Weather has a HUGE affect w/me.

When a storm is rolling in, I'm off the charts, giddy, full of energy, almost euphoric, everything comes together. It lasts for as long as there is the momentum, thunder and lightening. If it's just rain, I'm sluggish.

Kundalini? My feeling with that is it's a spiritual manifestation that has nerve connections (best way I can describe it).

I've heard people can have spinal injuries affecting the Kundalini, but I feel it's all connected, like the injury sparks nerve centers that haven't been tapped. So your perception changes.

I feel you can trigger your own "Kundalini" as well. If/when this happens a person can go through a level of spirituality, that may be experienced in all sorts of crazy ways. Pains, depression, confusion, change of circle of friends, etc. but it's an opening as well, almost like a new beginning, a feeling similar to the kind you feel when you fall in love

I'd agree Elleise. When the barometer drops, I feel it: headachy and out of it.

Lack of the sun puts me right into the doldrums -- have to get the Vitamin D dose and as a result I don't care much for winter unless it's a bright and sunny winter day.

And thunderstorms, well, I've always been fascinated by their energy and I love the way you describe these storms as "everything coming together." You can feel it coming!

I used to be positively frightened by thunderstorms, but I'm growing to appreciate the wildness more and more.

Thanks for making such an excellent point!

Peace.

I am like you, Anna. When the barometer drops my head feels it, but unfortunately for me it is usually not just a headache that a little ibuprofen can kick. Often when a storm is on the way or has already arrived I get a migraine, sometimes lasting for days.

It is nice being a highly sensitive person in some ways, but in other ways it is a royal PITA!!!

Such is life, and I have learned to deal with it and I understand that this is just who I am and how my body reacts.

Yes it is !!!

We feel everyone else's junk took because we all connected !!!

You are right, Burt. We do feel everyone else's cr@p too because we are so sensitive. It can seriously affect us if we let it. It is important to separate yourself from it all to guard your own sanity.

As Burt says, we are all connected!!

Yes, there are pros and cons to the HSP Cassie. Lately, it's as if I can't tolerate food with additives in it, esp. MSG and hydrogenated oils if I eat something fried, and I'm out of it for a day or two.

Funny, today I was making fruitcake and I looked at my hand mixer and thought, "this is going to break." A minute later, one of the beaters dis-attached itself and I had only one to work with.

HO HO HO and a bottle of rum says Jimmy Buffet.

My Russian sister

Yup, been doing the exact same thing, down to the letter, lol.

I had an X-mas package 2 actually for 2 different people. I had many other packages coming as well (on-line xmas).

Anyway, the two I'm talking about, I had that sick, pit in your stomach feeling...the kind where you get dumped or have some other unfavorable news delivered.

Anyway, I was hoping and hoping they would come and fnally I'm just like, you know what? Face it, it's not going to happen and neither of them came. The others, early actually. But I felt it the day after I placed the orders.

Cheers to that rum of yours!

Amen to that Burt!

I think that's one of the things that really is understated in this line of business.

When I'm offering classes to enhance sensitivities, I always start out with...

"Now you're sure about this. Imagine what it can feel like feeling much more of what many people avoid. Couple that with living in a topical world where nothing is what it seems."

Suprisingly, many aren't diswayed. They kind of roll up their sleeves and are ready to get to it.

I like that in a sensitive! It's not a work for the weary, that's for sure.

Hey Elleise

I'm so grateful that you have created a support group and actually guide and direct blessed souls who are coming to this understanding and awakening !!

Pretty

Unfortunately, I grew up with mid-western sensibilities shall I say.. and once this bona fide ' Aquarian stuff ' started opening up for me -- I had no one to share it with, and there is a lot of wannabe bull cr@p out there to be sure.

Back in my home town.... Lansing, MI there was only one book from the publisher I resonated with in a small off the wall church... yet, it seemed incumbent upon me to open a branch of my own... to no avail.

My Dad retired to FL at age 19 and I couldn't cope.

We did everything together as a family -- (3 boys, Mom, Dad & Live-In Uncle John).

I have the general vibe of woe is me.. but I was an extremely delicate soul and although dad traveled back and forth for 8 years, I couldn't get my footing and stand on my own.

Anyway... I sincerely do appreciate you gals and guys who understand this stuff -- because through my own spiritual pride and downright laziness I ended up spending the best part of my later teens and into my early 40s in mental institutions simply because I was creative, sensitive, kind and loving.

Stuff Happens.

These many years later Dr. Stan Grof's work is starting to take root.

Elleise, If you would take some time to view these videos from my support group and personally comment upon them I sure would appreciate it.

Holidays are crazy, however you seem to be a highly organized and disciplined person when it comes to time and space.

As far as the shorting out of appliances go...

There is an ancient original Star Trek episode, (we're all mesmerized by Star Trek aren't we) !!

That graphically depicts the sensing feeling knowing before it comes into manifestation i.e. Anna's broken mixer blades and your knowing the packages weren't coming as soon as you ordered them...

Thoughts are things and maintaining an iron grip while keeping the child-like curiosity alive is a most difficult balance to strive for, maintain, and purify.

They call it " The Razor's Edge ".

Here is a story about a guy in Ohio that made it through and has a productive life:

I didn't quite make it through and I come here to my friends on Bella to keep me sane and semi-functional.

We love you Burt, and you are welcome here any time! You've become a Brother to us all.
