I'm pretty sure I am an energy witch 🧙🏼
When I was little I could figure out what was inside my wrapped birthday presents before opening them..I just knew. It's like I could read the energy of them and figure out what was inside…not so fun for my parents trying to keep it a surprise but it was a really fun game for me, and as I grew older that ability turned towards people.
Reading people is my magic trick. I can look at someone and very quickly sense what they might be feeling or working through. I can see through the surface (and cut through the (…you know what…) pretty quickly.
I can feel whether someone is safe to be around or whether they have other intentions. I can tell pretty quickly whether they are someone I want in my space or not. And when I put the intention there, always with consent first, I can drop into their energy and feel what they are feeling in more detail, including where energy feels stuck in their body. This is also a big part of what makes it easy for me to hold space for people… people tend to feel seen and heard in a way they are not always used to.
I have sat in many psychology sessions over the years where I've voiced how much I struggle to be around certain people because I pick up on and absorb their energy so intensely, it can absolutely drains my soul and I get so affected. I need so much time by myself to be able to recharge and to come back to myself. I was told I needed to get better at managing my boundaries, to stop avoiding situations and people and to learn how to be less affected. I have tried everything to help with this and what I've come to learn is that it was never a weakness, it is my superpower…and I get to choose who I spend my time with and for how long I have the capacity for. It doesn’t make me weak or sensitive in the “wrong” way it, it simple is me. So instead of learning how to "set boundaries" I say forget that. I choose to be around people who feel good to be around and I choose how long I want to be there before it starts to effect my own energy. This way I get to show up as the most whole person of myself not just for me but for the people around me.
And cool thing is…My Human Design backs this up completely.
My line 2 profile means I carry natural talents that come easily to me, reading people being one of them. As a Projector I need a lot of time alone to recharge. My splenic authorty is all about the knowing and having the instinct for people and places. My open ego, undefined emotional centre, undefined sacral and open identity centre essentially make me a open channel for stepping into and feeling other people's energies. My channel 43 to 23, the channel of the freak to the genius, means I need a lot of alone time and am particularly sensitive to sound and energy. I also hold gate 13 as my concious sun which is all about listening and my design sense is Feeling meaning I have a 6th sense and pick up on ALL the vibes….
The point of all of this is that so many of the things we think of as struggles or weaknesses are actually our greatest gifts. And when we learn to see them that way, from an empowered place, everything shifts.
So my love, what is something you have always seen as a struggle that could actually be your superpower?
Big love,
