When the world is feeling like too much,
Speaker:you have permission to do what
you need to do to care for your
Speaker:unique, powerful, and
potently healing energy.
Speaker:Hello and welcome back to
Remember Why You Are Here,
Speaker:a podcast for seekers and sensitives
where you can relax, receive,
Speaker:reconnect to yourself,
Speaker:and remember the most important
thing of all-why you're here.
Speaker:I'm Asia Suler and I wanted
to do something a little
Speaker:different for this episode.
I don't know about you,
Speaker:but I feel lately like
the world is too much.
Speaker:This is a really common thing
to feel when you are a sensitive
Speaker:person.
Speaker:Our nervous systems were not designed
for the worlds that we live in.
Speaker:None of our nervous systems
were, but if you are sensitive,
Speaker:then your nervous system especially
was not designed for this world with
Speaker:such an overwhelming amount
of communication, information,
Speaker:news stories coming in
from around the world...
Speaker:There can often be this feeling of
Speaker:overwhelm and helplessness
when we tune into just the
Speaker:vastness,
Speaker:the bigness of all of the
inputs that are here. And so
Speaker:for today's podcast,
Speaker:I wanted to revisit a video that
I had made on my YouTube channel
Speaker:because the four tools that I share
in this broadcast are the things that
Speaker:I still come back to all the time
when I start to feel overwhelmed and
Speaker:confused.
Speaker:And it's really common when you feel
this sense of too muchness to also then
just forget:What do I do? What do I do when I feel this way?
just forget:Because I'm too overwhelmed
to even access those tools.
just forget:I literally have a folder on my phone
just forget:where the title is,
just forget:"What to Do when You Feel Lost," because
when I feel lost or overwhelmed or like
just forget:things are too much, I forget.
just forget:And so I wanted to put this
recording here on the podcast in case
just forget:you too needed to remember.
I also wanted to
just forget:repost this today because I
am super busy at the moment
just forget:getting ready for Earth Angel
School, which is starting tomorrow,
just forget:April 23rd. I'm so excited about this.
just forget:Earth Angel School is an 11-week
spiritual school for my fellow sensitives.
just forget:The school was designed to support
you as a sensitive person to
just forget:really step into the true
depths of your mission in this
just forget:life, to really understand yourself,
just forget:on an emotional, physical,
just forget:spiritual level-to really see the gifts
that you came into this life carrying.
just forget:The school was designed to help support
all my fellow sensitives to stop having
just forget:energy flow endlessly out of you so you
can use that energy to really build a
just forget:life of your dreams,
just forget:to understand the true nature of who
you are and your spiritual gifts,
just forget:to reconnect to your soul's
mission on this planet,
just forget:learn how to receive direct guidance and
support from your spiritual guides-this
just forget:is really important and so helpful.
In the school,
just forget:we also explore how to channel information
directly so you can make the right
just forget:decisions for yourself,
just forget:how to create relationships that feel
balance and nurturing for your deepest
just forget:self. Relationships are such a
big topic for sensitive people,
just forget:and there's a way to be in them
that feels really nourishing and
just forget:good. We'll also really address how
to shift your focus away from always
just forget:creating harmony for others, to
creating a heaven in your own life,
just forget:to stop giving away your lifeforce so
you can use it to heal yourself and this
just forget:world. Because that's really
what it comes down to:
just forget:your life force is a
healing force in this world.
just forget:Your life force is here to
make big impact and big change,
just forget:and you doing what you need
to do to conserve and care for
just forget:and understand your own energy
and life force is really your task
just forget:as a sensitive person in this life.
And if nothing else in this episode,
just forget:I really want to give you
permission to do that;
just forget:when the world is feeling like too much,
just forget:you have permission to do what
you need to do to care for your
just forget:unique, powerful,
just forget:and potently healing energy. So if you're
interested in Earth Angel School and
just forget:you're listening to this before we
close the gateway on April 23rd,
just forget:then definitely go and
check out all the details at
just forget:AsiaSuler.com/EarthAngelSchool.
just forget:I would absolutely love to
see you there. So with that,
just forget:let's get into today's episode and explore
the four tools that are here to help
just forget:you when the world simply
feels like it's too much.
just forget:This video is for all
my fellow sensitives and
just forget:empaths out there, because let's be real,
just forget:being in this world sometimes
can feel really hard.
just forget:I know that I've struggled at times
with just the intensity of being on this
just forget:earth at this time. I'm Asia Suler writer,
just forget:teacher earth intuitive, and
author of Mirrors in the Earth,
just forget:and this video is a guide to four
steps to take as a sensitive and
just forget:empath so you can thrive in this world.
just forget:I use these four steps all the
time to help take care of my
just forget:sensitivity and to feel like I really
have a place where I can shine in this
just forget:world, where I feel protected,
safe, grounded, and alive.
just forget:So you can do these steps along with me
now or listen and try them at another
just forget:time.
Step one is to curate your
just forget:consciousness. As a sensitive,
just forget:you are deeply aware of
the world around you.
just forget:You are probably often tracking
everybody in your life.
just forget:You are keeping in touch with what's
going on in the world around you,
just forget:whether that's literally through the news
or just energetically. As sensitives,
just forget:we always have our feelers open so
literally everything is coming into our
just forget:consciousness at any time.
just forget:So if you want to thrive in this world
as a sensitive or an empathic person,
just forget:you have to be willing to curate your
consciousness. What does this mean?
just forget:This means that you have to be willing
to have boundaries on what you allow into
just forget:your field. For you, this might be,
just forget:I'm not going to look at my
phone first thing in the morning.
just forget:I'm definitely not going to look at the
news first thing in the morning because
just forget:I know the moment that I see those news
stories or the moment I click onto my
just forget:social media feed,
just forget:my brain is flooded with all of this
sensory input that then overwhelms
just forget:me from here on out. Another way to
curate your consciousness might be,
just forget:I don't have conversations on
the phone before 5:00 PM. Or,
just forget:I don't have conversations
on the phone after 5:00 PM.
just forget:I need that time to
clear my consciousness,
just forget:to be open to feeling my own
thoughts, my own feelings. Now,
just forget:these are just a few examples,
but you are going to know for you,
just forget:What is it that you need to do
to curate your own consciousness?
just forget:And if you're doing this along
with me right now, ask yourself,
just forget:what are the things you engage
in that bring your energy down,
just forget:that seem to drain your
energy? Is it social media?
just forget:Is it talking to certain people or
going to certain kinds of events?
just forget:Just take note of this. Perhaps
throughout your day today,
just forget:notice when your energy hits a dip
or a low, and then ask yourself,
just forget:What am I doing in this
moment? What am I exposed to?
just forget:What is coming into my consciousness? And
is there a way that I can curate this,
just forget:that I can put these boundaries
in place to make these decisions?
just forget:Because the reality is that we are
deeply affected by what comes into our
just forget:brains, into our fields,
just forget:into our consciousness. I realized this
from a young age that the books that I
just forget:read would affect my dreams,
just forget:the movies that I saw often made
me feel a certain kind of way
just forget:for days at a time.
just forget:I realized that I cannot watch scary
movies because I literally start feeling
just forget:like I am living in a
scary movie if I watch one.
just forget:It's just part and parcel of
me being a sensitive person.
just forget:So are there things in your
life that you are exposed to,
just forget:or you are choosing to expose yourself to,
just forget:that are actually really affecting
your consciousness in a way?
just forget:You have permission to curate that.
just forget:You have permission to decide when and
where you interact with some of these
just forget:things. So what are some things that
you can decide that you want to let go
just forget:of now or that you're only going
to engage with at certain times?
just forget:This is an empowering way to curate
what is coming into your field.
just forget:And by doing so,
just forget:you can actually allow your mind and
your nervous system to have the space
just forget:to tune into you, to tune
into your own energy field,
just forget:and what it is that makes you thrive.
So the second step goes along with
just forget:this as a natural progression, and this
is to envision your boundaries. Now,
just forget:we talk a lot about boundaries
as sensitives and empaths
because we need them so
just forget:much and because we're so naturally
boundaryless. In this exercise,
just forget:I want you to literally envision
a boundary around yourself.
just forget:It's one thing to talk about it;
just forget:It's another thing to actually use your
intention and your inner consciousness,
just forget:the power of your mind, and
envision these boundaries. Now,
just forget:your boundaries are going
to look specific for you.
just forget:Maybe your boundary will be a bubble.
Maybe it's going to be a fence.
just forget:Maybe it's going to be a bright light.
just forget:I love envisioning my
boundaries as a hedgerow.
just forget:So a hedgerow full of a diversity,
just forget:of plants and berries and flowers,
just forget:planted in a thicket of thorns
all around the edges of what I
just forget:conceive of the garden of my life.
just forget:So I see that hedgerow far enough out
for myself that I know I have space to
just forget:move and stretch and explore, but thick:
just forget:thick enough that the energies that I'm
not willing to have in my life have a
just forget:natural barrier,
just forget:where they're kept on the outside.
So take a moment now if you're following
just forget:along with me, and envision your boundary.
just forget:What visual is coming up for
you when you tune into this?
just forget:This boundary should be something
that makes you feel good,
just forget:that makes you feel protected,
safe, alive and spacious.
just forget:Because ultimately that's
what boundaries do for us:
just forget:they actually help us as sensitives
to feel more spacious in our life,
just forget:because there's more space for our
own energy to spread out. I recommend
just forget:envisioning your boundaries
at least once a day:
just forget:so either first thing in the morning
before you go about your day,
just forget:or perhaps at night before you go to
sleep, to really call yourself back home.
just forget:You can envision your boundaries
before challenging situations or maybe
just forget:before you're going into a public sphere
where you know your sensitivity is
just forget:going to be on alert. Really take
that time to envision that boundary,
just forget:see it in your mind's eye, use all
of your senses to engage with it,
just forget:and I promise you that energetic boundary
will be there to help protect you.
just forget:The third tip is to connect in
with your own individual essence or
just forget:frequency. You have an
energy that is all your own,
just forget:and you are here in this lifetime to
have that energy completely embodied in
just forget:your life. That's your goal.
That is your purpose in life,
just forget:to have your energy be what
animates your body, your form,
just forget:your life.
Now, as sensitives,
just forget:we're often very in-tune
with other people's energies,
just forget:the energies that are moving through the
world. This can be a beautiful thing.
just forget:It makes us really good
listeners, therapists.
just forget:It makes us really amazing practitioners.
just forget:It makes us really highly tuned
into the subtle realm. And,
just forget:it can get confusing. What's my energy
versus what's someone else's? Who am I,
just forget:versus somebody else?
just forget:So taking time every day to
envision and feel your own energy.
just forget:And here's how I love to do that,
just forget:and you can follow along with me now
if you'd like: Envision that there is a
just forget:beautiful light coming into your body now.
just forget:This is the light of your wider self.
just forget:This is the light of your home
frequency, who you truly are. Now,
just forget:if it helps you to do so, you could let
your eyes close to visualize this light.
just forget:I want you to see this light moving
into your body now completely and
just forget:totally into your energy
field. And notice,
just forget:what color is this light?
just forget:All of our lights are
going to be different.
just forget:Your color is going to be
different than someone else,
just forget:and this color holds a very particular
frequency: the frequency that is you.
just forget:So really take a moment now to see
this color. Don't overthink it.
just forget:Just let it arise into your mind.
just forget:And see this colored light flood
just forget:completely into your
body. How does this feel?
just forget:This light is moving into you so fully
that there's not space for anything else
just forget:but your own light, this
frequency that is you,
just forget:this beautiful, vibrant color that
carries the energy of who you are.
just forget:See this light flood completely
all the cells in your body,
just forget:so much so that now you're
radiating this light.
just forget:This is your home frequency.
This is who you are.
just forget:This is your innate energy, and
this is a place where you can rest.
just forget:So you can use this visualization anytime
you need. And this color is a gift.
just forget:This color has come to remind you
of who you are. So if you have time,
just forget:maybe sit down and write a little bit
about what this color brings up for you,
just forget:where you've seen this color
before, what it reminds you of,
just forget:how you feel when you
interact with this color.
just forget:This color will now be like a touchstone
for you to remember who you are,
just forget:and remember that feeling of being
at home with yourself and fully
just forget:ensconced and connected to your
own home frequency. Step number
just forget:four is to learn how to
come home to yourself.
just forget:So we've explored these three tools,
just forget:which will help you throughout your
day to stay centered, grounded,
just forget:and inside your own energy field,
which is your place of power.
just forget:Now we're exploring how to come home
to yourself at the end of the day or
just forget:whenever you need to.
As empaths and sensitives,
just forget:we're constantly exporting ourselves out
into the world to interact with people,
just forget:to be available for other energies.
just forget:So learning how to come home to ourselves
is an essential skill. I know for me,
just forget:what this looks like is often taking
care of the sensory aspects of my
surroundings:so putting on music that I really like,
surroundings:or maybe even putting on a white
noise machine, dimming the lights,
surroundings:lighting a candle, getting
into soft, comfy clothes.
surroundings:All of these sensory details
help me in my mind and in my
surroundings:nervous system to come back
into a state of relaxation,
surroundings:to feel available for this
process of coming home to myself.
surroundings:As sensitives, we're very
attuned to our environment.
surroundings:So whatever you can do to make
your environment feel soft, cozy,
surroundings:safe and less overwhelming,
surroundings:will help you come back home to yourself.
And then there's a visualization that
surroundings:I like to use at the end of the day,
surroundings:where I actually see
myself as a map of lights,
surroundings:and I notice where these little
lights might be out in the world,
surroundings:and I call each one back home, one by one,
surroundings:until I feel my own light complete
and intact and whole again.
surroundings:So the way that you come home
will be unique and special to you.
surroundings:Maybe it's being alone, maybe
it's being with your pet.
surroundings:Maybe it's sitting outside underneath
your favorite tree. Whatever it is,
surroundings:take some time today to think about
it, to figure it out, to ask yourself,
surroundings:What is it that helps me feel like all
the lights of myself are back home,
surroundings:safe inside of my being?
surroundings:Taking time every day to come back home,
surroundings:to be in your home frequency, to
bathe in the energy that is you.
surroundings:This is what gives you energy
to be out in the world.
surroundings:This is what gives you power to
be doing your work in the world.
surroundings:You as an empath, as a sensitive,
surroundings:have really important gifts
to bring to this world.
surroundings:And those gifts are integrally
tied in with your sensitivity.
surroundings:So learning how to take care of yourself
as a sensitive person in this world is
surroundings:how you give the gifts of your
being to this planet. So if you are
surroundings:loving this information about how to care
for yourself as a sensitive person and
surroundings:you want to know how to
be supported in that,
surroundings:and specifically how the earth can
support you in your sensitivity,
surroundings:then definitely check out my
book, Mirrors in the Earth.
surroundings:The book was specifically
created for other sensitives and
surroundings:empaths on the journey of learning
how to flourish in this world,
surroundings:by learning how to value themselves and
take care of themselves as sensitive
surroundings:people.
surroundings:This book is all about interacting with
the natural world so you can see the
surroundings:nature of who you are.
surroundings:And I've loved connecting with people
through this book being out in the world.
surroundings:So if you do read the book, I would
love to know, What resonated with you?
surroundings:Was there a specific chapter or moment
or plant in the book that really
surroundings:spoke to you? It has been such a blessing
to work with so many sensitives on my
surroundings:path because sensitive
people are magnificent,
surroundings:sensitive people have incredible gifts:
surroundings:gifts that only someone who is
as sensitive and empathic as
surroundings:you can bring. So thank you for
being who you are in this world,
surroundings:for the sensitive, empathic
person that you are.
surroundings:What you bring to this earth
is special, it's needed,
surroundings:and now more ever,
surroundings:your gifts are so deeply
needed on this planet.
surroundings:Are you still listening?
If so, you are my people.
surroundings:If you are still here,
surroundings:I wanted to remind you
about my voicemail service.
surroundings:I have a voice messaging center on my
website where you can leave me a voice
surroundings:message. And I have been
loving hearing from people.
surroundings:It's one of my favorite things.
surroundings:So if you have thoughts about this episode
or you have something you'd like to
surroundings:suggest for a future episode,
