Maria Mocha's Creative Writing & Photography Blog

I write this based upon my own, personal, lived life experience on this planet Earth. I am grateful to be in sync with my internal world and body. As a highly sensitive human, I can feel messages coming at me about other humans, sometimes animals and situations in subtle ways. There are emotions and feelings that we as humans can feel or sense about a situation or someone that make no sense in the rational world. These stimuli we may initially ignore, or dismiss, but we shouldn’t do so in reality. I have learned to pay attention to my own internal body signaling system to help guide and navigate me in life. They are signals and signs we need to pay attention too. For example, maybe I get chills on my arms, or my hair stands up on my body, or I have an ache in my abdomen after interacting or being around a specific person or persons. Often, I can sense dark and unhealthy energy in someone who is around or has been around in the space I am in. Too many times in my life I have met a person for the first time and had a sense of dread or an unshakeable sensation that something is very off with the person internally. Or I am scared or deeply unnerved after staring into someone’s eyes after meeting or talking to them. Now, I must say, I don’t just notice negative energy, I also can feel positive energy as well. If I am around a person whose aura is warm and inviting, it makes me feel at ease. Often an individual’s loving persona, if it is legitimate and sincere, it will permeate the atmosphere and I can be in sync with it. I have experienced this kind of phenomenon with children as well. They also have their own personalities and characters that I can feel and perceive as well.

I have learned to trust these instincts, and this has served me peacefully in my life. I believe we all have an internal GPS called our “gut instinct” or “intuition” that is imperative to activate and tune in life. When we fine tune it, notice it, make friends with it, listen to it, test it, believe it, we can maneuver through tough situations with our lives and sanity intact. I write this to encourage everyone to find their own internal navigation system, activate it and use it in the way that works for you. I can say for me, it almost never has let me down, when I followed it. Here is to a more embodied presence in life for everyone from inside your body to outside.
