Highly sensitive people *especially* benefit from taking time the to meditate, because it offers a break from too much sensory stimulation, and the space to be at peace with what is left over. It is one of the most powerful tools available (and free!) for creating a life of magic and miracles, while on the journey to fulfilling the soul’s purpose.

Thank you for sharing about mediation (I call it prayer, but it’s much the same thing) and confirming what I’ve come to know over the last 31+ years.
Warmly,
Linda
Hi Linda,
I enjoy that practice as well and agree that it’s the same thing, just explained a little differently. Love that we can recognize that and have a shared experience underneath the different “packaging”!
