3 Reasons You’re More Sensitive As You Open Up Intuitively

Updated 2022.01.10

Why do we feel sensitive as we develop psychic gifts? Vulnerable as you develop intuition? Feeling sensitive as you develop psychically? In this post, we discuss why and what to do to return to peace -

You cannot listen to everyone and their cousin who steps forward to criticize, disparage or have an opinion on what you do and how you do it.

It doesn't matter as people change their opinions overnight.

When a psychic or intuitive becomes overtaxed, it's easy to pay attention to absorbing too much of what you don't want and not enough of what you do.

As you develop your soul on the path of intuitive expansion, remember that what matters is only this:

• What you believe in your heart

• What you know to be true

• That you're striving to live in alignment with your truth

Everyone figuring out along the way is part of the story, and exploring the emotions is part of the process as you open up intuitively.

Gentle adherence to what you feel, know and see to be the truth is essential to developing your spiritual and intuitive abilities, because both self-trust and self-confidence build the foundation of your spiritual gifts. 

The full development of your spiritual abilities means that:

• You can perceive the truth

• No one can cast an untruth over you and have it stay for very long

• You become less and less impressionable and vulnerable to the will, the desires and the wishes of others

When you develop your intuitive gifts, you are finally stepping into a guidance beacon, which will direct you and keep you on the path of love and awakening for the rest of your life.

One person stepping into their light could be scary for others in your life because things will likely have to change.

Many will want to come along with you on the change. Some will hop onto the magic carpet immediately. Before others do, some may freak out about it. That's what happens.

When you open your soul, you're stepping to the edge of your boundaries. So it's reasonable to move through waves of nervousness and fear.

Opening intuitively is honestly an incredibly beautiful time in life.

It's a time when you start to go out on a limb to say things you would not have said as old you. It's a time when you start to tell other people what you think and feel, with no guarantee of how they might respond.

It's a time when you begin to trust what you sense, feel, and receive when you may have previously avoided this very thing. It's a time of risk and time of stepping into something new.

It's a time when you are releasing your fears.

It is during this time when you're releasing your fears, you may attract people to you with lots of fear around and within them, as well. 

Some of these people will be attracted to you so you can mutually grow and release your fears together, even if they have freaked out, and if they come around, these are your soulmates and your kindred spirits.

It is also during this time when your sensitivities to other people often gets stronger. This is mostly to keep you safe and on track. And you do want to listen to what your gut and emotions tell you during this time. 

As you develop your intuitive abilities, your sensitivity muscles become stronger, your intuitive gifts of clairsentience and empathy begin to open up more and more.

As you develop, it also becomes easier for you to perceive the thoughts, emotions, and feelings of people around you and absorb the thoughts, emotions, and feelings of people around you.

It may be surprising at times how open your intuition becomes, and some of these truths may be intense. 

You can handle the truth, even as you move through the emotion of it.

During times of opening, you're also releasing. So you'll be more sensitive to the waves of these emotions coming from others and those that come from the realization of your truths, shown to you by Spirit.

3 Reasons You’re More Sensitive As You Open Up Intuitively

#1

Your empathy improves as you spiritually grow. You can now sense more of what is truly happening around you.

As you develop, you may realize some falsehoods you've been living in that can no longer stand, and you may become emotional about it. 

#2

Many of your fears and the fears of others are arising as an opportunity for healing and releasing.

Intuitive development can rapidly bring out truths and hidden darkness in others for healing.

Usually, these falsehoods get released for the better. But at first, they may create feelings as they release. This is why it's essential to let intuitive development take its time, so there's plenty of room for processing. 

#3

Your clairsentience is probably getting stronger. Clairsentience, housed in the Heart Chakra, can suddenly open, especially after energy work. 

When this happens, you may feel a lot more all of a sudden, picking up on the stored emotions of the hearts around you. It is both beautiful and enlightening, but it can also create feelings. 

What can you do to navigate a vulnerable time of development best? 

• If you have absorbed the unconscious conditioning of others around you, you can step back and go within. You can manage your abilities, reject energy coming your way, and avoid these situations.

• Preserve your energy and be vigilant of who you spend your time with as you develop your gifts.

• Be careful not to be around people who would usually be critical of you, picking on you or interested in knocking you down a peg.

• Take a rain check on meeting with friends who may affect your feelings and thoughts adversely.

• Increase your self-care a notch. The more supported your nervous system feels, and your body feels nourished, the less threatened you'll feel and the more confident and resilient you'll be.

Do you have a friend who wouldn't approve of you developing your gifts due to their fears and worries? Someone who feels fearful to you?

Maybe it's best to sit that lunch date out for now. 

To recap

Sensitivities can increase when you develop psychically because as you see the truth for others, your Guides and Angels will take a moment or two to show you your own.

These moments can be awakening and tough.

But once you move through the emotion and beef up your self-care, your energy field and take some time to process and change things based on what you see, you feel freer.

You may also feel more vulnerable as you intuitively develop because your clairsentient abilities are becoming more active. 

As others clear out their fears and emotions around you and evolve along with you, and as you change your life to adapt to what you now have seen to be accurate, these emotional triggers will become less and less. 

In the meantime, while that happens, focus on your self-care and ask, what were the last three places I went where I felt nurtured? Spend your off-time there.

If you do intuitive stuff for a living, you may want to keep your psychic senses on for work. 

Still, during your recharge time, you can hang out wherever nurtures you, and it will promote resilience for the next time your psychic awareness creates a moment of vulnerability.
