Today I Sit In Nature

Today I sit in nature, and by "sit" I mean hike two miles through the lush Dupont and Pisgah forests while at a spiritually inclined event. My body is sore and I'm so tired. I'm reminded that having a baby is no reason to get out of shape and that I probably should have brought something with me to help with the pain, but all of that falls away when I reflect on the hike.

I must have touched every tree along the path. I fingers ached to reach out and run a finger lightly over leaves, so I let them. My palms were tingling with anticipation to lay my hand on a tree and enjoy the exchange between us, so I did it. I wanted to stop and talk to every plant and insect in the forests. I did those things. I was concerned what others would think of me as I reached out, the only sensitive in the group constantly touching flora. I could feel the eyes of the people on me. Some were joyful and some were curious. I wondered how out of a group of over 100 sensitives and spiritually inclined people, how was I the only one touching nature? Weird, right? Well no. No, it's not weird at all.

Each empath (or sensitive or spiritually inclined person or HSP) feels and connects with energy in a different way - a way as unique as they are. It's entirely possible that out of the entire community, I am the only one who felt so drawn to the forest, I had to communicate with it and touch it directly.

As empaths, we walk a different truth than 90% of the population, yet we effect everyone around us just by being ourselves. For us, we are the few effecting the many. I could have easily dropped my hand and walked along with the group, but instead, I followed my energy. I let it lead me and it lead me to peace, joy, and an amazing day communing with nature. I wonder what would happen if I let my energy lead more often? What would I find?
