Cultivating a Soul Salve
/
Happy April,
I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and lean into a new season.
I was trying to find a theme to focus on for this newsletter by tuning into the messages I’ve been receiving, the energies that have been showing up lately, and the recurring issues that seems to be really prescient for people right now and nearly everything was pointing to a deep focus on ways to honor, soothe, and comfort the highly sensitive soul (like yourself). So, grab a cup of tea or something soothing and let’s look at ways that you can cultivate a Soul Salve for yourself this month which you can use at any time when you feel like you could benefit from some extra support.
When things get stressful, overwhelming, or intense; whether these things are coming from within your own personal life or on a larger scale outside of your personal life it can have an impact on the nervous system which can create some additional stress responses. As a highly sensitive person, this natural experience can be felt on what seems like a magnified level. While there are so many wonderful things that come with being highly sensitive, the deep feelings and empathy can make stressful situations well, feel more stressful. (I know that you know this all too well as a fellow HSP.) The good news is that there are things that we can do to honor our sensitivity while also helping to soothe and support ourselves even if we’re experiencing big shifts and intense energies.
The great news is that there’s no right way or one way to do this, there are just the ways that are right for you on any given day. This means you can change, shift, and update your support system at any time which removes any pressure to choose something that you’ll use forever. So, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good, letting go of any stress that you may feel holding space in your chest or stomach, good…remembering, this is something that is personal to you and meant to be a support system, and it can also be fun.
I’ve included a little exercise for you below which can help you to pin point a few things that may want to be added to your personal support system right now. You may want to get some paper and something to write with to jot down the things that come through for you. There’s no wrong answers and I promise you that you will receive messages and answers to the questions below. Just relax and breathe and have fun.
Imagine a space that’s just for you, it can be anything that you want it to be.
Maybe it’s a room that’s just yours, an office, a music space, a sunroom, a garden, an open air building at the sea, or something else completely, but it’s just yours. A space all for you.
Inside, fill it with the things that make you feel uplifted, calm, relaxed, soothed, and like you.
The you that feels peaceful, healthy, focused, happy, and __________________.
What does your space look like?
What does your space feel like?
What sounds do you hear in your space?
How does your space make you feel?
What items do you have in this space?
Why does this space feel calming and supportive for you?
Is there anything else you would like to add to this space?
How can you integrate these things into your daily life now?
What one thing can you do right now which will offer you some additional comfort in your daily life, now?
Is there anything else that you feel guided to do to support your overall sensitivity at this time?
Taking a few minutes to go through this exercise can help give you some insight into some things that your soul is personally wanting or needing at this time. You can use it as many times as you feel guided. Remember, seemingly small shifts lead to significant results. There’s no need to do all the things all at once, focusing on one or two things that resonate with you can cultivate a deep support system for you.
Some other things that have been coming up for many people lately and they may resonate with you too include, but aren’t limited to:
Needing to drink more water
Eating gentler foods, feeling guided to eat lighter and or healthier foods
Desire to move the body through gentle exercise
Participating in a gentle cleanse or fast (gentle being the key word here) This can include reducing refined sugars and alcohol.
Increasing full spectrum sunlight
Increasing vitamins and minerals
Reducing screen time and increasing listening to music or audio books
Beginning or revisiting breathwork whether it’s square breathing, yoga, deep breathing, or any kind of conscious breathing to help soothe and calm the nervous system.
Revisiting creative outlets to reduce stress and increase calm, this can also include coloring, gardening, and reading books for pleasure.
Removing clutter or items that are ready to be donated or recycled.
Increasing salt baths, hot tub time, or swimming
Focusing on your personal energy and cycles and honoring them to the best of your ability.
Rest and Sleep: if your body needs more of these things right now, please try to honor them to the best of your ability.
Journaling to help release and reset
Deep focus of making your inner circle and your home a place that’s calm, peaceful, and gentle.
I hope this very prescient theme about taking good care of ourselves is something that resonates with you right now. I know that it really resonates with me. As a deeply sensitive soul, sometimes it can be easy to focus on ways to help, support, and soothe others because it’s so natural for you. Sometimes, during this process, it can be easy to forget to do the same kindness for yourself. Please let this be a gentle and loving reminder that you are worthy of support and care too. I see you. I see you taking care of all the people you love in your world. It’s important to give yourself some grace, love, and care too. This month, please give yourself permission to cultivate your own soul salve in the ways that speak to you.
I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!
With all my love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo
