If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these you really aren’t going out of your mind, nor are you the only one.

Myself, I’m 20 out of the 21 traits, as #8’s using drugs or alcohol has never been my way, as I don’t desire to block, numb, or distort what I’m feeling in any way. And #5 for me is an emotional absorption, as I don’t get the physical ones like sympathy cold symptoms.

But yes, we are all definitely having some major personal shifts that increase our sensitivities, while expanding our consciousness.

I know that I have been needing to withdraw a lot more lately, sometimes completely in the physical sense, and at other times, just pulling in my energy because I need the personal focus in order to operate most optimally. I see when I’m giving out more than giving in, and when I’m allowing others to feed off of my energy.

I spent this weekend with myself, going within to feel and physically (cleaned out my closet and office) and emotionally purging (just allowing anything that wanted to release through me emotionally that may be stored). I also spent time just “being” and not asking for answers or trying to figure anything out. And lately I’ve been deliberately withdrawing my energy and adding more boundaries that feel healthy and supportive to me, as ultimately I can only be of best service if I’m truly giving myself all that “I” need.

Thank you Laura for sharing this post from Christina Sarich. I feel it goes really well as a continuum from my yesterday’s post on “The Tragedy of Denying Feelings“.
