A new adventure for me: I am in the midst of learning about how to write and publish digital Kindle books using the writing application Scrivener. I have been using Scrivener for awhile, and really appreciate its ability to hold and organize ideas and writing. But publishing on Kindle is new for me. There is something particular that I want to share about!

Searching through the many Kindle publishing categories on Amazon, I see several books on using EFT, and of course there are always lots of spiritual/self help books. I notice an increasing number of people writing about being an introvert, coming from the recent success of the Susan Cain’s book Quiet. There are some new books on being highly sensitive, from the spreading understanding of the HSP temperament that originated with Elaine Aron’s work.

Most of the “introvert” and “sensitive books,” though, seem to be about how to be more successful at trying to survive as a quiet person in an extrovert world. That can be useful, but it doesn’t offer much insight into what I want to know more about, and what has been my life-long learning.

I am most interested in exploring and understanding what sensitivity really is, in the deepest spiritual sense. I don’t just want to accept it as a psychological or scientific diagnosis. I don’t want to just find ways to keep my head above water in this not-so-sensitive world. Instead of seeing sensitivity as a problem, I want to know how we can deepen into it. What is it for? I am always asking, Where does sensitivity fit into our humanity?

I study practical spirituality. For me that means studying the practical uses of sensitivity. Many of you have shared this journey with me in teleclasses and webinars.

I have always thought of “sensitivity” as our human empathic consciousness. As sensitive people, I believe we are stumbling towards understanding and utilizing this way of being conscious as a fuller, deeper experience of Being Human.

Here is what I think: the essence of what we have been calling sensitivity is a profound new spiritual capacity of perceiving, using our spiritually subtle senses. I am calling this capacity “Spiritually Savvy Sensitivity,” and this is what I want to write lots of Kindle books about.

I think we use our spiritually savvy sensitive perception all the time, but we just don’t recognize it.

It is a profoundly powerful tool. It links us to both the seen and the unseen worlds. When we learn how to fine-tune this awareness, and combine it with EFT and other energy methods, we can act in strong, insightful, thoughtful, creative ways. We understand how to get clear, and follow through with our intentions, find and stay in flow, deal with conflict, etc.

Trusting in an embodied, activated sense of spiritually savvy sensitive perception is exactly what people need these days!

Many sensitive people seem to be looking for wisdom outside themselves, seeking guidance from spiritual teachers and gurus. They are unconsciously acting from a position of need, or even greed. They don’t know how to establish good boundaries. As a people we don’t know about our sacred sovereign beingness. We don’t know about the inner gifts of our sensitivity.

Here is something I just wrote for the first book that I am planning for the series:

The world needs all of what you have to offer. You can use your spiritually savvy sensitive perception to understand, enhance and deepen into your embodied quiet, strong, soul Presence.  Tapping and the other energy work introduced in this book are good resources to help you manifest your soul’s intention. Your whole purpose for being here in your life is to recreate wholeness by being your best spiritually savvy sensitive self—just by being here as you.

When I first looked into the Kindle categories to see where these books might fit, my first thoughts were “OMG! Good news, no one is doing what I want to do!” And my next thought was, “Uh oh, there really isn’t anyone doing what I am doing…hmmm…is that a bad sign?”

However. It feels good to me to be doing what I am doing. And that is always the bottom line for me.

The more I go into the Kindle field the more complex I see it is.  And here too, alas and sigh, I find an increasing number of loud marketing “experts,” busy making money by getting people to give them money to explain how to make money, playing on their fears, going for the upsell.  Yikes and yuck. I am SO tired of that.

While everything else seems to be collapsing into a frenzy of noisy competition, criticism, and “success,” the world needs for some of us (lots of us!), to be holding a space for being insightful, thoughtful, inspired, creative…

When you read or hear something that is a truth for you, you just know it in your bones, right? I want to find a clear voice for savvy sensitivity that will reach people who may not have thought about being sensitive in this way before, but who will get the concepts instantly.

The first book will help people to learn how to recognize their own individual somatic sensing as a portal to a deep, soulful kind of awareness. The following books will be about applying spiritually savvy sensitive perception as a healing, wholing life practice in all kinds of contexts.

I know there is an audience, maybe small, yet open to this kind of thinking and being, and I hope these Kindle books find their way to people who will love them.

Very soon I will be needing people to read what I am writing, and give me feedback. Let me know if you would like to be on that list!

Between now and then, you might want to check out this teleclass that I am offering in March:
