The Sensitive You

The Sensitive You

  • Allow yourself to be stressed and accept that human beings are sensitive
  • The more sensitive you are, the more aware you are of life
  • The map of yourself has a lot of uncharted territories, every emotion is a new opportunity on the journey of self-discovery

The Koan

The Koan

Koan: Phrases that don’t rationally or logically make sense but provoke a sense of enlightenment. They inspire us to think outside the normal dimensions we use to interpret our reality and experience.

Koans are meant to guide you towards reassessing deep assumptions about yourself, removing the gating mechanisms of your perception so more of the raw data hits you.

Allow And Accept Your Feelings

  • Acknowledge the state of stress you are in and define with yourself how far it deviates from your ‘normal’
  • Be still – this gives you the opportunity to identify and state your feelings
  • Allow yourself to be stressed and accept that human beings are sensitive
  • The more sensitive you are, the more aware you are of life
  • Agitation can be balanced with compassion – our hearts have the capacity to love ourselves
  • We tend to banish the emotions we do not understand

Meditation: Allow And Accept

Meditation: Allow And Accept

  • Feel your hands, feet, and seat
  • Feel your shoulders, let them slump a little bit, and relax
  • Feel your jaw, loosen it about an eighth of an inch forward and down
  • Rest your tongue on the floor of your mouth
  • Begin to let the relaxation spread to your torso and middle body
  • Balance and calmness should be taking over with a certain ease
  • Bring your attention to the ‘atmosphere around the heart’
  • Be aware of any tension, don’t change it but be soft with it
  • Allow it to be there, be kind to the tension. Welcome it.
  • Eases the urge to reject your feelings. Accept them. Compassion counters agitation.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
