In the last year I have been guided to two books that have changed my life: Divergent Mind and Unmasking Autism. They have opened me up to understand patterns from my early childhood – all the way back to before I could walk. I am now embracing myself as a highly sensitive person who has had little guidance or support in understanding how to navigate a world whose standard does not make space for my way of processing and understanding.
Express neurodivergence or increased sensitivity in our genetics. Or it may possibly be from ancestral trauma we carry. Alternately, it may be from trauma experienced in this life – emotional or physical – that has required a shift in the way we process and understand reality. Some of us are experiencing heightened sensitivity as a result of increasing tensions in our world. Regardless of where you fit in this continuum, Mindfulness Practice for Highly Sensitive / Neurodivergent People will address you where you are right now, offering you tools to balance yourself and navigate your life.
My ten years as a teacher of mindfulness and meditation have taught me that people find different ways of accessing center. While for some it is through the breath, it is not uncommon that those who’ve been traumatized or feel highly sensitive may not find the breath a calming focus. For these individuals, another anchor may be needed to find balance.
Since the 1980s I have studied and offered workshops balancing energy through the chakras found in Buddhist and Hindu traditions. These energy centers correspond to nerve plexuses in our bodies and affect our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
This course will dive deeply into the seven chakras, each one associated with specific energies, colors, scents, sounds and tastes. You will practice and explore each chakra’s energy and its capacity for balance, healing, well being and growth. Upon completion of this course you will have seven entry points from which to design mindfulness practice that suits your needs and sensitivities.
Note: This course is not therapy nor is it intended to serve where therapy may be indicated.
Dates/Times: Wednesdays, 6:00-7:15 PM Eastern, Jan 21, 28, Feb 11, 18, 25, Mar 4, 11
Zoom sessions will be recorded for easy reference.
If you would like additional support in this course, you may register for a 45-minute session with me to talk about the specifics of your sensitivities and get guidance for your unique life journey.
Reduced Spiritual Direction Fee: $60.
