Why my soul needs sacredness: a highly sensitive woman's truth

Why my soul needs sacredness: a highly sensitive woman's truth

The longer I walk the path of feminine wholeness—the path of embodied spirituality and slow, soulful living—

the more I feel a deep longing to celebrate sacredness in my everyday life.

By myself, and with others.

This sense of sacredness arises through the tenderness and deep feeling sensitivity of my heart.

It is that what makes me feel truly alive, connected and fulfilled on a deeper level.

I observe how depleted, drained, and lost I begin to feel when I don’t honor and fulfill this need for a while.

It reminds me, again and again:

Cultivating a sense of sacredness in my life is not a fancy, instagramable lifestyle trend, something that I wear for a short while as long it is in fashion—

No, it is a true and essential necessity for my holistic health and well-being as a highly sensitive woman, mother, and artist.

It is that what brings me back into deep conscious connection with myself and the universe.

Pausing. Re-centering in the present moment.

Turning inward to the temple of my heart to remember:

“This life is sacred and pure magic, and I am so blessed to experience and live it. Thank you. I love you.”

I know—it may not seem like a new truth.

We’ve all heard or read something like this on a postcard, a wall print, or in one of billions of social media posts.

And so, we may grow numb to this truth,

taking it for granted while we complain about the heaviness of mundane life.

The art lies in allowing this simple, beautiful truth to touch us—still.

Letting it sink into every cell of our being.

Deeper and deeper.

Layer by layer.

All the way to the core of our essence…

…from where it all begins.

And so I pray:

May I remain open, receptive, and sensitive to the sacredness of life—

to the divine wisdom and beauty she holds.

May she move me to tears,

break the shields and masks of false protection,

and help me feel safe and lovingly held

as I float in the deep oceans of my tenderness and sensitivities—

which connect me with all of existence,

within and around me.

May I speak and act in alignment with her,

whatever it is I do.

May this truth carry me.

And may I carry this truth—with my hands, my heart, and my whole being—

for as long as I live.

Lots of Love to you,

Pauline Käthe
