We are often most in touch with our sensitivity when we are in emotional situations. If we feel deep compassion for another person, we can really sense their energy. When we fall in love, our energy is revitalised as our senses heighten. We feel temperature more keenly, and our sense of smell is often heightened. I do sense Spirit through smell at times, but more commonly I experience dramatic changes in temperature when I am reading for people. I get really hot, then I can become cold and, when Spirit come in, I can be really freezing. It is a particular, unusual kind of cold, which I’ve become used to recognising. When I am working with a client, Spirit just pour energy through me and, if I need to send a healing thought to someone, that heat comes through. Again, through years of practice I have learned to recognise this as the presence of Spirit.

Often I find that it is the simple day-to-day experiences that bring me sensory gifts – from the sound of the rain to the mist in my garden, anything that is beautiful can massage my senses back to life, even when I’m feeling tired. In the same way, when you are not feeling tuned-in or at home with yourself, it can be revitalising to remember your sensitive experiences. You can also practice the Centring exercise (see page 32) to help ground you when life feels frenetic. It’s important to understand that developing your sensitivity can mean being more sensitive to your own needs as well as those of others.

My sensitivity gives me information about other people. I try not to judge what I sense; I simply register it for what it is – information. As well as listening to Spirit, I pick up information from a person’s emotional body, or energy – we all do this, and usually call it ‘instinct’. More precisely, this is soul knowledge at work, with one soul picking up information from another without conscious awareness. It explains why we may take an instant like or dislike to someone. In a positive sense, we often express this as ‘love at first sight’.

I usually sense passionate emotion visually and vibrationally. When I am in a room with someone who is angry for example, I experience their emotions as shards of glass pricking my body, and sometimes I’ll see intense colour around them. If I encounter someone who has just had an argument, their energy feels spiky. Sadness always feels heavy, and looks grey. And if someone unconsciously enjoys being a depressive, you can feel them for a long time after you’ve been in their company. They stay connected to you out of their own need – unknowingly, they have become energy leeches. In the past I have experienced this simply by thinking about them and feeling my energy levels drop. So, honing your senses can help you tell the difference between someone who is habitually down, and a person who is reacting to difficult circumstances. In this way, you can take note of those whose energy is invigorating, and enjoy the stimulation of their company and, where necessary, distance yourself from those who drain you.
