Why learning about sensitivity and healing through plant Reiki important?

Sensitives and their affinity with trees

My Story as a Highly Sensitive Person

As a highly sensitive person, I have chosen to embody my sensitivity levels, vulnerability, unique needs, and all my gifts and talents. A few years ago, I struggled to understand my challenges because they seemed so different from those of others.

I didn't know anyone who would be as overwhelmed as I would, require as much time as I needed, felt as deeply as I did, or spoke as passionately as I did.

I remember sitting in my balcony and spending hours being close to the plants to feel like I was in my body. I would wake up and try to settle my energy and emotions for the fair part of my day. It almost felt as though the only thing I did on most days was to be able to survive that day. And I am not exaggerating. It wasn't until I learnt that I was highly sensitive, that I was able to develop the skills I required to support my sensitivity and my unique gifts.

Of course, it took almost two years for me to learn the precise skills I required to support my sensitivity post my discovery. However, I got there, and today, I know that I am better off being sensitive or highly sensitive.

Why Being Highly Sensitive Is Both a Gift and a Challenge?

Scientists like Dr. Elaine Aron have studied the trait of high sensitivity and recognized it as a trait that helps in evolution. Some of the benefits of being highly sensitive include:

• having deeper insights into situations

• having heightened senses

• being more empathetic and can read others energy/emotions

• being more compassionate

• being emotionally, energetically, psychically, and cognitively gifted

• being aware of threatening situations beforehand and can protect themselves from harm

• being highly intuitive

• being highly aware and more informed

• being extremely creative

• having high emotional intelligence

  
  

I understand that many sensitive and highly sensitive individuals can be critical of themselves and attract critical situations. However, it is important to remember that, as sensitive and highly sensitive people, we have many gifts and talents.

So, why be critical of ourselves?

Instead, we could celebrate our gifts and utilise them to support the world to evolve!

Comprende :)?

Now, I do have to emphasise that sensitive or highly sensitive individuals can come across challenges if they don't learn about their gifts or develop skills to manage them. The reason for this is that when our gifts remain unrecognised, they remain mismanaged or unmanaged. For no fault of our own, we would be blaming ourselves for not understanding ourselves or others.

When not managed, sensitive and highly sensitive individuals can experience:

• fear

• overwhelm

• confusion

• lack of self-belief

• lack of confidence

• self-doubt

• wrong career paths

• misdiagnosis or mental health issues that could seem like a mental health issue, but are actually a gap in understanding one's sensitivity (this is based on the research available and my personal opinion only)

• attracting the wrong people and opportunities

• imbalanced energies

  
  

Which is why, I find it important for sensitive individuals to learn about their gifts and talents, as it could open doors to health, healing, monetary gains, career opportunities, and soul expression.

Why Learning About Sensitivity Matters?

When we invest our time and energy in controlling situations or people that would never understand our uniqueness, we would be wasting our time and energy. In such times, individuals usually remain stuck for a long time, assuming that their sensitivity is their fault, and there could be many people who could support that belief.

Instead, sensitive individuals could recognise the need of the hour, which is their education about their gifts. When sensitive individuals invest in their education, they stop wasting time and energy on things, situations, and people they cannot control.

And if I am being fully honest, our gifts will always support us, even when the outer world doesn't. So, it is a better bet to depend on one's gifts than not.

Why Sensitive Souls Aren't Alone In Appreciating Nature?

I find that working with trees, plants, and tree Reiki has helped me learn about my gifts and sensitivity. My tree guides and plant guides (Muddy, Mr. Birch, Juniper, and Mr. Leafy) have helped me understand my energetic, emotional, and healing gifts.

In fact, receiving tree Reiki has helped me heal from PCOS and my trauma surrounding heartbreaks, sexual abuse, and the discrimination that comes along with mental health challenges.

Let me share another story about human connection with trees!

Recently, I met a young girl, Luba, in my society garden who was sitting by herself. It was pitch dark, and I had gone to the garden to meet my tree friend, Mr. Birch. I asked her what she was doing there, and she said that she was overwhelmed and stimulated with her college work and had come to the garden for some quiet time. I have known Luba for sometime now, and she has shared that she could also be sensitive.

So, I asked her if the company of plants and trees helped her feel relaxed. Instantly, she said, yes! Then, I introduced her to my tree friend, Mr. Birch. I showed her Mr. Birch's favorite spots to be stroked on his bark, and she became eager to spend time with Mr. Birch. As I was stroking Mr. Birch bark and speaking to Luba, she shared about her intimate connection with flowers, trees and plants. She also shared how she felt that it was rare for girls of her age to not appreciate nature, trees, plants, mushrooms, shrubs, or flowers. I told her that wasn't true.

I intuit that many sensitive and highly sensitive individuals globally were connected with trees and plants. I am assured that many tree or plant lovers can perceive nature with their energy gifts, intuition, awareness, and emotional connection. So, I assured Luba that she wasn't alone in her journey or experience (at all). There are many of us who are wired to heal from, heal through, and heal with nature.

Soon, I could see her perception change. She became more accepting of her sensitivity towards nature and began believing that she wasn't alone.

Why Sensitive People And Highly Sensitive People Are Naturally Suited for Plant Healing?

Sensitive souls and highly sensitive souls can be deeply intuitive and have a higher degree of faith levels in everything that cannot be seen or understood. They sense emotions. They know information. They see the world for what it is. It takes a truly sensitive soul to connect to a plant or tree.

It's like being at Hogwarts and being sorted into a house that matches every individual's personality. Similarly, I believe that every tree or plant chooses its human and vice-versa. The friendship between a plant/tree and a sensitive soul can help sensitive individuals cope with their unique challenges with emotions, energy, thoughts, and much more.

Please remember, plant allies respond to sensitivity.

When a sensitive individual learns how to work with plants intentionally, those relationships can provide grounding, protection, healing, friendship, and emotional regulation during the most difficult moments.
