Honouring my teacher davidji as he boldly goes on another wild adventure. Love Levitate London AKA Ryan Nell ###
To all my fellow introverted HSPs. I’m back on the road again stepping waay beyond the edges of my comfort zone. Sharing space with thousands of people in the airports, hundreds on planes,and all this before I even arrive at my destination and do the thing I looovvvve. Sharing my signature destressifying techniques, guiding meditations -and teaching people how to heal their heart.
But the getting to and from is a hero’s journey in itself.
For those of you who arent familiar with introversion, highly sensitive traits, or hyper empathy - we absorb rapid fire wave after wave of all the facial expressions, eye contact, verbal sounds, physical touch, non verbal movements and in my case - all the energy of people and places.
It can be very challenging, overwhelming and exhausting. Here’s how I cope and thrive in these scenarios::
1- I meditate in the Uber on the way to the airport. ALWAYS
2- entering the terminal, I take a few deep breaths and scan everything in my view - I then lock in on my shoes -feel my groundedness and feel how secure my feet are. Then I put on my noise cancelers (I love my Bose headphones and promax AirPods in NOISE CANCEL MODE).
3- then rather than seal myself for protection I DO THE OPPOSITE. I’m not here in this incarnation to live a fear-based existence.The highest vibration always wins. I’m here to vibrate at the highest level not let fear drive my decisions. So I practice a 5-minute metta meditation, breathing in the healing love of the universe right into my heart and flowing it back out to everyone in the airport - EVERYONE- unconditionally no matter what they believe in, who they voted for, or what their ethnicity or culture is.
4- I celebrate my true conduit nature. I’m a hole in the flute thru which the breath of the divine flows. Holes can’t hold grudges and can’t take anything personally. And they can only channel energy not hold onto it.
5- then I’ll crank up a long song by Isley bros or Metallica and let it flow into every cell in my body.
6- go into silence, board the plane - close my eyes & meditate for 20 minutes
7- and I just float for the rest of the flight, deplaning, and back out into the world.
