@Prajna O'Hara listening to your Sensitive Sisterhood video right now, and I wanted you to know that you have the most soothing voice. Just listening to you is calming to my nervous system. Also: I have a background in psychology and theology, too. :)

Thank you so much. This is very soothing and calming to hear from you.

So many commonalities are lining up between us, True soul sisters. Thank you for listening and sharing.

It really brought me closer to you @Prajna O'Hara , to hear your voice and part of your story. I love what you shared about the plant medicines, too, because I did psilocybin therapy last October, and it changed my life.

Prajna I missed Sundays session, sadly. So I thought I'd hop over to your Substack and connect.

My sensitivity I've learnt, has allowed me the blessing of knowing intuitively what others need. It's taught me to honour myself and my needs, so I can serve others. And most of all bring me into awareness of how if not managed I can get stuck in strong emotions and then all my creativity gets blocked. I love how I feel when I'm living authentically and my creativity is allowed to just flow.

Someone asked if I'm a HSP, I'm not sure if I am. I will have a lot to learn about this. Does anyone has this issue where people with ill intent would weaponised this against you, telling you that you are just so sensitive. How does one deal with this?

Hello Emika, that sounds like an uncomfortable situation. And it’s not uncommon as you learn more about sensitivity being a strength not a weakness. You might come to consider this a compliment.

Warmly

Thank you for stopping by and reading. I think the world needs more sensitive people.

Deep feeler over here. I appreciate this offering so very much.

“You have to learn to get up from the table when love is no longer being served.”

Ooof. Never heard that quite before.

Oh yes you are Jeannie. I’m inspired knowing how deep you feel. I imagine our girls bring out the deep to be lived. Thank you.

I believe that so much @Prajna O'Hara —that our girls bring out the depth in us. It’s a call, for me, a beckoning of sorts. When Sarah was born and she’d pierce me with her blue eyes, I knew it was an invitation to enter her world rather than raise her to conform to mine. And it’s been a long, arduous journey, as you well know, but it feels so good—and healing—to be among others like you who are sensitive and compassionate and understand what this life is like.

Speaking along these lines, do you know if there is a Substack directory for us moms who are raising kids with disabilities? I have been thinking about that this week for some reason. And if there isn’t one, I was thinking of maybe starting one.

So encouraging and validating. A chance to believe in oneself and to know that inner feelings matter. Most of all that we are not alone in our paths and we can pass along our sensitivity without guilt or shame is astoundingly beautiful.

What a beautiful and nutritive share. I feel so full reading this. 💗💗💗

And I’m feeling, seeing, learning inside of myself how I can separate, move away from someone without breaking the bond of love.

So subtle!
