Why Some People Feel Cosmic Energy More Deeply

There are certain people who enter an old temple and instantly start being carried by a wave of serenity without any particular explanation and others who go through the same door and don't feel anything out of the ordinary. There are some who cry at the marriage of a stranger, feel the weight of a hospital corridor, or feel the tension in a room before someone has even spoken a word. Not all of these are just thinkers or emotional people. These are individuals that are deeply attuned to cosmic energy, and the difference between them and others is much more interesting than most people realize.

But why does this occur? Why is the cosmic energy so strong for some and not others?

This has nothing to do with being special or better than others. It's about the way that some people are wired at a deeper and more energetic level, and once you realize how this works, everything becomes so much clearer.

First, let's learn a bit about cosmic energy in simple terms before we delve into the reasons some people feel it more.

Imagine that the whole universe is a vast ocean of energy. From the stars in the sky to the chair you are sitting on, everything is vibrating energy at a different velocity. People are also energy! We're sending and receiving this energy in our thoughts, feelings, and even our bodies.

Cosmic energy is the life force that permeates all things. The ancient Indian wisdom refers to it as "prana." It is called "chi" by the Chinese. It is manifested as the planets, moon, sun and stars' influence on our lives in astrology. It is something that is not seen but unites all living things and the universe.

This energy is given to most people without them even knowing. However, there are individuals who are like high-powered antennas. Not only do they hear signals, but they also hear the strong signals, the weak signals, the background noise, and the signals no one else hears. 

This is a lovely way to consider it. Now, picture a room with two radios. Only the nearest, strongest stations can be received with one radio. The other one is so sensitive that it can receive stations from hundreds of kilometers. It's the same room, the same signals in the air but entirely different experiences!

The second radio is a person who is energetically sensitive, with an inner radio that is tuned to a much more subtle frequency that they are not aware of and can't just turn off because it's just how they are made.

This increased sensitivity is quite tangible and is manifested in emotional responses, responses to surroundings, responses to people, and the impact of the planetary and lunar movements on their moods and energies. Those who experience spiritual energy with great intensity sometimes describe the feeling as being more than a passing feeling; it's a feeling that passes through them throughout their bodies. 

1. Their Nervous System Is Wired Differently

Some individuals have a trait that researchers refer to as being a "Highly Sensitive Person" (HSP), meaning that their nervous system absorbs sensory information in a deeper way than the average person, and they are able to sense nuances that others cannot. People feel emotions more strongly than normal in a crowded space, as well as when the environment suddenly changes.

This is not anxiety, and it's not overthinking. It is a real difference in how they receive and process things around them, and it is a difference in biological makeup; these people just are open to feeling cosmic vibrations and are designed that way. 

2. Their Astrological Birth Chart Plays a Big Role

That's where the fun is in astrology. The birth chart is similar to a map of the cosmos of your being. Some spots in that chart make someone a lot more conscious of energy.

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are the most emotional and energetic signs of the zodiac in water signs. Water is an element that erodes boundaries and absorbs the environment. If you have strong placements in your birth chart, the ability to absorb the energy of people and places around you comes easily to you.

These are some major astrological clues to recognize a person's heightened cosmic sensitivity: 

• If your Moon sign is in Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio, it means that you are very emotional and sensitive to unseen energies.

• Placement in the 12th house of the birth chart, which represents dreams, the subconscious, and the spiritual world, is strong.

• A strong placement of Neptune, the planet of mysticism, intuition, and the invisible world!

• Planets located in the 8th house, the house of transformation, secret knowledge, and the occult, will manifest through transformation. 

If you have any of these in your chart, there's a strong cosmic reason why you may feel more energy than people around you. 

3. Past Life Connections and Karmic Sensitivity

In many spiritual traditions, such as those that are rooted in Indian philosophy, it is believed that the soul has the ability to carry memories and lessons from one lifetime to the next. This sensitivity comes through as a person has many past lives spent as a healer, a spiritual seeker, or as someone with a strong connection to cosmic practices.

This is why, for some, there is an inexplicable attraction to astrology, meditation, or healing energy at an early age. They have just taken this road through their souls once before. Their karmic imprints allow them to be more open and aware of energies that others aren't yet able to feel. 

4. Childhood and Emotional Openness

Where we live has a significant effect on us. Kids who are helped to feel, whose families encourage them to be sensitive, intuitive, and emotionally honest, have a much deeper relationship with the inside of themselves. If this openness persists to adulthood, it will result in a human being who is truly more receptive to the subtle cosmic energies.

At the other end of the spectrum, however, children who have been instructed to ignore their emotions or toughen up tend to shut down their sensitivity. They just are turning down the natural energetic receptors. The sensitivity remains, but it's covered with conditioning. 

5. Spiritual Practice Opens the Channel

Regular meditation, yoga practice, prayers, and any other spiritual activity start to open the energy channels in a conscious way. This practice causes their sensitivity to cosmic vibrations over time to increase considerably.

Consider it to be exercising a muscle. The more that you use it, the stronger it will become. The same occurs with your energetic awareness when you practice spiritually regularly. Once a voice that was barely audible from the universe becomes a strong, clear voice. 

If you are having any doubts about this, then it does apply to you. A few anecdotes associated with the energetic nature of people: 

• Struggling to spend extended periods of time in large, noisy groups

• One can sense the attitude of a room as one enters it, even before anybody has said a word

• The full moon actually impacts your sleep, emotions, or energy.

• Others take your pain, joy, and/or worry on to you

• You find a profound sense of peace and renewal when near nature, particularly in the forest, by rivers, and under open skies.

• You have a strong sense of intuition that is usually accurate

• Some places, such as some old temples, ruins of ancient times, or even some buildings, can provide you with strong uncomfortable or comforting feelings.

• You sense the planetary changes and retrogrades much more keenly than others do around you when Mercury or another planet is involved. 

If many of these resonate with you, you are probably a highly connected person with cosmic and spiritual energy. 

It makes a lot of sense that the moon would also affect human emotions and energies, since the human body is composed of water, and the moon governs the tides of the entire ocean.

Highly sensitive humans are generally aware that their state of mind, dreams, sleeping habits, and amount of energy fluctuate considerably based on the phases of the moon. Especially the full moon makes everything more intense and closer to the surface. Sensitive people may feel drawn to concentrate and rest during the new moon, as it offers a gentler, more introspective atmosphere.

It is not a figment of imagination or excessive sensitiveness. It is the universe talking through one of its oldest channels, and for some it is a channel they are more attuned to than others. 

Lots of sensitive folks live years feeling something is wrong with them because they're easily overloaded, are feeling too much, and sometimes can't figure out why they feel a certain way in a given place or around a given person. Society tells them to toughen up or to not be so emotional, adding to the confusion and discomfort they have already.

However, cosmic sensitivity is a gift that is few and far between. Here is why:

• They have a keen sense to make good decisions

• They are able to feel the trouble before it actually becomes a problem.

• They are linked to spiritual energy and can heal, inspire, and uplift others.

• They have a richness and depth to their lives, which many don't have the opportunity to feel. 

But it isn't about being sensitive; it's about learning how to not be overwhelmed by sensitivity, and that can be learned with time and proper awareness. 

Those who are sensitive to cosmic energy need to look after their energetic body as much as their physical body. Here are some helpful practices: 

• Spend time in nature daily: Sensitive persons are deeply grounded by soil, trees, and natural water. The level of reset you get after a 10 minute walk without shoes on grass is pretty high. 

• Meditate consistently: Take 5 minutes of quiet breathing to establish a strong energetic centre before you get out of bed in the morning, and you will not absorb too much from the ambient energy. 

• Set clear personal boundaries: Sensitive individuals tend to over-give. It's okay to say no; it's not selfish. A form of energizing self-care. 

• Pay attention to your birth chart: A knowledge of the most powerful planetary transits in your favor gives you a bit of a head start when it comes to your own emotions and energies. 

• Journal your experiences: Keeping a journal helps you to learn more about yourself throughout time, especially when saying what you're feeling when there are changes in the Moon, planets, and social interactions. 

Learning to study the astrological birth chart in depth is one of the most pragmatic things that a deep sensitive person can do. Your chart shows you your energetic blueprint. It reveals which planets will make you more sensitive, which houses in your horoscope will enhance your intuition, and which cosmic cycles may have a greater impact on your energy levels.

If you have your Moon in Pisces or a very strong Neptune in your chart, for instance, that's a person in your chart whose life is built to feel cosmic vibrations at a deep level. This helps to clear up the confusion about "why am I this way?" It takes the place of the question, “what is wrong with me?” and leads to a much better question, “how do I work best?”

The more attuned you are to your chart, the more you will work with your sensitivity, instead of against it.
