The HSP’s Creed of Calibration: Getting Into Alignment

When you can say without hesitation and with complete acceptance the following Creed of Calibration, you will know that you are where you want to be.

• I am an HSP. I am highly sensitive. I love that about myself.
• I love that I see the world through a different lens.
• I love that the way I see the world invites me to see, feel, and experience myself in a whole new way.
• I love how every day I step more deeply into my higher, truer, self is a day of conscious awareness, satisfaction, and purpose.
• I love that every day I have the courage to live an authentic life is a day I receive more and more validation that I’m on the right path for me as a talented, capable, phenomenally awesome HSP.

Do you feel the high frequency of these words in the Creed of Calibration? Each and every word is important according to the vibration it ripples out into the world.

“Calibrating” is a matter of tuning in, aligning with who you really are.

It’s taking the time to feel through the process of getting to know yourself in a whole different way…in a way that does not (necessarily) conform to the world’s standards, but your own. It’s about finding the alignment inside you that has always resided and always will reside there, right where you need it and where it’s supposed to be. Standards of integrity, honesty, values, beliefs, and what you hold dear.

• Have you studied meditation, but been unable to shut off your mind?
• Have you been guided to “put a bubble of light” around you to protect you from external energies—to shield yourself from the things that bother you?

The problem is that when there are so many things that bother you, you don’t stand a chance of shielding yourself against them, certainly not 100% of the time. You spend every bit of your waking energy avoiding, protecting, defending, and deflecting, which means there is no time left for anything else. For most HSPs, even sleep becomes difficult because all you can do when it comes time to close your eyes is review all the missteps of your day. All the ways in which you did not prepare enough, do enough, say enough. When you weren’t right. When you were triggered. What something set you off and you reacted in a way that hurt yourself or someone else.

Every day is a question of “When will this ever end?“

The answer is: It never ends…unless you ask a different question.

High Sensitives like me—like us—can be really good at what we do. For example, focusing on the writing of others and then being praised for “channeling their messages” allowed me to stay safely in the background. To stay safe in a world where too much attention meant taking responsibility for the attention I might receive. We may have a deep desire to be “seen,” but we also have an even deeper need to stay hidden. Being discovered means being known for the fearful mess we can feel we are and are ashamed to be.

If any of this resonates with you, please know that the way ahead for you can be very different. You don’t have to wait until you’re 30 or 40 or 50 or more to generate and feel inspired by the mere fact of living life.

Tack the HSP’s Creed of Calibration up on your wall or magnetize it to your frig. Make sure you sign it to indicate you agree with its tenets. Whether you believe the words or not, try to let them in, experience them, feel them, feel their resonance.

That resonance is the frequency of you.
