Insights into how to successfully navigate the unique situations and challenges that arise for people with the trait of high sensitivity and the people in their lives.

Welcome! First off, I want to give credit and thanks to the wonderful Dr. Elaine Aron who first introduced all of us to this important inherited trait of high sensitivity and who wrote the landmark 1996 book The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You. And, make sure you visit her website  www.hsperson.com.

Now, as an introduction to the trait of high sensitivity, see if some of these statements resonate with you, or relate to someone important in your life...

You, your partner, or someone important to you have a heightened awareness of subtleties in your environment, whether it's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.

You can become stressed out and upset when overwhelmed and may find it necessary to get away, maybe into a darkened room, to seek solitude, relief and comfort.

You are very creative.

You are very conscientious, hard working, and meticulous, but may become uncomfortable and less efficient or productive when being watched or scrutinized.

You feel compelled to file and organize things and thoughts, also enjoy simplicity and may become overwhelmed or even immobilized by chaos, clutter, or stress.

You are very uncomfortable when feeling things are getting out of your control.

You get a sense of comfort and well being when around a lake, river, stream, the ocean, or even a fountain.

You may experience mood swings, sometimes occurring almost instantly and can also be affected by other people's moods, emotions and problems.

You have a deep, rich, inner life, are very spiritual, and may also have vivid \s.

You are very intuitive and you feel that you can usually sense if someone isn't telling the truth or if something else is wrong.

You get concerned and think or worry about many things, and have also been told "you take things too personally."

You have had the experience of "cutting people out" of your life.

You were considered quiet, introverted, timid, or shy as a child.

Here are a few more to consider... Can be startled easily. Cautious in new situations. May have trouble sleeping. Extra sensitive to pain. Don't like crowds (unless they are kindred spirits). Avoids violent movies and TV shows. Has a deep respect and appreciation of nature, music and art.

Do some, or many, of these statements ring true for you, your partner, or someone important in your life? If so, you or they may be a highly sensitive person or "HSP." Whether you already know something about the trait and temperament of highly sensitive people, or if this is your first introduction to the subject, welcome! The goal and intent of this website is to impart information, provide support and be a resource to individuals with the trait of high sensitivity and for the people in their lives.

Listen to Jim Hallowes' latest interviews
I was the in-studio guest on Los Angeles' radio popular long-running The Aware Show with Lisa Garr, on KPFK 90.7 FM, talking about the trait of high sensitivity and Highly Sensitive People. According to Lisa, The Aware Show is "dedicated to communicating information to inspire positive growth and change. Our goal is an increased awareness and healing on an individual and planetary level." Listen to the complete show or you can order an audio CD-ROM from the Highly Sensitive People Gift Store.

I have also been invited by the people at GenConnect to join their Panel of Experts as the resident authority on HSP, along with Dr. Pat Allen as their expert on Relationship and Communication Issues. If you're not familiar with GenConnect, it's an on-line "Facebook"-type forum where you can interact with a wide variety of knowledgeable coaches, lecturers and authors on topics of self-development, and mingle with a community of like-minded individuals. They were also the co-sponsors (along with MORE Magazine) of the recent "Reinvention-Convention" in New York City which we both attended. Their website is really a great place to get a lot of up-to-the-minute information on a variety of topics, and of course you can view our Jim Hallowes and Dr. Pat Allen video segments there as well, at GenConnect.com/Experts.

I encourage you to check out the other pages here on the Highly Sensitive Person website for more information on how the Trait of High Sensitivity can impact you in the areas of your Relationships, your Career, and your Spirituality.

What Do These Famous Persons Have in Common?

Abraham Lincoln....Carl Jung....Dr. Pat Allen....Princess Diana. They are all HSP! (Highly Sensitive Persons) And, they'd also all probably qualify as Dr. Pat Allen's "Alphas" — those people who have an on going tug-of-war between their head and their heart, individuals who are in touch with both their Masculine and Feminine Energies.

Dr. Pat Allen and Jim Hallowes Join 26 Other Experts in the Online "Magnetizing Love Summit"

If you're a single woman....or a single man....and you've been doing your self-growth work, and you know you're ready to attract the soul-mate love of your life....yet for some reason your manifestaton always falls short of your visualization....you may be missing one of the...

...EIGHT STEPS TO YOUR BELOVED'S ARMS

My friend Julie-Anne Shapiro has invited me, along with 26 other Relationship and Love Experts, to help you to understand why True Love seems to have become an elusive Holy Grail in this New Age, and what you can do to make it a reality in your life.

Why does love seem to elude you? Why do you keep attracting the same types of partners? It's because so many people have grown up exposed to poor relationship models, troubling core beliefs about ourselves, limiting beliefs about love and about life that don't support our dream of soul-mate love. These beliefs flat-out BLOCK you from finding love.

Julie-Anne knows this, because for years she faced frustrations in her search for a storybook partner: "I completely understand what it's like to have no healthy role models, to have deep-rooted beliefs and unhealthy patterns in relationships. I really thought that love was impossible....until I started to engage the principles we are going to be learning during this event."

But her search had a true storybook ending. Julie went on to marry the love of her life, and has since been sharing what she learned with hundreds of other women, and men. And now she has brought together two dozen other brilliant and caring relationship teachers including Arielle Ford, Carol Allen, Michael Costugno, Dr. Jay Ferraro, Beverly Garb, Cherry Norris, Gina Hardy, Ryan Eliason, Ocean and Michele Robbins, Dr. Pat Allen and myself and many others, who will explore 8 important areas to guide you to finding love in your life:

• How to Open Up and Get Ready to Receive Your Beloved
• Healing Trauma & Pain From the Past
• Changing Your Patterns and Beliefs
• Becoming Irresistibly Magnetic
• How to BE the Person You Want To Be With
• Start Living Your Vision of Love
• Sending Out Your "Love" Signal
• Integrate & Celebrate Your Journey into Your Beloved's Arms

Dr. Pat Allen will be speaking on important concepts from her Art of Relationships seminar, teaching how to identify and work with both your feminine and masculine aspects, how to define the role you want to play in your relationship, and how to discover your most authentic self, and also warning about the dangers of premature bonding before the relationship has "matured" sufficiently.

I intend to explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person (an "alpha") and how this not-so-common trait needs to be accommodated in a relationshp, and offer some tips and strategies that will allow both partners to set proper boundaries that will honor this trait.

I look forward to this wonderful event and a chance to "rub shoulders" with some of the people I admire, and I urge everyone to take full advantage of this fantastic opportunity, because it's free and it's a unique meeting of some of the greatest minds in relationship work, who will present new and exciting secrets of how to make yourself ready for love, prepare yourself as someone worthy of love, and bring into your life, at last, the manifestation of soul-mate love.

Register here. It's easy and free, and you will instantly receive the full schedule and login information by email to listen in to each of the 28 speakers and inspiring couples who will tell their stories, share their knowledge and experience.

Most of all, we are all coming together to give you the tools and self-enhancing strategies you need to break through the blockages in your life that have been keeping you from being able to share yourself fully and openly, and to manifest the soul-mate quality love you truly deserve.

What Was Your Self-Talk Like Today?

Every day of our lives we each "speak" to ourselves with a little inner dialogue that provides feedback on how we're doing. But for most people, especially HSPs, usually it's negative feedback. The person we're most critical of is often ourselves.

So many of us constantly focus on our blunders. And as a result, we wind up feeling even worse about them, and ourselves. Ouch!

What if you could start congratulating yourself for your successes? And give yourself a great big High-Five every day? By changing your Self-Talk you can actually begin to feel better about yourself, and your life.

Science has shown that there are simple steps you can take to reprogram your brain, in a way that will allow you to enjoy greater happiness, wealth, confidence, love, success, health — and more.

And all it takes is just changing what you say to yourself every day.

Self-help expert Bradley Thompson, one of the sponsors of the Highly Sensitive People website, has created an amazing system on audio CDs that leads you through the precise steps you need to follow to change your own Self-Talk. I highly encourage you to visit the Self-Help Talk website to learn more about how simple it is to become a stronger, happier and more confident person.

These are sure to be interesting evenings learning about and discussing the trait of high sensitivity. If you're an HSP, they'll be evenings of learning to understand yourself better, and if you're a Non-HSP you'll learn how to better understand those Highly Sensitive People in your life. Because HSPs make up about 20% of the population, you are sure to come into contact with many of them, so why not make the most of those relationships; social, business and romantic?

Highly Sensitive People Need a Higher Vibration

I've only recently learned that Albert Einstein (who was a highly sensitive person himself) was the first scientist who began to explore the quality of "vibration" in the universe. He determined that all matter is just another expression of fundamental energy, and everything in the universe — the sun, the earth, our bodies, our lives, the words we speak and the thoughts we have — is nothing more than a vibration of energy.

The rate each of these energies vibrates is called its frequency, and scientists are discovering that it's possible to experience entirely different states of consciousness, as well as stimulating powerful energy centers in the brain and functions such as creativity and mood enhancement, just by subtly "tuning" their frequencies. And the more highly tuned nervous system of an HSP benefits the most utilizing them.

The groundbreaking movie "The Secret" was one of the first popular discussions of vibrations and the Law of Attraction, and new methodologies and products are coming onto the market with increasing "frequency" these days. But there's nothing new about it.... Actually, many of these techniques have been known for centuries, but were extremely difficult to work with. For instance, the solfeggio frequencies were used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, which were held to be capable of spiritually inspiring mankind to be more Godlike and improve our sense of well-being. But over the centuries use of these frequencies was lost because changes were made in our western musical scales, altering the music's ability to tune our higher matrices of thought. The ancient knowledge was almost lost to the ages.

What is new is that today access to these life-changing frequencies has become extremely easy. I've just been introduced to a new method of tuning your internal vibrations by the founders of MindPowerMP3.com who have just released a series of powerful audio tracks designed to help people, especially HSPs, gain greater control over their vibrational state. And they've made available, absolutely free, a brand-new Sound Transformation Starter Kit for download from their site.

Today's digital technologies makes precise tuning of these frequencies extremely economical, and they can be added to specially recorded MP3 tracks, which mix these fundamental frequencies with beautifully recorded classical music.

Spplying these frequencies in your life, just by listening to these special tracks (preferably with headphones to focus the energies) will:

• Increase perception and awareness by building new neural pathways in your brain — science calls it brainwave entrainment
• Balance your heart chakra to become more tolerant, optimistic, compassionate, resourceful and even humorous
• Enhance your ability to learn and focus by tuning in to the Earth/Gaia rejuvenating frequency of 7.83 Hz — called the Schumann Resonance or the "Earth's Heartbeat"
• Relieve stress, accelerate healing and strengthen your immune system. In fact, scientific studies have demonstrated this conclusively

So since this is a limited time introductory offer, I'm happy to make it available here on the Highly Sensitive People website. Accessing this gift is easy — just visit the site below to discover more and to download your 5 free MP3s and also get 2 free reports explaining much more about this amazing new (yet old) technology.

http://highlysensitivepeople.com/MindPower

In this Free Sound Transformation Starter Kit you get the full 396 Hz Liberation From Fear track, which will helps dissolve obstacles to peace, restore strength and equanimity, and prepare the way for your emotional liberation.

I'm proud that the people at MindPowerMP3 have allowed me to become an affiliate for their groundbreaking new product and FTC regulations require I mention this whenever I present any information about exciting new third-party products for the benefit of my readers.

A Special Note: I want you to have one of the books that Dr. Pat Allen has based her therapies on, at no charge. The publisher has made arrangements with us to give away a FREE COPY of Napoleon Hill's famous book, Think & Grow Rich — that's the acclaimed book about the power of Positive Thinking that much of the Law of Attraction (and "The Secret") is based on. There are millionaires today who credit much of their success to the "secrets" they read in this book, including some of the authorities who appeared in the movie itself.

Anyway, it's a great deal from the publisher...just tell them where to send it, and they'll mail you the Number-One Success Book of all time.
