Meditation for the Highly Sensitive Person
Madisyn Taylor
2015 Sensitive people are in general drawn to meditation as so often we find ourselves adrift, at the mercy of a world that seems unconscious of its own shrill bombast. For us highly sensitive people it's hard to enjoy things like loud parties or rock shows; even going to the grocery store with its glaring overhead neon can be too much. People telling us to "get over it" just don't understand.
DailyOM co-founder Madisyn Taylor, on the other hand, does. A gifted voice in the field of meditation guidance, here she knows just what sensitive people need to hear. With her calm, hypnotic, measured voice she helps us create a cocoon of light from our heart center, and a basket outside ourselves for our sensitivities to soften up in. Finally, she invites us to levitate over a meadow, feeling completely supported as a beguiling cascade of soft music provide a lulling experience without putting us to sleep (making it ideal for lunch breaks at work if you can close your office door or find a quiet corner).
Before bringing us safely back to earth guides us through some affirmations with space for our vocal or thoughtful repetition. Personally, for me the most relevant is "leaving the house is a joy and a pleasure"; "I allow noises and sounds to flow right through me" and "I am safe in crowds, as I am connected to mother earth." If you can relate to needing to hear any of those affirmations, you are in the right place and Madisyn Taylor is the right guide. This very invigorating and centering half hour us with a clearer picture of our sensitivity, and the skills to sidestep our old panic pitfalls when facing challenges like crowded malls, concerts, business meetings, and first dates. We can return to a place of comfort and safety not by running home to our bedroom sanctuary at the first sign of stimuli overload, but simply re-connecting to Mother Earth with a few deep breaths, sheathing ourselves in that heart chakra light, and joining in the joyful chaos that is daily life. As ! long as our feet are on the ground, we're safe at home.
