Ep 35 | Quantum Sensitivity: Where Science, Soul, and Your Inner Knowing Converge · Rise & Realign: Conversations for the Sensitive Soul

0:00
Welcome to Rise and Realign, conversations for
0:05
the sensitive soul. I'm Melissa, and this space
0:08
is for those of us who feel deeply, love fiercely,
0:13
and sense the world in ways that are hard to
0:16
explain, but impossible to ignore. Here, we honor
0:22
your sensitivity as a strength. not something
0:25
to fix. Through reflections, realignment, and
0:30
soul -led stories, we remember how to move through
0:33
life in a way that feels true to who we really
0:38
are. This is your space to rise, to realign,
0:44
and to come home again and again to your own
0:49
wise, authentic, and sensitive self. So last
0:58
week, I recorded episode 34, Breathe Love, honoring
1:05
your high resolution navigational system. And
1:10
I spoke about what it truly means to honor your
1:14
sensitive nature as a high resolution navigational
1:18
system. You know, I talked about how this depth
1:24
of perception and processing that we have as
1:28
sensitive individuals is really a gift. even
1:32
though it gets really buried for a lot of us,
1:35
right? And why others, you know, may not see
1:39
what we see, you know? And when I say we, of
1:43
course, it's still unique among us, you know,
1:46
in that roughly 20 % of the population who have
1:49
this high sensitivity trait, you know? But I
1:54
always invite, you know, that simple practice
1:57
of pausing to breathe love. you know, that that's
2:02
what helps us return home to our own inner guidance,
2:06
right? Our breath is the bridge, it connects
2:09
our body, you know, it connects our heart, our
2:13
soul, you know, our true essence, you know, really
2:17
comes online when we are pausing, you know, I've
2:22
kind of been, you know, thinking about how, as
2:28
I meet neighbors, you know, and talk to people,
2:31
whether it's my own parents, you know, in their
2:34
80s or neighbors, like just such a different
2:38
generation, right? And just hearing about, you
2:42
know, how strongly things were back then about,
2:45
you know, really outsourcing their authority
2:48
to doctors, to bosses, to professionals, right?
2:51
To authorities, right? And just, you know, And,
2:57
and then also having conversations with, you
3:00
know, like my dearest friends and just, you know,
3:02
hearing about what they're witnessing, you know,
3:05
in their everyday lives, whether it's, you know,
3:08
seeing other people suffer with serious mental
3:11
health challenges that they don't know, is it
3:13
substance induced, you know, like what's going
3:16
on for that person, but, you know, they just,
3:19
they see the pain and suffering for others, you
3:23
know, and and then there's you know those who
3:26
are on a very deep soul journey what i mean by
3:33
that is you know some of us are really awake
3:39
in the sense of i call it you know i'm a being
3:43
of love and light and i'm having a human experience
3:45
you know and so i have women, whether they're
3:50
friends, colleagues, clients, right, where that's
3:54
the level that we talk at, you know. And believe
3:58
me, there's such a wide range of what we each
4:02
have interest in, you know, are called to explore.
4:08
And, you know, some of it, you know, I just continue
4:14
to love to learn, you know, because again, my
4:16
fascination with the mind and just everybody's
4:19
different experiences. But what I notice, you
4:22
know, is other people are exploring, you know,
4:26
the realm of the, you know, the mental, you know,
4:31
terrain or the physical terrain of the body,
4:34
right? Or that more spiritual or soul, right?
4:41
Realm. And there's just, and I always come back
4:47
to like, there's no one right way. Like our journey
4:51
here on planet earth, you know, we may, many
4:56
of us, you know, we're conditioned, you know,
4:59
by our environment. We're conditioned by, you
5:02
know. our ancestral lineage right even if we
5:05
haven't met them in this lifetime it's like encoded
5:07
in our dna right our mitochondrial dna is coming
5:11
from that mother line right so but what's i find
5:16
beautiful is that there is so much variety and
5:20
there's not one specific way that we start to
5:25
wake up or remember you know it is different
5:30
for each of us and me personally like i have
5:34
definitely been exploring all three um i had
5:38
my own awakening in 2008 where i absolutely got
5:42
that download and that knowing i'm eternal i'm
5:47
abundant and i'm connected right but even though
5:52
having that knowing doesn't make it super simple,
5:55
right, navigating this earthly plane, because
5:59
there are these different levels of what we can
6:01
see, you know, and what we can understand. And
6:04
then there's that deeper connection that we can
6:07
have to whether you call it God or source, you
6:11
know, or light or universal intelligence, the
6:15
one mind. I mean, you know, there's so many different
6:21
labels that many use right and that's why you
6:24
know I acknowledge that there's no one right
6:27
path there's no one right way and I just am really
6:32
honored to be remembering you know um for my
6:38
journey because it does bring a lot more peace
6:43
for me um in the sense that I know I'm part of
6:49
something so much grander, so expansive and vast
6:54
that my human mind just cannot grasp in its fullness,
7:01
right? That we are each having a very unique
7:04
experience of this one source, right? So I did
7:09
my best. Of course, I'm always doing my best
7:14
as are each of you, even if there's moments when
7:18
we question ourselves, right? Like, I truly see
7:22
it as we're each doing our best from the level
7:26
of awareness and consciousness that we are operating
7:30
from. which can change, right? Well, it does
7:34
change. But on Saturday, I just, you know, I
7:39
just kind of woke up with this download, you
7:43
know, quantum sensitivity. And I was just like,
7:48
oh, I love this. Like, this really bridges, you
7:53
know, what has... been being revealed to me over
7:57
the course of about 13 years because at the same
8:02
time that I started you know studying quantum
8:05
physics and consciousness and neuroscience and
8:10
positive psychology like I was getting this whole
8:13
new perspective on mental health and you know
8:18
moving away from that whole pathology view you
8:22
know away from that whole you know medical model
8:26
and and chemical approach right um and at the
8:30
same time that i was really studying you know
8:33
that and and again it just felt so natural after
8:36
having had my spiritual awakening um but i was
8:40
also very much um feeling a strong connected
8:45
to dr elaine aaron's research on the high sensitivity
8:49
trait right which we know the scientific term
8:52
is sensory processing sensitivity which is invisible
8:57
yet normal right like this is not a disorder
9:01
there's no abnormality here right and this research
9:04
has been out for over 30 years um but i just
9:09
found that like this quantum sensitivity is where
9:13
it just, it bridges, right? Like it comes together.
9:18
And, you know, I know not everybody uses the
9:22
word quantum or even knows what it means, but
9:26
I'm really pointing to the subtle. the energetic
9:30
informational layers, right? Of reality, like
9:35
the fields that exist beyond what we can see,
9:39
right? Feel, taste, touch, right? And it's the
9:43
level where everything is connected, right? Whether
9:48
it's through uh whether you view it as through
9:51
energy waves consciousness right like again there's
9:54
so many different perspectives and experiences
9:58
and you know i just think that it's really so
10:01
beautiful um you know how much information is
10:05
out there you know that speaks to how different
10:09
we each are because things that light me up and
10:12
i'm like oh that really resonates for me right
10:16
now like I mean, it could be sending me sky high
10:19
into my excitement, right? But if I try to share
10:22
that with somebody who has no ability to comprehend
10:28
it from where they are, their level of awareness,
10:33
you know, level of consciousness, like just the
10:36
capacity for whatever they're navigating at that
10:40
point in their journey, right? Like it's just
10:43
not going to land for them. And this really isn't
10:46
a reflection of, oh, that information's not true,
10:51
right? Because we each have our own inner guidance,
10:55
right? And so when I'm speaking about quantum
10:59
sensitivity, I'm really speaking to this. Well,
11:06
it's an invitation, right? Especially for those
11:08
of you who are listening. I mean, my podcast
11:11
is Conversations for the Sensitive Soul. So you're
11:14
here, whether you're arriving from that more
11:19
spiritual side or whether you're arriving more
11:22
from, you know, the science side, right? Whether
11:26
your body, right, your nervous system is just,
11:30
you're very curious, you know, what does this
11:32
mean to my nervous system? You know, like, this
11:36
is where I'm inviting quantum sensitivity to,
11:41
you know, just speak to the way that those of
11:45
us who are wired, you know, with this sensitivity,
11:49
right, where we're perceiving. Not just what's
11:54
visible, right? But those subtle, energetic and
11:58
informational layers that science is now beginning
12:02
to understand and has been researching, right?
12:06
And this is the thing, like I'm somebody, I do
12:08
feel like a bridge because, you know, I got right
12:11
into psychology, right? And research and education,
12:15
you know, as a teenager. And it wasn't until,
12:20
you know, later that I had that spiritual awakening
12:23
that it really connected more deeply with that
12:26
more spiritual side. Not that I didn't want to,
12:29
I feel like I was a seeker, you know, even though
12:32
Catholic education. just didn't really grab me
12:36
like in the sense to where i really got it um
12:40
and you know that roman catholic uh education
12:45
and um world has certainly a lot of problems
12:50
um at least that's what i experienced in my young
12:54
adulthood um so that just didn't resonate with
12:58
me so i was always a seeker like well what else
13:00
is there you know and as As I actually say that,
13:04
I'm thinking about how earlier this morning,
13:07
you know, because I don't know what's going to
13:09
flow through me when I hit record. I truly don't.
13:13
These are unplanned in the sense that I'm speaking
13:16
from my own heart. I'm just, you know, connecting
13:20
more deeply and sharing what is moving through
13:23
me. That's how I'm designed from a human design
13:28
perspective. You know, I see that, but also like.
13:32
That's how we speak from our inner knowing. It's
13:35
not planned. It's not programmed, right? I may
13:39
have a very rough outline so that I ensure I
13:44
come back to what I, you know, had initially
13:47
started with, right? Like say the last episode.
13:51
So there's certain things that I'm learning as
13:54
I continue to do these podcasts that are helpful.
13:57
But when I first started recording, I was literally
14:00
like, What's ready to come through me, you know?
14:04
And so earlier, I thought about how, you know,
14:09
when we're kids, right, how much, you know, we
14:12
are asking our parents questions, right? And
14:15
then there's, of course, that joke, right, where
14:17
the kid just keeps saying, why? But why? Why?
14:21
But why, you know, like just to keep digging
14:25
deeper. And we've certainly come out of an era
14:28
where like that was shut down, right? Just like
14:31
I was saying, like talking with these, you know,
14:33
wonderful individuals in their 80s, right? Like
14:37
they came from, you know, where you don't question
14:41
authority, right? You do as you're told. And
14:43
I can even remember times before my awakening.
14:47
Actually, maybe it was even a little bit right
14:49
after, you know, where I was like, you know,
14:53
you need to follow instructions, you know, like
14:55
I felt like that was important. But there needs
15:00
to be a balance, right? Like, yes. we as parents
15:05
educators right whatever role that's in you know
15:09
as a leader we want to be able to say well these
15:12
are the parameters to keep you safe or to keep
15:15
you on track or you know things like that but
15:18
we also need that ability to be like yeah but
15:21
why like why are we doing it this way or why
15:25
don't we do it that way or is there another way
15:28
right and like isn't that what research is about
15:30
in the sense that you know so many people turn
15:33
of the research and say well what what did the
15:36
studies show right like that's based on the people
15:40
who continue to be curious right and to say yeah
15:43
like well what would happen if we did this and
15:46
what would happen if we do that and you know
15:48
and and sometimes there's certainly contradicting
15:51
information right like one research study may
15:54
reveal one thing and another may reveal another
15:57
and And that's where I just say, oh my gosh,
15:59
we are all so unique. Like, it's really impossible
16:03
to ensure that every participant, right, has
16:08
things in common, right? Because again, we are,
16:13
as I view it, again, you are free, of course,
16:17
to view this in the way that most resonates for
16:19
you. But I view this as, you know, we are beings
16:23
of love and light who are having a human experience.
16:26
And so beings of love and light, you know, means
16:29
that we may have had multiple previous experiences,
16:32
right? As a human or as something else, depending
16:37
on what your beliefs are, right? Because again,
16:40
I'm not here to say it's this way or it's that
16:42
way. I know there's a lot of different information
16:45
out there, whether you want to talk about, you
16:48
know, You know, like the International Federation
16:54
for Space. Excuse me if I said that incorrectly.
16:57
I'm like seeing Nassim space as he's talking
17:03
about, you know, plasma and how we're made up
17:08
of more space than we are matter. And, you know,
17:11
and I'm just thinking about so many different
17:14
things that. pop up across my you know curiosity
17:18
um when i'm looking at things but but again to
17:23
bring this back to quantum sensitivity for me
17:28
is is that bridging of yes we can acknowledge
17:32
there is something so much more than we understand
17:35
that research will continue to explore and understand
17:39
right because previous research and previous
17:43
you know revelations have already been shifting
17:47
right like oh there's now this you know and so
17:51
this is where i bring it back to the body's wisdom
17:54
right and that's where i really appreciate the
17:57
research um on sensory processing sensitivity
18:01
because this is where we're getting into that
18:04
you know human experience that is coming you
18:08
know um through the body right the body is our
18:13
vessel right it is our sacred temple but when
18:17
we're raised in a way that just outsources right
18:20
authority to everybody else and we're not raised
18:23
in a way that says no you are you are something
18:26
so important and special and you're here to have
18:30
a very unique experience and it's important to
18:34
nurture that development i mean that relationship
18:38
right that relationship with your own inner knowing.
18:43
And our inner knowing continues to deepen and
18:48
strengthen, right? And it allows us to have a
18:54
deeper trust, you know, and confidence in ourself,
18:58
in our path, in our journey, you know? So again,
19:04
I see quantum sensitivity as, you know, even
19:08
beyond that, level of coherence that we talk
19:12
about, right? Like, I always guide you through
19:16
a breathing practice to, you know, take a break
19:20
and breathe love because when we pause, like,
19:24
all of the mental activity, right? And we slow
19:28
down the physical activity, right? By connecting
19:31
with our heart, connecting with our breath, we
19:35
invite that coherence between our heart and our
19:39
brain, right? Where we know that the Heart is
19:44
sending more messages to the brain than the brain
19:47
does to the heart. But many, again, have been
19:52
conditioned, have been raised in a way that that
19:57
heart -brain coherence, you know, has been out
20:00
of balance for... years, decades, whatever, right?
20:05
And so if the heart brain coherence has been
20:08
out of balance, then where does your true essence
20:12
fit in the equation, right? So I see quantum
20:16
sensitivity as the wholeness of who we are. And
20:21
that as sensitive beings, and again, I, I'm I
20:27
welcome, you know, comments and conversations
20:29
with others because this is something that I've
20:32
been so fascinated and curious with, like I said,
20:35
for the past 13 years where I'm like, what is
20:38
it about those of us who are highly sensitive?
20:41
You know, like are more of us who are highly
20:44
sensitive, you know, or all of us again. I don't
20:50
know. I just posed the question. Are we older
20:53
souls in the sense that, you know, we're more
20:56
advanced souls? It doesn't matter how you call
20:59
it. It doesn't mean that we're superior to anybody,
21:02
right? Like, I always want to be clear about
21:04
that. It's just we're the ones who can feel things,
21:08
sense things, right? Process things deeper, right?
21:14
We may be the ones who are getting overwhelmed
21:18
faster, but when we get ourselves to a place
21:22
where we're actually honoring our needs, right?
21:26
Then we come back to being in alignment, right?
21:33
Mind, body, and soul. So for me, quantum sensitivity
21:38
is about that wholeness of who we are. that that
21:44
realignment you know within ourselves where we
21:48
trust our own inner knowing and we're nurturing
21:51
that development right that's why it's the path
21:54
of realignment right and that's why my whole
21:57
brand is called the realigned journey right like
22:02
because it's an ongoing experience that we go
22:05
deeper right and that's why i also you know use
22:08
words like i'm a spiral guide to just help people
22:12
from whatever whatever angle they're coming from
22:16
whether it's you know their body and their health
22:19
challenges because i've been there i've lived
22:21
it you know infertility i mean strep and gut
22:25
issues from the very beginning of my life, you
22:29
know? And, you know, I could view that as that
22:33
was because, you know, I'm a highly sensitive
22:35
person, all that stuff hit me more deeply and
22:38
impacted my health. And then the Epstein -Barr
22:41
virus and, you know, Hashimoto's, like all these
22:44
things and point at it from a physical level,
22:46
right? Or, you know, I could say, oh, what was
22:49
going on in the consciousness of those around
22:51
me, right? In the collective consciousness that
22:54
my mind was imprinted this way so that these
22:56
symptoms showed up, right? And then there's the
22:59
question of, well, okay, and what's partly because
23:03
my soul signed up for this type of journey, you
23:07
know? I find these kinds of deeper questions
23:10
so fascinating, you know, and I love it when
23:14
I am working with another sensitive woman who's
23:18
like, yeah, I feel that way too. Or yeah, I want
23:22
to understand that. Or, you know, again, some
23:25
of them question, you know, what they do as crazy,
23:28
you know, and it's just like, no, you're not
23:30
crazy. You're just not in the normal, like. mass
23:36
consciousness right that that more group collective
23:39
consciousness you are thinking outside of that
23:43
and that's what i find is really powerful and
23:46
beautiful and where so much good can come but
23:49
i also want to acknowledge that those of us who
23:52
are sensitive and you know feeling into these
23:56
old patterns and the pain right And again, being
24:00
sensitive individuals, that differential susceptibility,
24:03
the pain hits hard, right? But I think that's
24:08
part of this quantum sensitivity, you know, because
24:11
it does allow us to rise up out of it as we come
24:16
into right relationship with our mind, our body,
24:20
our soul. And so again, this is just, you know,
24:25
my invitation for you to explore quantum sensitivity
24:29
and that blog. I'll put the link in the show
24:34
notes if you'd like to read it. But yeah, this
24:38
is just an invitation to, you know, be more curious
24:42
about your own path, right? Because... I know
24:45
a lot of listeners like the referencing to the
24:48
nervous system, right? Because again, stress
24:51
is a driver for a lot of our health problems,
24:54
right? But it can also be, you know, the thing
24:57
that draws us more inward to start asking those
25:02
questions again, like, why? Why am I going through
25:06
this experience again? Or why is this happening?
25:10
to me is what most of us say. Why is this happening
25:12
to me? You know, and it doesn't have to be from
25:15
a victim mindset, right? Why is this happening
25:18
to me? That's a more open question towards the
25:21
possibility side of things, right? And that's
25:24
what I love about vantage sensitivity, because
25:27
that speaks to how as highly sensitive individuals,
25:30
the positive is so supportive to us, right? And
25:35
that's why I really invite you to be sure that
25:38
you have people in your life who you can talk
25:41
about the things that light you up, whether you
25:43
can, you know, go do them if they're physical
25:46
things or just conversations, right? And that's
25:49
why, you know, my offerings are here because
25:52
it gives highly sensitive women a place to come
25:56
and say, oh yeah, I get to talk about that too.
26:00
I'm not just living in what this physical reality.
26:04
you know, that we're so mostly focused on, right?
26:08
Like it's an invitation to say, come on, come
26:11
into the quantum sensitivity realm where there's
26:15
so much, right? And again, that's where I say
26:19
I'm a spiral guide, not because I'm going to
26:22
tell you what's true for you, but because I'm
26:25
going to hold that space, right? I'm going to
26:28
bring my coherence, you know, into that circle
26:32
with you so that you feel it, you tap into it,
26:35
you know, you share from that, right? That's
26:39
what I love. Well, I realize I mentioned, you
26:46
know, the take a break and breathe love but we
26:49
haven't done that so maybe this is a good time
26:53
for us to um yeah let's you know what i want
27:01
to invite you again if you're in a safe place
27:03
you know where you can rub your hands together
27:07
you know i invite you to just start rubbing your
27:10
hands together and just feel the sensations Come
27:15
into your body, you know, just feel the warmth,
27:20
the friction, whatever may be there for you.
27:23
Maybe your hands are cold, you know, whatever's
27:26
going on, but just feel the sensations as you
27:30
rub your hands together. And I invite you to
27:35
just slow the movement down gradually and just
27:40
separate those hands. Just enough where you feel
27:45
that electrical, that energy moving through,
27:49
right? That love and light moving through your
27:53
fingers. I invite you to put one hand on your
27:57
heart, put the other on your belly or anywhere
28:00
that your body may be calling for some extra
28:03
loving attention. And then just take a nice deep
28:09
inhale through your nose, however deep you can.
28:13
And then take another inhale through the nose,
28:17
whatever your capacity is. And then a nice slow
28:20
exhale out your mouth. Whether that's sighing,
28:24
eyeing, or blowing out a candle, really just
28:27
honor what you need right now. Because again,
28:31
I'm guiding you back to where you... can trust
28:36
in you and your own inner guidance because it's
28:41
there it's always been there for us all we just
28:46
haven't always tuned into it because we either
28:51
didn't know it was there we didn't know what
28:54
it meant we didn't know how to communicate right
28:57
so this is just an invitation for you to tune
29:00
into you Maybe as you're breathing deeply, like
29:05
even focus on your heart. Focus on a spark within
29:10
your heart. And just as you breathe in through
29:15
your nose, just imagining light just filling
29:21
up that heart space. And on the exhale, you're
29:26
just releasing and relaxing. Again, on that inhale,
29:33
more love and light is just filling up, traveling
29:38
through all the cells and all the space in your
29:41
body. And again, on that exhale, just releasing,
29:47
relax, let go. And then on this final deep inhale,
29:55
just imagine all of that love and light has expanded
30:00
and there's this sphere that is filled with love
30:04
and light holding you right where you are. And
30:12
again, you're exhaling and you are releasing
30:14
any tension and you are realigning with you.
30:20
Your heart space carries so much. Infinite intelligence
30:28
and wisdom is always there for you. So if this
30:40
episode has resonated with you, again, I invite
30:43
