![]() Elaine Aron & Jacquelyn, 23rd HSP Gathering in Santa Barbara, CA |
This was a synchronistic experience for me and is how I (eventually) met Elaine Aron, which led to the HSP Gathering Retreats Elaine and I co-created in 2001.
According to Elaine, approximately 15-20% of the human (and animal) population are thought to have a more finely tuned nervous system. This in turn, causes us to be more susceptible to environmental stimuli, whether that stimuli is positive or negative. The more positive the environment, the more we thrive; the more negative the environment, the more we suffer. Thus the HSP trait can be a blessing and a challenge, depending upon the environments we find ourselves in and depending upon how we have learned to cope in those environments.
If this sounds like you, you may be highly sensitive.
