Medial Begabte und Sensitive sehen, hören, fühlen und spüren mehr als andere. Doch diese Gabe ist für viele oft eine Last, etwas, das sie immer wieder ungewollt übermannt. Ein ständiges Wechselbad der Gefühle, anhaltende Müdigkeit, körperliche Beschwerden wie Kopfschmerzen, Ohrensausen oder Verdauungsstörungen - all das sind typische Alltagssymptome dieser Menschen. Die nordamerikanische Heilerin Mary Mueller Shutan zeigt in ihrem Praxisbuch, was hinter solchen Problemen steckt. Und sie vermittelt die grundlegenden Techniken, um sich mental abzugrenzen und dadurch entspannter und freier zu leben. Damit Hochsensitive und medial Begabte ihre Fähigkeiten bewusst steuern und die eigene Medialität als das nutzen können, was sie ist: nämlich eine unerschöpfliche, positive Kraftquelle für das eigene Leben und auch zum Wohle anderer.
I wanted so badly to like this book. I didn't get anything helpful out of this, just perhaps the sense that the author was to some extent exorcising her own demons by writing it. There was a lot of emphasis on denouncing aspirational psychics/mediums, and umbrella statements about what you supposedly almost certainly will feel regarding your own abilities. I have been terrified, especially as a little girl, yes, but I have never once hated or wished these aspects of myself gone. And I don't believe I have the license to size up anyone else who reports experiencing phenomena either (I got enough of that from family and "friends," thanks). Also, and most importantly - we all have the option to some degree to develop abilities. And wouldn't that be a marvelous thing? Everyone taking a deep dive into their hearts and psyches? I'll take that over gatekeeping any day.
Don't let the title fool you, this isn't a gimmicky cash grab for the new age crowd. Mary is one of the most underrated spiritual thinkers and teachers currently out there. Although this book isn't for everyone, that's exactly why it's good for the right person.
The book is full of what amount to mental exercises primarily aimed at people who are struggling because they don't know how to regulate the information the world is giving them, what Mary calls highly sensitive people. If that sounds even remotely like you, there's something in here worth reading.
It's a short book with little fluff, which I like. I like authors who respect my time and who understand what their audience is looking for. Although all of Mary's books are quite good, this one is a great place to start if you're arriving at her work overwhelmed.
This book is a soul saver and an awesome good read. Well structured and practical advice, clearly based on life experience, it traverses the fine balancing line between informing and empowering me as reader while avoiding flaky spirituality. For anyone striving to come to terms with ‘sensitivities’ that can’t readily be discussed....it has helped greatly in positioning and defining my path going forward in a most positive and constructive way. A very warm & grateful thank you to the author for sharing her private world with wisdom.
Extremely helpful in understanding the HSP in your life
I was led to this book as I searched for resources to understand and help my HSP/psychic child. It provided a clear understanding of the levels of sensitivity and, most importantly, how a highly sensitive person can "stay sane" when bombarded with so much information from the spirit world. The only thing that prevented me from giving this book 5 stars was that some sections got to be very repetitive, with the author restating points that had already been made clearly in earlier parts of the book.
As a psychic, it is very difficult to find helpful coping methods and skills. Most books are geared toward people aspiring to be psychic. This book helps people who already are.
