I used to have the frequent thought, "how is a person like me ever going to make it in the world?"

I had no concept of how I would ever "do life" the way other people do being as sensitive as I am. 

Discovering the work I now share has completely shifted the way I'm able to move through the world. It takes persistence, belief and a willingness to move through a LOT of energy, but I've also discovered a few tricks along this path. 

Navigating the world as a highly sensitive human is different. We don't bulldoze through energy the way many people do. Creating practices and perspectives which allow us to thrive, release and create is essential.

I was entranced and excited by what I saw in this reading of Eucalyptus. This month I chose a plant which offers stability and healing amidst transformative elements. I looked into two ways in which this medicine has been used throughout time on Earth. 

The first was located on the Southwestern tip of Australia. An artist was harvesting the "molting" bark of a Eucalyptus to soak and make into paper. I didn't at first understand the "medicine" of paper, but then realized it was to be transformed into art. Using Earthen elements to paint and create with brought a sense of connection to Earth which many of us have lost.

In the second, the medicine of Eucalyptus was activated through a storm. The volatile oils from its leaves released the hold of some darker forces that held on after an event of great loss and grieving.

As many cultures throughout time have experienced genocide, we often experience the perception that their healing information is lost. This is not so. We can access it at anytime though our natural clairvoyance or other psychic means. The ancient spirit of Eucalyptus holds witness to the events and the core of what medicine holds for us.
