As I watched the recreated scene of the tsunami engulfing the entire resort, sweeping people out to sea with sounds eerily replicated, it was hard to grasp that it was a reenactment.\u00a0 Even though I was watching a movie, my entire being felt the reality these people faced.\u00a0 Waves of sadness, horror and disbelief swept over me.\u00a0 Tears washed down my face leaving trails of mascara and foundation.<\/p>\n

These weren’t menopausal tears.\u00a0 These were tears of acknowledgment.\u00a0 Tears that honored the struggle of the hundreds of thousands of people and animals swept away in the India Ocean tsunami that decimated parts of Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia on December 26, 2004.\u00a0\u00a0 I deeply empathized with their pain.<\/p>\n

Anyone watching the movie, The Impossible<\/strong>, would be hard pressed not to cry.\u00a0 As a highly sensitive empath (HSE), the connection to other beings, even as created on a movie screen, is that much more intense. We HSE\u2019s feel deeply when we witness intense human emotion. \u00a0Our tears call to that part of us that knows we are not separate beings; that part of us that knows we are all connected.<\/p>\n

The movie was hard to watch.\u00a0 Even though the featured family survived the horrible ordeal, over 230,000 other people did not.\u00a0 I\u2019m grateful to be brought to tears to help me remember what is really important.\u00a0 I\u2019m also grateful that I did not carry that emotion with me any further.\u00a0 As an HSE it is important to know how to let go of the energy\u2026even the energy of a movie.<\/p>\n

Just watching another\u2019s plight can connect you to the energy when you are an HSE.\u00a0 Watching movies or news programs can diminish your vibration if you do not consciously disconnect.\u00a0 You must care for your energy body by carefully choosing what you let into your space which includes what you watch and subject yourself to.<\/p>\n

Recently an Illumination Program<\/a> client of mine experienced this type of empathy.\u00a0 While driving on a road she noticed something off to the side.\u00a0 As she looked closer she realized it was a crane that had been struck by a car.\u00a0 Standing next to the crane was its partner.\u00a0 As she looked in the rear view mirror, she connected with the surviving crane and using her newly honed communication abilities warned her not to stay long as she might also be hit by a car. \u00a0At the same time, she felt the sorrow and grief the crane was experiencing.\u00a0 While it was exciting to be able to experience the clear communication with the crane, the grief she felt was deep and painful.\u00a0 Fortunately, she knew how to disconnect from the crane and was left with a normal sadness from having witnessed the tragedy.<\/p>\n

You may have experienced watching a video posted on Facebook or YouTube that brought you to tears\u2026a child speaking profoundly, an animal being rescued, or a couple that has endured the years together and are still madly in love. \u00a0While not necessarily sad, these moments often move us to tears as our Soul reminds us of what is truly important in life.\u00a0 The tears interrupt \u00a0the voices in our head that are \u201cshoulding\u201d us or \u00a0or otherwise telling us how to be.\u00a0 These moments remind us what is really important.<\/p>\n

Love.\u00a0 Generosity.\u00a0 Kindness.\u00a0 Compassion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sensitivity we experience is truly a gift.\u00a0 To be able to feel deeply and sense the energies and life around us provides richness and depth to our lives.\u00a0 Knowing how to manage it so we are not overwhelmed is not complicated but is essential to creating ease in our life.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t already, I encourage you to download the Energy Mastery Tool Kit<\/strong> (on the right side of this page) to help you manage your sensitivities.<\/p>\n
