60 Octaves

Reading a science magazine, I came across a fascinating article about astronomers who were also musicians. They ran tests to determine the sounds coming from space. The result? The lowest note they found was 60 octaves below middle C! What would that sound be like?

That’s pretty deep. It goes for HSPs, too. And the journey is fun, frustrating and amazing.

Puzzle Pieces

There are two common ways most of our callings get expressed in our lives: as a job, or as a volunteer vocation. Sometimes the work we would most love to do does NOT fit the mold of the life path we have been following, even if we think it does. Something is missing.

Perhaps you have noticed that I haven’t written on this blog in several years. My life went through major changes in location, lifestyle, and internal metamorphus. Some of it I fought, other parts were accepted with a resigned sigh, or grief. It took several years, but my inner and outer worlds have finally settled down. I can still hear bubblings coming from deeper places in my psyche, so I know there still may be more to come.

And I know that I’m “getting it” because the kinetic parts –my body– and my feelings, feel more insync. I’m coming through the portal now… I know the journey will be different, not perfect, but closer to the plan that feels hard wired inside.

If you want to be, live, thrive, doing your calling, expect the unexpected. Stay anchored with a spiritual life and allow yourself to grow. Want to grumble? Go ahead. I did. God will open doors, closets, cuboards, even passage ways into Oz. It’s all part of the process.

Enjoy life, be moved by it. This is part of the magic.

The Highly Sensitive Person At Work

In the past ten years there has been much new information gleaned regarding personality and innate temperament. One such fascinating trait which has garnered much attention of late, is that of the highly sensitive person, or HSP.

In the groundbreaking book by Dr. Barrie Jaeger, aptly titled, ‘Making Work Work For The Highly Sensitive Person: Learning to bend, not to break when work overwhelms you,’ we can discover the intricities of this rather unusual trait. In essence, the highly sensitive person has a nervous system that has a much lower threshold to stimulation than most people. In fact, Dr. Jaeger affirms that only 15-20% of the population has this trait. Some people are born with a neurological system that is pre-wired as a highly sensitive person. Others may be traumatized early in development and become hypersensitive as a result of abuse or extreme childhood stress.

“I’ve struggled in the workplace for years. I’ve intuitively taken steps to keep myself from becoming overwhelmed by work. I figured that I was a slacker but after reading this book I realized that these steps helped to shield me from a world that was sometimes overwhelming and seemed morally wrong to me. I had numerous ah-ha moments while reading this book. I’m not so strange after all. Suddenly I have been given coping skills for dealing with the overwhelming stimulation I sometimes receive from the workplace.”
