I created Mind the Inside with highly sensitive people and our unique challenges and growth journey in mind.
Life can be difficult and uncomfortable for us in ways that are not commonly addressed.
We live with heightened awareness, sensitivity, intensity, and empathy. We may be seekers and idealists. We may lack a sense of belonging and feel alienated from the mainstream culture and values.
On top of that, our sensitive mind-body systems are “stickier” than average.
After all, your nervous system is built to:
— take in more stimuli
— process it more deeply
— and have a heightened response to all that physical, social, and emotional stimuli.
As a result, through no fault of your own, you have “sensitivity liabilities” like being extra susceptible to accumulating subconscious problems that painfully suppress you from the inside.
Luckily, even though the impact of painful experience (and just life in general) is magnified on our mind-body systems, SO IS THE RELIEF we gain from healing.
In fact, I believe you have an edge when it comes to the alchemical ability to transmute emotional blocks just waiting for you to tap into it.
I believe sensitive people are well-equipped for subtle inner work, sincere growth, and contributing to a culture of healthier connection to our Selves and others.
In order to do so, I propose we must understand our inner functioning and how to work with it, becoming our own experts and architects.
Life is an inside game, after all, and that requires that we pay close attention to our subconscious world and learn how to work with those inner layers of Self.
In other words, we must learn to mind the inside!
