High sensitivity is a sensitive subject, both literally and figuratively. This is because not everyone is aware of this way of “being”. In fact, many people have wondered for years why they sometimes react so intensely to their surroundings, why they are so concerned about what others think of them. Or why events can affect them deeply, why certain sounds and images annoy them or why they cannot sleep well.You simply have to learn to live with it, is an often-heard response. It may seem as though you are powerless, but nothing is further from the truth. Most likely you are highly sensitive, or in other words, very sensitive to everything you experience in daily life. You are – subconsciously – focused on your surroundings all the time and your senses pick up all kinds of signals. That can be an advantage, if you know how to deal with it.And that is exactly what this handbook is intended for. It offers you a practical approach, through the use of exercises, to gain insight into the mechanism that is at play deep within you, and which you can influence. To connect with your inner self and, in this way, organise your energy system in a way that works for you, so you can live the life that suits you.
