This post is less about jyotish or self care resources and more of a pep talk. A reminder to all those who are sensitive, who feel deeply. Perhaps you are like me, feeling the rawness of this sacred time, the fragility of this Navaratri eclipse time. For most, the subtle messages from the feeling level are nudged aside, neglected, tucked thoughtlessly away. But for those of us who have bigger feelings, more intense feelings, we can't so easily let our feelings and emotions hide. Not to say we haven't tried (or still don't occasionally). When you give up trying to resist your depth of feeling life, this is a turning point. And this is probably where we will cross paths.... When you start to recognize that your feelings are the pulse of your life, this can offer great awakening. It's not necessarily that the feelings, or the emotions that arise from these feelings, are in and of themselves healing. But if you are awake and savvy, those feelings can be amazing resources for your transformation and healing process. Our feelings are pathways to becoming more and more awake. Awakened to our needs, wants, and the whys behind them. Feelings are always a response to our personal mythology. A reservoir of our life experiences. So if you feel deeply, you are one of the lucky ones. You have easy access to what can awaken you and bring more consciousness to your life process. We are the gifted ones, but can so easily get off track and lose our sense of inner trust, our resiliency. I know personally that great sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse and we must guard it like the precious gift that it is. Some days, like today, when the rawness of life is strong and tears are unstoppable, I remind myself that I am here in this body to feel. That is why I chose to be a human I believe- to feel the full range of my humanness. Not just the good, the easy, the light and joyful parts. But also the dark, vulnerable, fearful and tragic parts as well. And though I know this dance between the hard and the soft is a choice, a very conscious one, I choose to work with both very intentionally. We are both light and dark. (And Jyotish is the study of this which is why I use it). Those of us who are sensitive know how thin this veil is between these realms and just how overwhelming that seems at times. Consider this as your reminder to keep going. Even when it's hard to take another step. Don't lose hope that life will bring another day, another dawn. Surf your waves and find a shore, but be ready to surf again. Bring presence to your breath and to the soft landing that is your physical body; its sensations will help you land back in the now. Remind yourself how sacred your internal and external space is. Keep company that is nourishing to you and find environments that do the same. When the darkness arrives, thank it, work with it, let it share its messages. Then use great care to peel back the layers of your truth. Above all, when you're walking through fire, the best rule is always to keep walking. Continue feeling, but keep the feelings moving. Treat your sensitivity, your ability to feel, as the gift that it is, and it will bless you with its many offerings. Here is to your embodied movement forward- with grace, care, and presence to your own sacred existence. Attending to your sacredness is the ultimate self care. Nourish yourself!

The Survival Guide for Sensitive People:
A Short List for Self Care In Work Environments My struggles with sensitivity have effected my ability to work. How I work, who I work with, and what I can do for work. It has felt limiting to say the least. I've had to learn- step by step- how to work with my sensitivity, not against it. How to nurture it, value it, and ultimately treasure it- even when it's a challenge and feels like it's holding me back. I'm different, I work differently, and as a result, my work is different than the rest of the world. I now understand this is something to celebrate! If you've been following my recent posts about being highly sensitive, you know that I'm passionate about offering you resources for taking care of yourself, working with your sensitivity, not against it, and realizing the gift that is your sensitivity. I believe that your sensitivity will lead you to your gifts, your dharmic purpose- but I'll be sharing more about that in the coming days. You already know that you have to treat yourself differently than the majority of the population. You have to eat differently, rest more, take care of your body more consciously. You probably already know that you need more alone time and that you may get frazzled more easily than others. These are very important considerations to be aware of for your daily life, but also for your work situations. My Survival Guide is below- a short list for self care in work environments, essentially. Here's how to thrive at work when you're extra sensitive: 1. Healthy Boundaries: If you're familiar with my work at all, you know that I speak about healthy boundaries rigorously. Healthy boundaries are different for everyone. But for sensitive types, boundaries are even more vital for well being. Boundaries keep in what nourishes, and keep out what is harmful and draining. Boundaries are a constant dance; I consider boundary work an ongoing process. But as we become more aware of our personal needs, what nourishes and what does not, boundaries become clearer and more accessible. The first step for healthy boundaries is the 3 Level Check In. It's an ideal tool for helping you clearly identify what is happening within your body, mind and emotions. You can't know what you need until you have a relationship with the felt senses. 2. Trust your differences: You are one of the "gifted and talented" as I call us. A select group of individuals who has high sensitivity, who require extra TLC, yet we are likely gifted with immense depth, awareness and experiences that might as well be an honorary title. Just because our culture doesn't honor sensitivity as a trait worth having, or a trait that is valued in our fast paced aggressive culture, doesn't mean that you aren't a valuable asset to your world, to your team, to your company or business. Play up your differences and start to honor them as the brilliance that makes you special. 3. Take Ample Pauses: Whether it's a fresh air break or a pause to breathe from your desk on the hour, it's vital that you step away, pause, or get up and move consistently and regularly. I suggest hourly pauses. Use the restroom, walk to a window, get some water. Get up from your chair, away from your computer, change your task. When you return, a fresh perspective, a new clarity, will be available to you. Make sure breath awareness is part of this "pause" and maybe a 3 Level Check In for extra good measure! 4. Take Alone Time: Though many sensitive types are extroverted by nature, the grande majority of us tend towards introversion- or at least we require longer bouts of alone time. Honor this and do as many projects alone as you can. If you have to do group work, see if tasks can be broken into individual projects that can be tackled away from the group. If your work requires constant socialization, take breaks as much as possible. Create a ritual in order to check in with yourself. I often go to the restroom for a moment of quiet and alone. Washing hands can be another ritual that can help you re-center. The water clears energy and if you've been touching a lot of people with your hands, a little soap and water can feel re-energizing. Make sure your schedule includes solid days where you can be quiet and inward- especially if the majority of your work requires a lot of external focus and extroversion. You need these days to recharge. Take them. 5. Do What You Love: This is especially important if you are not working in an environment or a job that fulfills you. It is essential to use all your spare time doing activities that bring you joy, recharge your batteries and inspire you. Get creative at home or perhaps take a new workshop. Walk in the woods, write poetry, dance, draw, journal, play with your animal companions, cook nourishing foods, do yoga. Whatever it is, fill your non-work moments with these types of self care joy! You not only deserve it, you require it for your well being. Consider this to be your part time job- or full time job! Do what you love, your life depends on it! 6. Less is More: If over-stimulation is an issue for you, then you will especially want to pay attention to keeping life, activities and relationships as under-stimulating as possible. Instead of thinking that there's something wrong with your life because it's not big, exciting and always moving, consider your needs for comfort, safety and security as your number one priority. Less can be more for highly sensitive types. We tend to need much less stimulation for our well being and need to keep our lives simple, as well as our relationships, in order to increase a sense of security and nourishment. Are you piling your plate too high and forcing yourself to comply? Only do the essentials in each day, then let self care be your number one priority. 7. Quality Not Quantity: Humans are communal creatures. And even though as a sensitive type, we tend to need more alone time, we still need quality connection to be healthy and well rounded. The type and quantity of connection we need will vary from person to person, but I suggest adding quality and meaningful connection to your self care regimen. Stay out of frivolity in your relationships- both personal and professional. Gossip and talking about people will not be fulfilling, it will be a drain of energy in the long run. Find people that you can talk about ideas and dreams with. If they can converse on those levels, they're likely worth keeping around. If the group dynamics at work seem to always fall into petty surface chit chat, be the one who provokes more intelligent conversation. Speak about books, movies, culture, activities and projects you are working on etc. Be the uplifter and keep it positive. 8. Do the Obvious: Make sure you are eating well and eat your meals at regular times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch should be your main meal of the day, so make it count and have it be relaxed. Keep a good schedule- one that is more in tune with Nature. Get plenty of sleep- 8 hours is ideal, but some sensitive types actually need more. Exercise daily. Move your body, move your breath, every day! Life will improve with this one tip alone! Have you had a massage lately? An acupuncture tune up? Seen your chiropractor? Consulted with an Ayurvedic doctor? Call in support when you need some extra TLC. 9. Don't Take It On: This is another boundary reminder. Don't take on what is not yours. Don't be a therapist, coach, parent, healer or self help guru for anyone and everyone. Don't try to fix others or be the savior. Don't even think about fixing others. It's not your job (unless it is your job, and then it's only your job during certain hours of the day. And healthy boundaries will be extra important for you!) Let go of any attachments you have to "make others feel better". They are right where they are, just like you are right where you are. Your sensitivity doesn't need to be 24/7 empathy. Learn to create healthy energetic boundaries and tend to you own needs. This is ultimately the most compassionate use of your energy. 10. Contain Yourself: Since sensitive types tend to feel more, we tend to have more to feel, and deeper experiences as a result. This can mean that we are more expressive, or less expressive (we bottle it up inside). There's a risk of sharing too much, too little, or sharing our feelings inappropriately. (Displaced aggression? Crying for "no reason"? Withdrawing or self isolating?) This is why we as sensitive types must be working directly with our 3 Levels of Awareness, to navigate what we are feeling and what our needs are. When we can identify our needs, we have a better chance of doing something that will be helpful for ourselves. We also don't get to take out our sensitivity on others and we need to be able to self care when we are having an extra rough day- which may be more often than others. Make sure you are attending to the previous suggestions especially on these days. And don't forget to communicate with others that you are having is a particularly challenging day. They will likely appreciate the communication more than withdrawal or lack of communication- even if they don't fully understand the reason. Be sure you have ongoing support for yourself. I suggest a trustworthy therapist, counselor or coach for helping you work through your emotional challenges, getting your needs met in healthy ways and finding new resources for yourself. This relationship can often be the missing level of support in our lives and can take the burden off our other relationships. Helpful Resources for Sensitivity Are you sensitive? Here's how to tell.

Markers of Sensitivity in Your Jyotish Chart.
Knowing that I am sensitive has helped me a great deal to accept my unique needs. As a result, I've known that I respond to life differently than most. That I need more time for recovery from travel, stressful situations, and that I need extra alone time to cope with life in general. My body has told me my entire life that it needs extra TLC. As a result I've been forced to change habits, my lifestyle, diet and more, in order to have any sense of well being. It's been a challenging existence much of the time. But as I've gained skills, awareness and resources, I've been able to manage and work with my sensitivity in more helpful ways. An ongoing process indeed! These days, however, I'm beginning to realize just how much of a gift my sensitivity is. I've been sharing a lot more about my sensitive reality recently. I've realized over the years that the majority of my clients are in fact like me, extra sensitive, and this is part of their personal struggle and turmoil. Many of their "sensitivity struggles" are why they are seeking out my assistance to begin with. Learning best practice for your own sensitivity is vital for increased fulfillment in life. I suggest looking at your sensitivity and the changes that have to be made in your lifestyle as an opportunity for self realization, increased awareness, and as part of your path to unique greatness. Cultivating a relationship with your sensitivity can in fact help you develop your innate creativity, intuitive gifts, and be an offering to others who are walking a similar path. In fact, embracing your sensitivity can often lead you directly to your dharma and life purpose! (Which I will be sharing more about shortly so stay tuned!) The Role of Jyotish in Our Sensitivity Jyotish has been a part of my path for many years. I had my first chart done at age seven, and though I found it intriguing and helpful in many regards, every jyotishi I've ever been to has seen my sensitivity as a hindrance to career and fulfillment in my life. Not a very positive outlook for an already inward and sensitive individual! To complicate matters, no jyotishi was ever able to tell me why I am sensitive, and how that was manifesting in my life based on my chart details. Nor did they tell me how they saw that in my chart, what it means for my life, and what some tools might be for helping me work more effectively with this sensitivity. It was clear that my dharma and career would be impacted and there wasn't much hope given for these areas of my life. "Slow start with career" they would say, or "very creative". But their advice for my life was always the same: "meditation, ayurveda, good routine." These are of course helpful tools, even vital, for me and other sensitive individuals. They have been life savers in many regards, but interestingly I'm now realizing I need to re-adjust even these tools to better suit my sensitivity! Along the way, and by looking at many charts over the years, while tracking the types of clients who arrive at my door, I've started to see certain markers of sensitivity in jyotish charts. There is a spectrum of sensitivity we may experience based on the planetary influences in our jyotish chart that will effect our life experiences and felt senses. As Dr. Elaine Aron's speaks intimately about in her book, many sensitive people are artists, musicians, thinkers, philosophers, and highly gifted with strong imaginations. As I look at jyotish charts of sensitive people. I am not surprised. I've come to understand there is quite a spectrum of sensitivity that occurs. It develops in a myriad of ways based on many different types of conditioning. There are as many possibilities as there are jyotish charts! But there are markers and ways to identify it from a Jyotish perspective. Below are some things to look for in your own chart in order for you to track your self more effectively. This is based on my personal experience, my study of multiple charts and individuals, as well as my intuitive understanding. These are basic markers by the way. Often the web of energy is much more complex in the overall chart, but having any one of these indications will provoke sensitivity for you. Part of what I am looking at in a jyotish chart are the effects on the emotional body (Moon), mental body (Mercury) and the physical body (Saturn as well as Sun). The three levels of awareness, essentially. The Moon is my main concern for sensitivity as it relates to our emotions and our intuition as well as our "felt sense" of life. The Moon plays a big role in our overall intelligence as well as our creativity. Read why the Moon is so important. Admittedly, the Moon is a huge part of my overall life's work- personally and professionally. And from a jyotish and Vedic perspective, the Moon holds many valuable pieces of wisdom for our experience of life. It's definately worth studying! I will speak mostly about the effects on the Moon here, but understand that these planetary effects on Mercury (mental body) and Sun (physical soul body) will cause specific sensitivities to these bodies as well. Note that the more markers you have effecting mental, emotional and physical bodies, the greater the overall sensitivity you will be experiencing- as well as their interactions with each other. Understanding Your Moon Moon + Saturn Saturn is the planet of structure, form and our karmas. He brings grief and suffering and rules time. Saturn touching the Moon by conjunction (same house) as the Moon will increase the emotional sensitivity in often extreme ways. This can bring heightened depression, grief, disappointments and sense of discouragement. These tendencies may appear if Saturn aspects the moon with his drishti- three, seven or ten houses away from him. His effects on Mercury, and Sun will give sensitivity to the mind and body as well. If Saturn is in the gap between signs (sandhi) then expect an increased physical sensitivity which can result in embodiment or physical issues. This can manifest as either a struggle staying in the body or with awareness of the body, and of course health issues. With work and focus, however, this can develop into a gifted somatic wisdom. Read more about sandhi planets + Saturn. A Saturn Atma Karaka (soul planet) can indicate extra sensitivity and will likely result in Saturn being a predominant force somehow in the overall chart. Working with suffering (individually) and as a part of one's path are indicated (due to personal experience!) Also, any planet that is in a nakshatra ruled by Saturn will offer the gifts of Saturn and can increase the sensitivity of the planet in that nakshatra. For example, Moon in Uttarabhadrapada, ruled by Saturn, will increase the sensitivity of the Moon and other indications of the chart will likely refine this understanding. Moon + Ketu Moon touched by Ketu will also increase the sensitivity of the emotional body. Ketu is a lunar node, not a true planet. As the "tail of the serpent" his role is to provide moksha- enlightenment. He does so by snipping our attachments, forcing us to let go of what we are gripping in this life time. When he connects with the Moon, he increases sensitivity by disruption. Since Ketu is a planet of re-structuring and deconstruction, the gentleness of the Moon is in a constant state of extra fragility. This can manifest as easy agitation, very sudden emotional outbursts, anger and frustration at the slightest changes or disturbances. There is an underlying sense of not "being in control" which can often manifest as needing extra control in one's life. When Ketu touches the Moon, it is hyper aware and overly alert. It is like having antennae up all the time. I think of this as a very thin emotional membrane that needs extra protection and vigilance in order for a sense of nurturing to be felt. There were likely issues very early on that increased this "over-stimulation" and exacerbated the sensitivity of the felt senses, so those with Ketu/Moon connections need to be very gentle with themselves and cultivate a life to counter the extra sensitivity. Since Ketu is not a planet and has no head, he can't give gaze or drishti. However, I consistently see his effects from a five, seven and nine aspect give results, so look for this to play a big role in your Moon's experience even if they aren't conjunct in the same house. Ketu/Moon connections can bring increased intuition (of a psychic level) if cultivated and nurtured. On the other end of the spectrum there can be a complete emotional numbing from constantly "cutting" over the emotions and essentially bypassing them altogether. As I mentioned with nakshatras ruled by Saturn, the same holds true for Ketu. If the Moon is in a nakshatra ruled by Ketu (Ashwini for example), expect this Ketu/Moon sensitivity to be relevant as well. Ketu cannot be an Atma Karaka (soul planet) because he is not of this world. The amount of Ketu in the chart through placement, nakshatras etc. however plays a valuable role in our sensitivity overall. Moon + Rahu Just like the tail of the serpent (Ketu), the head of the serpent (Rahu) brings his effects to the Moon as well. Instead of cutting attachments, Rahu increases them. He has a voracious appetite and increases obsession and desire, while also providing a sense of shadow or illusion with him. He is the ultimate veil of maya. When he touches the Moon, he brings his shadowed self with him. The Moon feels this sense of illusion and shadowed self, resulting in a toxic emotional body. It can feel extreme, intense and overwhelming much of the time. It can drive addictions, using drugs and alcohol to suppress or numb the emotional intensity. Rahu with the Moon distorts the sense of Self and often results in more extreme self esteem issues, playing victim, martyrdom and helplessness. I've seen a spectrum of narcissism associated with this connection which is essentially an extremely imploded self identity and very low self regard. Rahu can inflate the ego (he is smoke and mirrors and very worldly- of this world). Rahu gives his gaze to five, seven and nine houses away. So if he touches your Moon he can offer some of his illusions in this way as well. Nakshatras ruled by Rahu are notorious for high impact. Ardra for example is ruled by Rahu and is symbolized by a tear. There is intense emotion available through this nakshatra which can be used for many purposes. As with anything, it is how the experience is used. Do we choose to use our intensity with awareness, as a tool, or misuse it through ignorance and lack of awareness? Rahu reminds us to continue our path, to keep walking and to keep working with our shadow consistently. Rahu as an Atma Karaka (soul planet) will provide another element to sensitivity. Since Rahu is the planet of confusion, he can offer uncertainty and getting tangled up in deception. For sensitive types with Rahu AK, working on issues with deception and illusion are paramount. If you have Moon conjunct Ketu or Rahu (in the same house), note that these two are always seven houses away from each other. Your Moon will be impacted by both types of sensitivity. For more on Rahu and Ketu and the effects of these shadow planets go here. Other Things to Keep in Mind These are some sensitivity markers for the Moon, but the interaction of Moon, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu with the rest of the chart, the other planets, and the houses involved, all play a major role as well. Additionally, Nakshatras connect to the emotional body, and tithis (Moon phases) are connected to the mental body. The role of these, as well as the movement of the Moon daily as the nakshatras and tithis change, will also impact our sensitivity as they interact with our own personal chart. Additionally, the individual's dashas (planetary cycles) will increase or decrease the sensitivity markers within your chart. Keep this in mind as there will be time periods where you need to be more mindful of your sensitivity- or be forced to! In case it isn't obvious, the signs ruled by the Moon are sensitive by default. This includes Cancer, ruled by the Moon and a water sign. Taurus (where Moon is exalted) is not known for its sensitivity intrinsically, but depending on placement of the Moon in the chart and other factors, can display signs of sensitivity. Scorpio is a sensitive sign by default as the Moon is considered debilitated here and it's connected to the 8th house- the most vulnerable of the twelve houses. Read more about the sensitive nature of Scorpio here. Water signs will always be experiencing life from a "feeling" level and will increase sensitivity and receptivity as a result. Water and Moon are intimately intertwined with our emotional body and felt senses. The water signs include: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. The more water present in the chart- according to signs, nakshatras and the placement of these, will increase or decrease the sensitivity. Also, any planet in one of the hidden houses (6th, 8th or 12th) will make the planets therein naturally sensitive, more vulnerable as a result, and needing our extra attention/intention. The Moon in one of these houses will make its sensitivity doubly so. Fourth house is the home of our emotions (the heart center and lungs) as well as Mother, and naturally is ruled by the Moon. Keep in mind that all planets connected to the fourth house (either natally or by transit) will impact your relationship with the emotional body. This information can also be applied to one's navamsa (a 9th house divisional chart) and should be used to address strengths and weaknesses of the sensitivity markers. The navamsa relates to the inner realms of a being; how a person experiences themselves on the inside. In many regards this will share more details about how a person experiences their sensitivity and the impact it has on their overall life experience. With all of this said, it's important realize that the overall chart is a web of interconnected energies and stories- an imprint of your karmic map. So we must take a holistic approach when looking at this map. What I've given here are tendencies, and the many variables at play within the chart, will increase or decrease the sensitivity of a person based on the feeling level of the Moon, as well as the rest of the planets.

Sensitivity: Be Your Gift! My work is for sensitive individuals who have struggled- or are struggling- with using their sensitivity as the gift that it is. I often call us "Moon children" because the Moon represents our emotional body and intuitive wisdom in Jyotish. Read more about the meanings of the Moon here. Perhaps you've struggled like me most of your life. Years of depression, anger, challenging and destructive relationships, drug and alcohol problems, lack of motivation, confusion about life path and low self confidence. I've been sharing with you this past week about my own path and how my sensitivity has been challenging for me most of my life. You can read more about my struggles with emotional sensitivity and my favorite 9 tips that will help you care for your own sensitivity here. It's for you that I've created my Be Your Gift workshop series- to give you hope and to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so passionate about helping sensitive individuals use their sensitivity as the gift that it is, I created a four day teleclass dedicated to healing our wounds and creating more presence with this powerful gift. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that the emotional body can be the biggest tool of self awareness, self development and even spiritual growth. Most people do not experience their sensitivity as a gift. In fact, most people loathe their emotions, don't understand them, have not cultivated a conscious relationship with them, and certainly don't know that the emotions are directly connected to the intuition. If you don't know what your emotions are telling you, how can you hear the messages of your intuitive wisdom? There are markers for sensitivity in a jyotish chart and I've come to realize that this can be a very special tool, a blessing even, if used properly. It can lead us to our dharma, it can repair our family lineage, and it can change our lives for the better- but only if we know how to use it with TLC. You can read more about why I've developed an approach to working with sensitivity and using it as a gift here. Fortunately, we can create a healthy relationship with our emotions, learn to harvest the emotional messages more effectively and to use this wisdom as the seed for life changes. I share all the tools from my tool box during this Be Your Gift workshop series. All the tools, resources, jyotish wisdom, best practices I will share with you I've used my self and have been life saving including one of my favorite tools for emotional body awareness- somatic and expressive art therapy work. Sensitivity: Be Your Gift Workshop My Be Your Gift class series available once again, but only for a short period of time! This virtual class series will help you work with your sensitivity more consciously, cultivate more presence with it, and help you recognize it for the gift that it is. Here's what you'll learn in order to transform your relationship with sensitivity and your emotions: -Why sensitivity is your most powerful tool of self awareness and a life long gift. -How your sensitivity can be your most trustworthy ally. -How your sensitivity can build self confidence, trust in self and others, as well as self sufficiency. -What your body wisdom is telling you about this gift. -How to use your body's messages for deeper insights. -How to nourish and protect your sensitivity for maximum results. -Why sensitivity can be the missing link on your path and your dharmic journey. -What messages to look for in your emotional body in order for personal and spiritual growth. -How sensitivity is connected to the emotional body and the intuition, and why these are vital for your life. -The common mistake most people make when listening to their inner guidance systems. -"Best practices" for being a sensitive individual. -Why sensitivity is an indication of being gifted and talented.
