isn't to talk clinically about these conditions, but rather to help normalize them by sharing our experiences. Trigger warning: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. We dig deep into how depression has affected our lives, the low points in our journey, and the tools we learned to dig out. And because Jen is more of an optimist than I, we also talk about the silver linings - what have we learned or what do we keep learning from these struggles? In the introduction, I talk about the new moon on Monday, February 3rd, as well as the holiday Imbolc that has just passed. I offer a bit of guidance on this new moon time and offer an oracle card reading to help you in this next cycle. Follow her work at jenvertanen.com, and join the conversation on Instagram @goingtherewithjen. Listen to her podcast at jenvertanen.com/podcast.

This full moon, I take on the ins and outs of grounding - what it is, what it's not, and why it's important. I cover the physical, psychological and spiritual benefits of grounding, what it provides and what it requires, and why it's dangerous to be an ungrounded healer. I cover why grounding is the number one tool for highly sensitive people, and how we can use it to reduce overwhelm, get nourished and feel supported. I talk about a new product I'm offering - a medicated herbal body oil called "Belonging," which you can use as a self-massage oil. Applied with loving intentions to your body, it helps calm your nervous system and call yourself home. Get it at www.sensitivityuncensored.com/#boutique I also mention that there's a free grounding meditation available to you at Patreon this week only - after that, it's pay to play.

In this Season Two finale, I break down the energies of demand and perfection and how not to get side-swiped by them this holiday season. I move on to talking about why white lights of protection don't work (plus what does), how I'm celebrating the holidays, and simple rituals you can incorporate to make this winter solstice special. I also talk about how the podcast is changing in the new year - including push dates that fall on the new and full moons, all part of my goals to connect more deeply to natural rhythms and ancient earth wisdom.

Desiree Cervantes is a shaman, intuitive healer, and witch - today - but she may shapeshift her title tomorrow as she grows and evolves. Join Desiree and I as we dig into conversations around intuition, how we use our gifts, and how fucking difficult it is to figure out what to name ourselves. Desiree offers a fresh perspective on creating labels through her concept of shapeshifting magic. We talk about how permission sets us free, how it's necessary to try on titles just like we try on clothes, how to navigate a spiritual life without direct connection to our ancestral ties. We finish by speaking about the intersection of the sacred with the profane, and the magic of profanity in creating shifts.

What if there was a reason behind how you were made and innately wired? What if everything that you are served a spiritual purpose? Today, evolutionary astrologer Dena Decastro and I explore those questions as we look at life through the lens of evolutionary astrology. Evolutionary astrology takes the view point that everything in your chart is divinely inspired and created to help you grow and achieve as a spirit. Knowing our birth chart can help us understand not only who we are, but why we are. Using yearly charts and learning key professions can help us understand what energies are available to us, what paths we have in front of us, and how to make the most out of any life challenge. Dena has been working in this field for nearly 20 years and has a wealth of information to share with us. I absolutely loved this conversation AND the reading I had with her three weeks before. Take a listen to hear about my South and North nodes and get a peek at my life purpose!

Today, Audrey Holst and I talk all things burnout - what it is, what it feels like, and why it happens. We talk about the cultural energies behind why we get in these situations in the first place (because nothing happens in a vacuum) and the simple techniques to get you living life differently. And then, we go deeper. Cuz that's what we do here.

I'm carrying on from last week's "hot mess" episode to discuss some recent fuckery I was told about depression, so listen as I get up on my soap box and tell you to stop listening to spiritual assholes who want to bypass the reality of mental illness. Whew. I also dive into my most recent healing experiences and dish about details - visitations from other realms, speaking light language (and at the same time thinking what the F is coming out of my mouth), and learning that I'm (read: we're) more spiritually supported than I ever thought. Oh, and bonus at the end - a mini song from me and my singing bowls to you. If you're a Patreon supporter, you can grab one of three $50 hour-long sound healing sessions. For realsies.

Sometimes, I'm a hot mess. This summer was rough. I had a panic attack, left my husband, suffered through severe anxiety, then into a dark depression (or what my therapist so kindly calls "nervous system collapse). I was not okay. And sometimes it's okay to not be okay. Even when you're a healer. Even when you're a business owner. So I'm getting real today to share with you my story of my ouchie bits. I talk about finding your inner voice, then losing it and what happened when I got desperate. Then finding it again, and coming back to center. And how I'm trusting my inner voice, even when my mind is saying something else.

When her intuition told her to get to the emergency room, Shanda Catrice listened. Two days and two surgeries later, doctors didn't know how she was still alive. Looking around the hospital room, Shanda didn't know either - but she did know she was alone. Shanda tells her story of being at her lowest and having no one show up for her. Digging inward, Shanda is lead to learn about attachment theory, how her attachment style lead her to this place and, through ceremony with plant medicine, what Spirit requires of her in order to heal.

Today I'm taking over my own podcast - and breaking from the theme of season two - to talk about something super important: how we, as highly sensitive people, need more time in transitions. Our brains and nervous systems work differently than your average Joe, and these differences tend to show up with force in life transitions (the big and the small). Follow along as I walk you through the brain science of a highly sensitive person in transition so you can understand why you often feel so goddamned frustrated, rushed and overwhelmed. AND - of course - what you can do differently. Thanks to my Patrons for supporting this show! Want to pledge your support?

Casey is a highly sensitive, intuitive, empathic, feminist, psychic male. We dig into the implications of these identities, including how our culture limits men's ability to embrace their highly sensitive characteristics. Casey walks us through his awakening to his lunar or feminine side, which has been a decade-long discovery. Casey talks about how he loves the dichotomy of doing construction work and healing work, and how he uses his intuition to help him in both worlds. Casey and I dig into the meta-questions surrounding how to make this world more equitable and just among the genders, and - surprise - don't always agree with each other. Listen in as we have a heartfelt and compassionate conversation about these difficult issues.

Your body is wise. It has intricate systems for processing information, including holding that information inside its cells. Sarah and I talk about the fascia - our body's connective tissue - and how it holds us together, both physically and emotionally. Sarah is a physical therapist and John F. Barnes myofascial release practitioner who believes that we can find freedom and resiliency in our lives by listening deeply and responding to the wisdom of the body. In this conversation, we talk about: -How trauma is stored in the body -How fascia is the web that holds us together and what happens when it gets sticky -How highly sensitive people are prone to fascial restrictions and what we can do about them -How myofascial release helps the body restore balance naturally, without force -What the pelvic floor is really all about and why we need to rethink Kegel exercises -How our cultural and social norms create pressure that has a physical effect on the body, and how we can heal (and be a rebellion while we're at it).

Slade Roberson is a professional intuitive, author, and host of the podcast Shift Your Spirits, where he does a great job speaking about spirituality with fewer hearts and flowers than most New Age blather. We sat down to talk about how he works as a clairaudient and claircognizant intuitive and mentor. Slade and I talk about how difficult it can be to narrow down your craft - and how critical it is to do so. "Do one thing really well," Slade says. "Like, if you could only make a grilled cheese sandwich, then make it really good!" We talk more deeply about how to figure out what work is yours to do and what is simply not your grilled cheese to make. Slade tells us about his professional mentorship program for emerging intuitives, called Automatic Intuition. He offers a free way to start the program for free, which you can find with the links below. Slade and I talk about how our different health crisis lead to finding our true calling in the world, and how mundane things like good nutrition, Crossfit and sleep keep this intuitive healthy.

Welcome to Season 2! This episode, I take a moment to orient you to how this season will roll out plus what to expect from Healers. Dan grew up on a farm in California. In college, he figured out how to get his family out of farming by creating a large and successful produce company. Along the way, he developed some physical pain for which he finally sought the help of a cranial-sacral practitioner. His spiritual journey started there, and five years later, Dan is still managing his produce company but taking more time off to offer energy healings. He uses his incredible clairsentient ability to help clients resolve past-time wounding and triggers and bring them closer to the limitless love and truth of their soul. What I loved most about my time with Dan was his positive attitude and open mind. Dan has an incredible ability to make lemonade from lemons; a skill that we could each learn from. I hope you enjoy his perspective! Find Dan at www.Innergy.me or email him at ddmarchini@att.net .

This week, I start with a personal update on the steps I"m taking to manage stress and adjust my lifestyle in order to manage stress in a body that has had too much. I move on to clear up some commonly confused terms like hsp and empath, then finish by talking about my newest experiment - The Community Fund. The Community Fund is one way I'm trying to create greater access to the services I provide.

Kat Kim - a radical life coach for spiritual non-conformists - and I waste no time diving right into how we're each responding to the constricting model of consumer capitalism and consumer spirituality. Kat walks us through what she has identified as the four pillars of consumer spirituality - the brand of new age "spirituality" that teaches us to be better consumers, rather than better humans. We talk about the struggle to forge a new path forward and dish on the moves we're both making.

Today I take the scenic road to discuss the connections between the role I see of sensitive, empathic people in the evolution of human consciousness + how personal spiritual work must include a SO THAT aspect that relates to the community + how personal freedom is tied to collective freedom and why + how the intuition and psychic skills are not supernatural and we should really stop pretending they are + how to build the world we want to live in. I recorded this one outside so you also get the benefit of all the twitterpated birds in the background.

In the second live reading on air, I help guide "Luci" through the subtle world of her aura to find her truth around the intersection of her purpose and her career, her "cold feet" feelings around marriage, relationship negotiations and sexuality. This is a juicy reading full of insight. Stay around until the end for a group oracle!

In this juicy episode, Sharyn Holmes - gutsy leader, artist, speaker, sacred activist, earthshaker and writer - go deep into the roots of her Gutsy Girl work, her frustration and trauma around white women spiritual leaders, sovereignty and finding the courage (or the rage) to speak up. Sharyn's got an important PSA for white women leaders, so I invite you to take this potent opportunity to listen (cuz we can do better). Finally, what do brave, gutsy women do in their free time?

In what has become Part II of Episode 15, this week I finish the story of my journey from scientist to psychic with my "Come to heart" moment (not to be confused with a "come to Jesus" moment). I talk about how I grew up as a spiritual seeker in a family of agnostics, surrounded by a community of Mormons, and eventually found my way to my own sense of spiritual connection.

Dr. Sabrina Kimball has become an expert at treating SIBO - small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Highly sensitive people often find themselves suffering from tummy troubles, and many are diagnosed (or misdiagnosed). Because SIBO is a relatively new finding, it can be difficult to find someone who understands the condition, has experience treating it, and is willing to stay up to date on the most current research. Join in as Dr. Kimball and I talk all things SIBO - what it is, how it develops, what healing looks like and much, much more.

Today I take you on my journey from scientist to psychic. This is - by far - the most asked question I received. That of the journey - how did I get here? How did I leave my safe life as a scientist, someone who was in a respectable field, for a life as unsafe as that of a psychic? It took 10 years, one divorce, a trip to India, meditation, courage, and a lot of jumping and hoping that some sort of net appeared.

This week, psychotherapist and sensitive pioneer Carmen Cool and I talk about the link between high sensitivity and disordered eating and how she helps people struggling with disordered eating. We talk about how Carmen is working to dismantle the diet industry and give people the tools they need to connect to their inner wisdom in order to find real freedom. Ever been to therapy and wondered, "Why are they so distant?" Carmen is doing work to break down the traditional norm of professional coolness in the psychotherapy field.

Today I have permission from a client to share an intuitive reading I gave her recently. I take you behind the scenes at some of my prep work, how I see (clairvoyantly) energy and know (claircognizantly)energetic information.

This week, Darla Antione and I gush about all things ancestral - the healing of lineages and why it's important, the spiritual blessings and gifts that come from this work, and the spiritual responsibilities that may be required. Darla talks about how doing this work in her own life has opened up clearer connection to spirit, better guidance from her ancestors, and a clearer sense of intuitive guidance. We dish about fairies, past lives, incarnations - we didn't miss anything in this super fun conversation!

Today I'm getting personal. In this episode, I talk about what a morning in my household looks like (it's not the perfect morning you might imagine), and then tell you about the one-on-one clairvoyant readings I do and how they've helped my clients. I walk you back through parts of my history, back to some of the first spiritual experiences that I can remember, back to the formative years of finding my spiritual truth, and how that process taught me to trust in my intuition. I also talk about learning to tell the difference between intuition and ego. Finally, I talk about how I'm teaching basic intuitive development tools in The Refuge for Sacred Rebellion starting March 20th.

How is the yoga we've been sold different from the yoga that nourishes and acts as medicine? Amy Day and I explore our personal evolution with yoga, and give examples of what a modern-day yoga practice can look like. We explore yoga and cultural appropriation, colonization, and how to be responsible teachers and practitioners of yoga, especially if we're white.

Today I'm getting my thoughts out about the colonization, cultural appropriation, and white-washing often found in New Age spirituality, especially within spiritual circles of white women. I discuss the problems with spiritual bypassing, the need for spirituality to include social justice, and advocate for spiritual responsibility - an embodied spirituality that includes action in the physical world. I ask the question, "What would decolonizing spirituality look like, and how do we start?" I do not know the answers, but I give my thoughts and suggestions on where to start. In this podcast, I ask for your voice - please listen and then send your thoughts, ideas and suggestions to anna@sensitivityuncensored.com.

Ane Axford, founder of Sensitive Leadership, talks to us about her personal story of growing up in a conservative Mormon religion - a faith that didn't make sense or feed her. She tells us how she began to understand why the faith didn't feed her, and her journey to find the courage to leave this faith to find a spiritual practice that fed her soul. This is a deeply personal journey of one person finding a spiritual practice, but the lesson - that we, as highly sensitive people, need a spiritual practice that feeds our needs - is incredibly important.

In this episode, bodyworker, creativity cultivator and memoir writing coach Janelle Hardy talks about the ways that reclaiming our stories in the process of memoir writing can be incredibly healing. Janelle tells us about the freedom created when we uncover and examine our ancestry, and how this knowing can empower who we are. She connects the importance of body practices for bringing forth creativity, and shares some details of her memoir writing course that starts in February, called Personal Mythmaking.

Today, Abigail and I dig deep into the topic of white supremacy - what it is, how it works, and what we can do about it. We're specifically talking to white people, and spiritual white people in particular. We look at the ways that white supremacy acts like a code or program that our culture runs on, some of the history that built that code, how white supremacy and colonization are related, and why it's important for white highly sensitive people to join in. Abigail leads a course for white, cis-gendered women as a place to start to dismantle their own whiteness. The next course starts February 4th, 2018.

In this episode, Elizabeth Rainey tells us how her early life of pushing and controlling her body lead to a journey of deep listening and finding her innate resiliency. We discuss the tools that yoga, yoga therapy and somatic experiencing offer us in accessing our inner resources so that we can increase our capacity for meeting life and live in resiliency.

Sukie Baxter invites highly sensitive people to take up space - in our bodies and in our lives. In this episode, we explore what exactly this means, plus cover how the body is the key to creating more space within our whole lives. At the end of the episode, Sukie takes us through a practice to help us understand how we're currently taking up space in our body and how we can begin to make changes.

Episode 2: I believe high sensitivity can save the world by Sensitivity Uncensored

In this episode, Heidi and I discuss the gifts and challenges of living a spiritual life as a highly sensitive person and pioneer.
