I’ve always felt my emotions deeply. As an empath and highly sensitive person, I constantly felt that I was “too sensitive.” This belief led me to suppress my feelings and to not express my needs and desires for fear of being seen as needy or weak. I began to distrust and ignore my intuition because it didn’t feel safe or acceptable for me to feel my emotions fully.
I believed that I would only gain acceptance and love if I made others happy, which led to a lot of people pleasing and a complete lack of boundaries. I felt disconnected from myself and others, and finally got to a point where I knew I needed to make some major changes in the way I treated myself and handled my emotions.
My feminine embodiment journey has helped me honor myself as a highly sensitive person by giving me sacred space to rediscover and respect my true nature. Through my embodied meditation, journaling, movement, and ritual practices, I have begun to allow myself to explore whatever is present with curiosity instead of criticism or judgment. Now I am able to recognize that when a thought, emotion, or feeling is repeatedly surfacing, my body is showing me that it needs my attention and compassion. Embodiment has helped me reframe and reconnect with my sensitivity so I can honor my unique needs and live an aligned and joyful life.
If you are reading this blog post, I’m guessing you either already consider yourself highly sensitive, or are questioning if you are highly sensitive. You may be feeling:
- sensory overload due to light, sound, or being in a crowd that leads you to avoid social situations altogether
- anxiety or shame due to your sensitivity being seen as a problem or weakness which can cause you to hide or ignore your emotions
- frustrated or confused due to difficulty distinguishing between your emotions and the emotions of others
- resentment or like you are stuck in people pleasing behaviors due to a lack of boundaries
If any of this resonates with you, I feel you! I understand the challenges of being a highly sensitive woman. As a feminine embodiment coach who specializes in working with highly sensitive women, I am here to support you in learning to embrace your sensitivity by reconnecting with the wisdom of your body.
WHAT IS FEMININE EMBODIMENT?
Feminine embodiment is about fully inhabiting, or being in your body so that you are able to listen to its wisdom. Many of us have become disembodied or disconnected from our bodies. We live our lives in our heads, prioritizing what we think, devaluing and dismissing what we feel, and ignoring (or not even being aware of) our bodies’ inherent wisdom. Our bodies hold information about our emotions, thoughts, and experiences. When we are embodied, we are able to access this information and gain insight into who we are, what we desire, and how we can best meet our unique needs. Being embodied leads to self-discovery, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-love.
Feminine embodiment is a powerful practice that can support highly sensitive women to reclaim their bodies, reconnect with their intuition, and rediscover their true essence. It is an empowering practice that reminds sensitive souls of their inherent strengths and gifts, allowing them to release limiting beliefs about their sensitivity so they can step into their full power.
BECOME AN EMBODIED EMPATH
I invite you to close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and imagine how it would feel to:
- be empowered by your deep sensitivity that allows you to deeply understand, support, and connect with yourself and others
- to accept and love all parts of yourself and offer yourself love, compassion, and grace
- regulate and respect your emotions and feelings so you can fully express your true essence
- honor your body by deeply listening to its inner knowing
- identify and protect yourself from energy drains so you aren’t carrying emotions and energy that don’t belong to you
- set embodied boundaries that honor your needs and desires so you can live the aligned and authentic life of your dreams
If reading this gave you a full body yes, I would love to support you in my Embodied Empath Journey coaching container.
