How highly sensitive people perceive the world more deeply – and how they can turn it into strength, even if it often just feels overwhelming. We need to learn how to ride the dragon.
Highly sensitive people feel more, sense more, and process life more deeply.
In a fast, noisy world, this sensitivity can feel overwhelming – yet it’s not a flaw, but a form of intelligence.
It’s the ability to sense truth, energy, and subtle harmony beyond words.
The term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) was introduced by psychologist Elaine Aron.
Around 15–20% of people have a more finely tuned nervous system, meaning they process sensory and emotional information more deeply.
It’s not a disorder – it’s a natural temperament that comes with great gifts and certain challenges.
Highly sensitive people often have thin energetic filters – they absorb impressions from their surroundings and from others, which can lead to fatigue or emotional overwhelm.
From a TCM and Shiatsu perspective, let me show you two systems that are especially involved:
When these filters are weak, we lose energy and boundaries become blurred.
In Kenko Loves Shiatsu, we work specifically on strengthening these inner filters.
Through gentle touch along the Heart Protector and Lung meridians, the body learns to recognize:
What belongs to me – and what doesn’t? This restores clarity, grounding, and emotional safety.
Shiatsu helps transform sensitivity into embodied strength and calm presence.
High sensitivity is not a weakness – it’s an invitation to live with awareness, empathy, and grace.
Through the Kenko Love Mentoring and Kenko Loves Shiatsu, you can learn to honor your sensitivity, strengthen your boundaries, and reconnect to your natural rhythm of body, mind, and heart.
This way, you stay grounded in your center and rooted in your body – so that emotional waves can move through you without sweeping you away.
