Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.” ~   Edgar Allen Poe ~

One in five people are born highly sensitive or are HSP ~ that means 20% of our population is highly sensitive.  Being a HSP means your nervous system absorbs & processes ten times more information than an average person.  Your nervous system is more sensitive to subtleties, your brain processes and reflects more deeply, you are prone to over stimulation, get easily stressed out and overwhelmed.

Being born HSP interacts with experiences of trauma in childhood ( due to being misunderstood) producing symptoms of depression, anxiety and shyness later in life.

HSP are born with special antennae to receive subtle signals.  Though this is physically & emotionally exhausting, it is also a gift.  HSP can comprehend faster, are generally more aware than others of beauty and pleasure, are better able to sense other’s moods.  HSP know what is needed to improve their environment, take greater delight in Art & Music and are conscientious.

When entering a room, HSP are able to pick up subtle nuances, sounds, smells, energy; sometimes even catch some lingering energy from an argument that happened before they entered.  HSP are also very creative, intuitive, artistic and detail oriented; they have stronger emotional reactions, are spiritual, and posses a rich & complex inner landscape.  HSP are loving and caring and feel a deep internal connection with people, animals, plants and the earth.  Conclude that their spiritual life equals their physical life.

The darkerside of this extreme sensitivity is that they quickly and easily loose footing due to loud noise, harsh light, chaos.  Even particular medicines, foods, or smells can throw them off.  HSP will need time and rest for recuperation often.  It is important to learn at an early age how to protect Self, as HSP are more often than not, extremely misunderstood.

Special gifts such as these bring with them special responsibilities.  However, not many people are aware, and a highly sensitive person (HSP) rarely gets recognition.  While a HSP needs more comfort and attention than the average person, unfortunately they often get pushed aside without being valued or getting acknowledgment for their positive attributes.  HSP quickly get the message that things are  not ‘normal’ according to the ideal, and develop at early age a negative self image.  Many HSP  hide their true nature and try hard to adjust themselves into our fast paced, loud and chaotic society.  Unfortunately HSP will burn out fast and need periods of rest and quietude.  Because of  ’shame’ infested feelings, many HSP live in solitude and therefor it is not a known fact in their circle of family & friends that they are indeed highly sensitive with special needs.

Not much has been written on this subject; many people are unaware and unable to detect and/or aid a HSP.  Often when a HSP comes out with their truth, they are ridiculed and considered a nuisance.  This shows that the negative aspect of HSP is more on the forefront than their positive attributes.

20% of humanity is highly sensitive.  Different cultures have different reactions toward HSP; in Asian culture and Native American Indian culture HSP are regarded much higher than in Western Society.  In Western society, outgoing, bold, extroverted personalities are rewarded, while sensitive personalities are treated as a flaw that can be conquered and defeated.

“HSP’s could contribute much more to society, if they received the right kind of attention.”     ~ pioneer in HSP ~ Dr. Elaine N. Aron

With awareness and education (understanding), much can change, and HSP, such as myself can live happier, more peaceful lives and develop deeper, more meaningful relationships.  One negative aspect of HSP is that we quickly get into ‘overload’ mode, because of the many subtle stimulants we pick up, from the outside (sound, light, smell) as well as inside (thoughts, feelings, ideas, memories).  We also pick up energies from other people around us, which will exhaust us mentally as well as emotionally.

” It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.”   ~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Physical symptoms, such as blushing, sweating, heart palpitations, feverish feelings, will often turn into high adrenaline and tightening of muscles.  The body then will go into ‘fight or flight’ mode and produce Cortisol (a stress hormone; the most potent glucocortitoid produced by the human adrenal) which in turn can stop digestion, metabolism ( causing stomach disorders), and other functions ( bone & muscles get weak/fragile, cell regeneration is decelerated).  This is the body preparing for emergency.  This influence will result in internal confusion and the HSP will often times just  ’give up’.  Cortisol can also produce feelings of fear.  When this goes undetected or gets ignored over time a HSP can become severely depressed.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

One of the first things we can do to move forward from this, is to repair our ‘low self image’ .  It is significant to recognize that we have the inner capability to ‘cleanse & heal’ our selves.  Everybody does, not just HSP.  There are ways to change thinking and behavior.

By training the mind to move from problematic thinking into visualizing desires, we step away from pain, fear and judgment.  We embrace desires and needs, working on what makes us peaceful and happy.  As we get older we find our self apologizing less about who we are, developing a sense of pride towards our special gifts.  And when  misunderstood, we’re able to walk away rather than trying desperately to ‘convince’.

It is essential to realize that we are responsible for our own feelings and sensitivities, and that we, as HSP, learn to protect ourselves properly against societal ridicule, knowing that we are oft misunderstood and will not be accepted immediately nor unconditionally.

“Health is defined as Inner Peace.”  ~ Jerry Jampolsky,  Author of  ~ “Principles for Attitudinal Healing” ~

It is vital that we (HSP) learn to claim quietude to gather our ‘self’.  We can do this by being concrete about ourselves, for instance when in conversation we can say, “Hold on a minute, let me think about this.” or “Give me a moment to gather my thoughts”.  This will allow time to go inward and breathe, to conclude what we are actually feeling.   Effective communication is one of the most important life skills you can learn.  For HSP communication is KEY, and taking a moment to gather self is a sign of strength and inner knowing (self knowledge).

It is beneficial to stay centered, balanced at the core, when coming into contact with others, as we are quick to let their energy envelop and overpower our own.  We can build a strong centered self by meditation and breathing exercises.  Some other activities that have calming & centering effects are gardening, writing, painting, reading, massage, yoga, listening to beautiful music…etc.

A heavy load for HSP is that it is impossible to bypass the energy of others.  When I encounter angry people, full of negative energy, I suddenly become negative as well, and often find myself agitated long after I have passed them by.   It is therefor imperative to learn to protect ‘self ‘, to find ways to build resistance in handling such situations. Find neutral ground inside the heart, so that energetic information can be processed properly. A HSP who has a strong inner core, a strong sense of ‘self’ will be able to withstand the energy of others.

Fear & insecurity is another pitfall of HSP.  But if/when we change the labels around, in other words start thinking differently, we can embrace the signals as signs of change and we can show gratitude towards self, for the capacity to recognise.

When HSP are paired with non HSP, they find themselves less  happy because they demand more depth in their relationship in order to be satisfied, reflect more and therefor worry more.  They will also see more threatening consequences in their partners’  flaws and behavior.  Most people are ignorant to the reality of the drastic differences that exists among nervous systems.   HSP are better off partnered with other HSP, as they understand each other better, and are more accepting of the emotionality attached to HSP.

Always go inside ‘Self ‘ , and take inventory of thoughts and feelings.  Accept ‘Self ‘  as is, and develop forgiveness and pride.  Find ways to control emotion and balance at the ‘core’.

~ Always find peace ~ Never dwell in fear or shame ~ *  ~ Don’t look for confirmation from others ~*~ Give your ‘Self ‘ permission to be and LOVE WHO YOU ARE!

A Review of the Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch

The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch is a product being sold by the MLM Company Nexagen USA. Right now about 67% of americans are overweight. This includes me. Basically if you aren’t working out at the gym regularly or on a low-carb diet or just on the Standard American Diet (SAD Diet), then you will more than likely be over weight.

It would be nice to think that in this modern world you could eat what you want, drink what you want and just go about your day and everything will be just fine. But unfortunately in these times that’s not the case. Most of the foods you buy in a grocery store, and especially foods you eat at Fast Food Restaurants are loaded with sodium and carbs. And most people can’t discipline themselves enough to eat low carb foods at home which would help big time with weight loss.

So the Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch came out as a solution for the rest of us. There are a plethora of products out there that are designed to help you lose weight, and almost none of them even hold up to FDA standards much less work. This weight loss patch had to go placebo controlled, double-blind clinical trial before it was publicly released so the product would be able to perform to its advertising claims.

The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch isn’t a magic solution for weight loss. In fact, it’s just one aspect of it. You still should be on a low-carb diet if you are overweight, and you should still be in the gym working out at least 3-4 days per week doing at a minimum circuit weight training with free weights or nautilus equipment, as well as cardiovascular workouts such as the cross trainer or exercise bicycles. Use this patch only for that extra push.

Some of the benefits of this patch is that it is 100% natural, so you won’t be taking anything artificial into your system. There is also no ephedra added. The Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch has been research tested and proven to actually perform on subjects before it was released. This patch can increase your bodies metabolism as well as lean muscle mass while simultaneously burning fat. Not only will this product work for weight loss but it will also help you maintain your current weight or goal weight once you reach it.

The downside of using the Jen Fe Fat Loss Patch is that it can be a problem to put this patch on certain areas of your body if you have sensitive skin or areas of your body that don’t respond well to this adhesive. Seeing results from this Weight Loss Patch can take 90 days or longer. This is not an overnight deal, it’s a real long-term solution for losing weight and is not a magic patch. You can start on this plan for as little as $199.00 dollars depending on what package you get.

HELP! Face Eczema, IMAGES INCLUDED?

Ok, this is a bit long but it will only takes about 5 minutes of your time, I really need help on this problem, thank you! :(

I had been applying steroid cream for a long perioid, and then on and off use for 4 years, and 6 weeks ago I decided to stop using those cream because it has worsen my condition, and making my face sensitive to the sun (I guess my skin has been thinned). I vowed to myself I’m not going to use back hyrodocortisone or any steroid cream anymore. I’ve spent a fortune for this problem and been to many dermatologists and ended up transferred to a senior skin specialist dermatologist, one of the best in my area but still pretty useless. My table has a big pack of prescription creams to the point that I think I can open a pharmacy. I’ve also tried Elidel and Protopic but it didn’t help.

Anyway, lo and behold when the moment I stopped using the steroid 6 weeks ago, I suddenly had a left rash small patch appearing on around my left smile line area, and one big patch on my right. So I went cold turkey for 2 weeks and cleansed my face with only water. During that period the areas were flaking and dry, and by the end of that 2 weeks I finally washed it with a gentle soap, Cetaphil, and I realised the small patch of rash on the left side got cleared itself, but, the right big patch of rash was still, damn red, painful, peeling, and itchy. I did a research and found out that the real Aloe Vera plant might help the condition so I tried and after one application it took away the pain. But the redness, itchiness and peeling were still there. So my aunt’s friend passed me a bottle of enzymes, made out of natural ingredient and I applied it for a week, and the rash went off. Then, another one appeared around my mouth, so I applied that enzymes and it week off after a week. Then this time, a rash appeared on my right cheek and also a light rash on my right chest, so I thought this time the enzymes would help but after 5 days of applying that thing, the rash on right cheek and my chest became more, so I freaked out and stop the using the enzymes water.

I didn’t take a picture of my chest, but I took a picture of my right cheek: http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/6934/rashhy6.jpg

Then I googled and deicded to try out this cream called California Baby Calendula Cream, I read many positive reviews so I decided to give it a try.

After a week I guess it healed my condition, the rash on my chest almost disappeared and now my right cheek look like this: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/6491/photo2339in2.jpg

BUT recently on the 24th of Dec, Christmas eve, my LEFT CHEEK gotten 2 rash that looks like “mosquito bite and kind of pimple” so I thought maybe the calendula cream would help since it healed my right cheek problem.

But after 3 days, today, the rash increased to 6 :(

My left cheek: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5418/photo2350ec9.jpg

By the way, I’ve been on this “detox diet” for 6 weeks already, I’ve stop eating eating meat and poultry. I only take one meal a day which consist 1 plate of brown rice, and 3 serves of spinach and broccoli, and 2 fruits. I’d take fish at most twice a week though because it has the omega 3 thing. I’ve also been drinking only water, 12 glasses a day. I used to sh*t twice a week but ever since I started out this “detox diet” I’ve been sh*tting everyday. Yes, it does help to clean my bowel and liver but I still don’t understand why am I still getting this crap on my face. But I must admit did give in to diary products during Christmas eve by eating the log cake and chocolates etc, so I suspect maybe this is why now my left cheek are having this problem. But do you think I should continue with the calendula cream?

Also, I came across this question, a lady who had the similiar condition as mine and decided to give up using steroid cream because it ain’t doing any good,

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnnbGI7NNBKjcnvtqKfx.xHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080705070028AAU4tGm

So I sent her a message and asked whether she has found any solution to overcome the problem and this is what she replied,

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/6144/kelsovi9.jpg

After reading her message, I suddenly remembered during the period when I gone cold turkey for 2 weeks and that first small patch of rash on my left smile line disappeared itself. I went on and replied her message to ask more questions during her cold turkey period but till now, after a week she still hasn’t reply. I guess she hardly log into her yahoo mail but I’m still praying hard for her to reply my questions. So in the mean time I decided to post my problem here and hope that you guys would give me advise on what should I do next.

Main question: Should I continue with the calendula cream OR go cold turkey again?
By the way, I came across this site with two information links about cold turkey is the best cure for effects of steroid abuse.

P.S. I’m allergic to a fragrance called Lyral so therefore I have not been putting any makeup on my face since the a flare-up I had during 2006. And this year I did IgE blood test and food allergy blood test. My IgE stated 73 IU/ML, I’ve checked with the laboratory person and he said that any number that’s under than 87 is normal. I’m also not allergic to any seafood or diary products.

P.S.S. Please don’t suggest other creams that contains Petroleum, Mineral Oil, and Paraffin because I’ve had bad experience with moisturizer cream that have all these ingredients. I found out that those ingredients actually form an oily film that sits on top of the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating. It has a drying effect, it actually suck out the moisture of your lips/skin, which is why you have to constantly reapplying it.

The Hoodia Weight Loss Patch

Most people are already familiar with Hoodia, since it is widely known all over the world as an effective way to curb your appetite and suppress cravings. What many people may not realize is that this well known appetite suppressant is now available in the form of an adhesive skin patch.

Hoodia, also known as hoodia gordonii, is a plant in the cactus family that thrives in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. Some South African tribes will eat the hoodia plant whenever there is a famine or whenever they need to go out for days to hunt for food. This is because hoodia is a great appetite suppressor and is able to lessen hunger pains and food cravings for a long period of time. This is the primary reason why hoodia has become such a popular weight loss supplement.

Today, hoodia is available as a supplement in many different forms. Usually, the hoodia plant is ground into a powder form and mixed with other substances to form tablets, capsules, and even drink powders. But now people can opt for a hoodia weight loss patch. The hoodia patch is placed directly on the skin. The patch relies on a transdermal process wherein the ingredients (hoodia gordonii being the most active) are absorbed into the skin and flow into the blood stream where they can be further absorbed into the body.

So why use a hoodia weight loss patch? Most importantly, it is used for the convenience. It is useful for the dieter who cannot keep track of whether he or she has taken his or her hoodia supplements each day. It is also very useful for those people who have difficulty swallowing pills or caplets.

If this is the case for you, the hoodia patch is easier since all you need to do is place the patch onto your skin. Normally, it is recommended that you change your patch every 24 hours.

Unfortunately, the hoodia patch is not without its side effects. People with sensitive skin may want to avoid wearing an adhesive patch on their body. In addition, users will still have to remember to place a new patch on their skin each day. Lastly, the hoodia weight loss patch is generally more expensive than hoodia supplements.

Side effects aside, having hoodia in a patch form gives consumers more options from which to choose. Ultimately, this is beneficial for those looking for a hoodia supplement.
