00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:19,040 [Speaker 0]
Welcome back to the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. Yo soy Julia Carmen. Today we are revisiting our archetype series, and we're sitting with the sensitives. Hmm. Interesting, huh?
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:30,840 [Speaker 0]
A sensitive is not the same as an empath. I'm sure you've heard that word empath, right? People mix those two up all the time. Not a big deal.
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:35,360 [Speaker 0]
Empathy is a human condition,
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:40,020 [Speaker 0]
and it is connected to this planet, Mother Earth.
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:53,080 [Speaker 0]
The sensi- sensitives feel everything, from the Earth all the way to the universal source of the all. Ain't that the coolest thing? Mm-hmm.
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:57,300 [Speaker 0]
And guess what? We have a companion for this one, too,
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:00,400 [Speaker 0]
the crying dragonfly,
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:04,879 [Speaker 0]
pukelea, the star of gladness,
00:01:06,020 --> 00:01:09,380 [Speaker 0]
and her message turns crying all the way around.
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:11,619 [Speaker 0]
Hmm. Check this out.
00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:13,940 [Speaker 0]
Cry for joy.
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:17,840 [Speaker 0]
Way cool, right? Mm. I love it.
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,940 [Speaker 0]
What the sensitives are,
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:27,100 [Speaker 0]
mirale, they have big human hearts. They feel everything,
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:32,640 [Speaker 0]
from the Earth to the universal source of the all.
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:37,940 [Speaker 0]
Now, mirale, how they different from empaths or the empathetic,
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720 [Speaker 0]
so mirale,
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:55,360 [Speaker 0]
[sighs] like I shared with you, the empath, you know, you've heard people say, uh, "That person's empathic," or, "You're very empathic." That means, in the human
00:01:56,380 --> 00:02:04,910 [Speaker 0]
way of being, it basically means that you really do feel people. You know, you feel me? [laughs] It's kind of empath, right?
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,160 [Speaker 0]
And
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,900 [Speaker 0]
an empath
00:02:09,940 --> 00:02:53,240 [Speaker 0]
person doesn't necessarily carry the sensitive archetype as their lead, and I think that's where it may get a little mixed up, 'cause I've had students come to SWOW, or folks coming to a retreat or something, something, right? And they go, "Oh, you're talking about an empath." And I go... The... And they, they say, "Oh, yeah, I'm real empathic," and I said, "Yeah," right? And then I'll go check in to go see what archetype they lead with, and it could be something like the queen, and it... And that seems kind of, right, like, whoa, what the hey, right? It... And because they're like, "I'm totally a sensitive," yeah?
00:02:54,380 --> 00:02:58,040 [Speaker 0]
So and if you folks remember that in
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:30,380 [Speaker 0]
all that we be, right, we lead as far as archetypes. There's many of them, and we lead one, you know, one to three different ones at any one given time. It's kind of a lead thing that we do. Like, yeah. And I've mentioned this before in other, uh, ones. It's, it's a frequency and a vibration of being. So an empath doesn't necessarily mean that you're a sensitive in the archetypal, um, sense of the word. Okay?
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,940 [Speaker 0]
[gentle music] Now, check this out. Again, they feel other people's stardust.
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:56,820 [Speaker 0]
We all have stardust. We're made of stardust, right? So it's a person that... All folks that live here on this planet, basically, that are from this planet and this solar system, have this stardust that is all around them, all encompassing them, right?
00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:06,920 [Speaker 0]
Everyone is surrounded by and made up of stardust, yeah? A sensitive picks it up, and here's the catch.
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,780 [Speaker 0]
They can catch more stardust than they need to.
00:04:12,860 --> 00:04:28,740 [Speaker 0]
That's the, that's, uh, you... It's not that a downside. It's just something to be aware of and have an understanding. So there's three things that a sen- sensitive must establish or be aware of or have consciousness of, and that's boundaries,
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:48,100 [Speaker 0]
bringing themselves into centeredness, and balance. All three are personal. So how you do that, how you, what I call chi chi soul time, how you bring yourself back home to yourself in a way that's, that's healthy for you, yeah, because a lot of folks will say, "Oh, you need to do this to, to be
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,340 [Speaker 0]
balanced or centered or have boundaries." Well, it's actually pretty personal.
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:54,760 [Speaker 0]
Mm-hmm.
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:01,080 [Speaker 0]
And it's actually done in the human experience. [laughs] Yeah?
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,890 [Speaker 0]
So boundaries are clarity.
00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:14,380 [Speaker 0]
It's not withholding, and I think we've talked about that also, too, but I just wanna share with you, sometimes people hear boundaries, and they think, "Oh, I'm gonna cut everybody off. I'm just gonna like..."
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:28,880 [Speaker 0]
I feel like doing that sometimes. [laughs] But the, that's just, you know, it's like withholding. I go like, "I'm gonna withhold even love for self," right? And so it's difficult to see that which we need to see if we're withholding.
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,000 [Speaker 0]
For a sensitive, boundaries are how we stop catching more stardust than we need.
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:39,940 [Speaker 0]
Isn't that cool?
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,300 [Speaker 0]
Yeah.
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:49,800 [Speaker 0]
Why is it imperative that sensitive know about their boundaries?
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,220 [Speaker 0]
Mm.
00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:53,680 [Speaker 0]
Because like it's said,
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:39,692 [Speaker 0]
like we're sharing with you today, it's imperative because there's gonna be this moment where you don't know where you begin and the other person ends. That happens a lot in relationships and things like that. It's kind of like, oh my goodness, and then you, you, you be away from them for a little bit. Or, yeah, or, or let's talk about a healthy relationship, right? You kind of be away from them for a minute and you kind of go, "Oh, I just needed that little space." Yeah? Mm. I know some people that use, um, how to establish their own boundaries. They take a nice shower, um, warm shower, and just allow themselves to release all the stardust that is not theirs.
00:06:40,952 --> 00:06:47,132 [Speaker 0]
Or another one would be to use sage or any kind of medicine,
00:06:48,332 --> 00:06:51,392 [Speaker 0]
external medicine of, uh,
00:06:52,872 --> 00:07:04,672 [Speaker 0]
uh... There's all different kinds, but I just think of sage, and burning sage in the home, and just kind of releasing the energies in the home, right? That it could be stardust from loved ones
00:07:06,232 --> 00:07:10,632 [Speaker 0]
that... Yeah. And then you feel it. Mm-hmm.
00:07:12,072 --> 00:07:13,172 [Speaker 0]
Center and balance,
00:07:14,492 --> 00:07:15,622 [Speaker 0]
coming back into
00:07:16,752 --> 00:07:19,552 [Speaker 0]
your own grounding and awareness,
00:07:21,032 --> 00:07:23,112 [Speaker 0]
so all that feeling doesn't run,
00:07:24,332 --> 00:07:27,292 [Speaker 0]
run you. Mm-hmm. Right?
00:07:32,012 --> 00:07:35,492 [Speaker 0]
So if you feel like maybe I'm a sensitive, but I don't know,
00:07:37,432 --> 00:07:55,952 [Speaker 0]
I'm gonna give you a little exercise here. So when you're in, uh... At the end of the day, and let's say you're feeling, um... Or you mean in the middle of the day [laughs] or anytime, and you're feeling a little sense of anxiety. Now, I'm not, I'm not gonna say do this and that's that, right? And, and I'm not a...
00:07:57,352 --> 00:08:28,912 [Speaker 0]
What I am is who I am, but I'm not gonna tell you what to do 'cause it's very personal. But sometimes we feel, like, a little bit of anxiety. I'll, I'll just place it here. I feel anxiety sometimes, and I have the tendency to pick up people's stardust. And I recognize that, so I'll do what I call a swipe. This is very personal. So I just, like, swipe myself with, I don't know, the wind. I'll go out and call the wind, and the wind swipes everything. My ancestors come and swipe everything away, yeah? 'Cause it's not mine, yeah?
00:08:30,972 --> 00:08:31,432 [Speaker 0]
Or
00:08:32,472 --> 00:08:33,792 [Speaker 0]
I take a hot tub bath,
00:08:35,132 --> 00:08:57,052 [Speaker 0]
or just a foot bath, [laughs] or I take a nap, or I make myself the most delicious salad, something nu- you know, like, wonderful. You know, the five senses of the being, of the all, and then just play some music and dance. Yeah? And then I notice, boom, gone.
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:15,772 [Speaker 0]
I'm not feeling the anxiety. I'm not feeling the whatevers. I have a rebounder, a little m- mini trampoline. I'll go bounce on that for a minute, get my organs kind of jumping up and down so that I can release that which anything that I have picked up, 'cause we do that.
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:23,272 [Speaker 0]
The dragonfly card that goes with this is crying dragonfly,
00:09:24,712 --> 00:09:27,132 [Speaker 0]
and I love this card. I really do.
00:09:28,212 --> 00:09:37,532 [Speaker 0]
It says, "Look to the sky. Do you see what I see? The falling stars are not crying. Make your presence known to us all.
00:09:38,592 --> 00:09:40,472 [Speaker 0]
Stay in the awareness of you.
00:09:41,792 --> 00:09:43,212 [Speaker 0]
Cry for joy."
00:09:45,872 --> 00:09:47,752 [Speaker 0]
The falling stars are not crying.
00:09:49,492 --> 00:09:50,192 [Speaker 0]
The refrain,
00:09:52,132 --> 00:09:54,452 [Speaker 0]
tears are not only grief.
00:09:55,732 --> 00:09:56,632 [Speaker 0]
Cry for joy.
00:09:57,952 --> 00:10:03,092 [Speaker 0]
For being who feels... For a being who feels everything,
00:10:04,552 --> 00:10:09,952 [Speaker 0]
the feeling is not the problem. Hmm. Isn't that cool? I'm gonna read that again.
00:10:11,332 --> 00:10:12,252 [Speaker 0]
Cry for joy.
00:10:13,892 --> 00:10:16,052 [Speaker 0]
For a being who feels everything,
00:10:17,532 --> 00:10:25,072 [Speaker 0]
the feeling is not the problem. Crying can be gladness, the start of gladness.
00:10:26,712 --> 00:10:31,932 [Speaker 0]
Make your presence known. Stay in the awareness of you.
00:10:33,312 --> 00:10:38,932 [Speaker 0]
The sensitive stays anchored in self while they feel the all.
00:10:40,972 --> 00:10:42,992 [Speaker 0]
[laughs] Isn't that cool?
00:10:47,152 --> 00:10:50,612 [Speaker 0]
So you stay anchored in the self of you
00:10:52,072 --> 00:10:53,192 [Speaker 0]
while you feel the all.
00:10:54,392 --> 00:11:05,362 [Speaker 0]
And when you s- when you be that, if you lead as sensitive, as a sensitive, is that, if that's one of your three that you lead, or that's one you want to cultivate, you just like, "What?
00:11:06,392 --> 00:11:15,912 [Speaker 0]
I'm just gonna throw this here. What? People say I don't feel," whatever. Well, kind of look at... 'Cause you can... We all have stardust, so you kind of look at it, right? You kind of go, "Ooh,
00:11:17,032 --> 00:11:18,692 [Speaker 0]
maybe I'll play with the sensitive."
00:11:21,392 --> 00:11:23,632 [Speaker 0]
Continue to be anchored in all that I am,
00:11:24,712 --> 00:11:26,492 [Speaker 0]
and then I will see the all.
00:11:29,532 --> 00:11:33,272 [Speaker 0]
If you are a sensitive, the still, small voice,
00:11:34,892 --> 00:11:35,312 [Speaker 0]
yes,
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:41,132 [Speaker 0]
that's me. The one who feels everyone and everything,
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,452 [Speaker 0]
and gets swept under,
00:11:45,792 --> 00:11:47,192 [Speaker 0]
that's the missing boundary.
00:11:48,912 --> 00:11:49,892 [Speaker 0]
The invitation,
00:11:50,972 --> 00:12:01,132 [Speaker 0]
establish your boundaries, your center, your balance, then you can feel the universe and stand, and still stand in you.
00:12:02,392 --> 00:12:05,252 [Speaker 0]
Oh, my goodness, and cry for joy.
00:12:06,532 --> 00:12:07,892 [Speaker 0]
Ooh, amen.
00:12:15,832 --> 00:12:18,952 [Speaker 0]
So that's the sensitives. Hmm. Don't you just love it?
00:12:20,142 --> 00:12:27,112 [Speaker 0]
The ones with the big heart who feel everything, from the earth to the universal source of the all.
00:12:28,172 --> 00:12:33,232 [Speaker 0]
The medicine for the sensitives is not to feel less.
00:12:34,292 --> 00:12:37,842 [Speaker 0]
Hmm. Don't you just love that? Hmm. It's boundaries,
00:12:38,952 --> 00:12:40,932 [Speaker 0]
center, and balance.
00:12:42,812 --> 00:12:45,382 [Speaker 0]
Boundaries are clarity, not withholding.
00:12:46,402 --> 00:12:50,392 [Speaker 0]
That's how we stop catching more stardust than we need.
00:12:52,352 --> 00:12:53,632 [Speaker 0]
And crying dragonfly,
00:12:54,872 --> 00:12:58,152 [Speaker 0]
look to the sky. Do you see what I see?
00:12:59,212 --> 00:13:04,852 [Speaker 0]
The falling stars are not crying. Make your presence presence.
00:13:05,892 --> 00:13:06,922 [Speaker 0]
[laughs]
00:13:07,992 --> 00:13:14,612 [Speaker 0]
I like that because it's presence, like your presence, and then presence like presence. You're gifted. Mm-hmm.
00:13:15,632 --> 00:13:16,992 [Speaker 0]
Be known to us all.
00:13:18,012 --> 00:13:20,692 [Speaker 0]
Stay in the awareness of you.
00:13:21,772 --> 00:13:25,192 [Speaker 0]
Cry for joy. Hmm, mm, mm.
00:13:27,292 --> 00:13:36,712 [Speaker 0]
Okay. The crying dragonfly, along with all her companions, lives in the dragonfly card deck at the School Without Walls.
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:45,722 [Speaker 0]
Okay. We'll keep going next week with a new episode on the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. Until then,
00:13:47,012 --> 00:13:48,092 [Speaker 0]
if you're a sensitive,
00:13:49,212 --> 00:13:51,732 [Speaker 0]
set your boundaries and cry for joy.
00:13:53,292 --> 00:14:00,372 [Speaker 0]
Muchas gracias for hanging out with us week after week. Share this with someone who feels everything.
00:14:01,672 --> 00:14:02,152 [Speaker 0]
Amen.
00:14:04,772 --> 00:14:08,352 [Speaker 0]
