HSP: Characteristics of High Sensitivity

Many people are familiar with the emerging, popular term high sensitivity, but what exactly does it mean if you are a highly sensitive person (HSP)?

What is high sensitivity (HSP)?

First some definitions: I think high sensitivity and high sensitivity come down to the same thing. And hsp stands for a highly sensitive person.

I think you can take the terms quite literally. You are a bit more sensitive† But not only in terms of emotions, certainly not, but also for van everything around you, so incentives, which I will go into more about in the following headings.

You are highly sensitive if you have a thin energetic shield† A thin energetic shield lies on your past lives, childhood and traumas/events in your life. If you have a thin energetic shield, you will receive more here stimuli through† That is my definition of hsp: receiving incentives more than others. A shield can become thicker over the years, for example if events in your life demand this. Sometimes you have to survive by feeling less. That's a protection mechanism.

Receiving incentives through your hsp

When you receive an incentive, it does all kinds of things to you. But that depends entirely on your personal interests and gifts. For example, are you developing clairaudience? Then you mainly suffer from or really enjoy sound. And for claircognizance For example, when you receive a lot of stimuli, you become very analytical. You can also suffer from this by experiencing or responding to a full head.

hsp and gifts:

Most people quickly think of clairvoyance when they think of gifts. The fact is that in addition to clairvoyance and the gifts in the above headings, clairsmelling and clairsentience are also gifts. And as described, what you do with the stimuli you receive and how you interpret them depends on your gift, survival mechanism and interest. It is true that the more highly sensitive you are, the easier it is for you to notice and develop a gift through additional perception of stimuli.

High sensitivity (hsp) summarized point by point

What high sensitivity does to your character depends on which gift you are most used to and how you put it together yourself† At least you are able to perceive the stimuli around you.
High sensitivity is reflected in your character in the following ways:
De positive points that can occur are:
- Attention to detail;
– Lively and carpe diem feeling;
– Good day and night rhythm;
– Aware of subtle signals;
– Able to read between the lines and pick up on subtle signals;
– You can be moved by art, music and images.

And the negative points can be:
– Disrupted day and night rhythm;
– Feeling that the day is passing you by;
- Being tired;
- Have a fear of contamination because you already feel so much;
– Wrestling with wanting to shield yourself against the high sensitivity versus wanting to experience the sensitivity in a dosed way;
– If your heart isn't in it somewhere, it's impossible to make it happen. But this is actually quite positive;
Your body often tells you things. This is because people with a thin energetic shield have closer contact with their subconscious.

High sensitivity and behavior

In terms of behavior, the above signals are shaped as follows:
Positive:
You quickly oversee consequences and act accordingly;
– Be very empathetic;
– You're a real one helper. Says the right thing at the right time. And also know when to leave an issue if you cannot help;
– Have a rich imagination and you are therefore very problem-solving;
– You do not panic easily, because you can often sense in advance how a situation will end.

Negative:
– Or you get really panicky, because you are overwhelmed with stimuli;
– You often get stuck in paid services, because you have to meet a certain image;
– You think a little longer because you can empathize a lot. This may be experienced as uncertain or cautious by others. As if you don't know what you want;
– Don't say no quickly, because you feel that the other person really needs you right now;
– You are quickly thrown off your pedestal because you are not alone hears that someone else is trying to throw you off your pedestal with his words, but also because you feel that he is trying to do this. So that is twice as much having to stand up for yourself as people who are less sensitive have to deal with.

How do you approach embracing your high sensitivity?

How do you transform all of this into the positive?, I hear you think. Awareness is a great first step. Then you know what you are working on. In addition, visualizing is very good. Visualize that you can do it and keep it up! Just like you need words to express yourself, visualization is the language and means of use of the energetic, the stimuli and the subconscious, or: an HSP.
