Daily Divine: Do empaths have O.C.D?

​We sometimes joke that we have OCD, when we’re being particularly fussy about objects or stuff or things.
 
My OCD kicked in, we say as we rearrange something on our desk.
I’ve got OCD, we say as we clean something.
It’s OCD, we say as we move something from one part of the room to another.
 
Now of course, clinical OCD is a real issue, and people who have it suffer. I’ve known several, and it is a tough road.
 
Yet many of us who are sensitive also experience some aspects of OCD, such as being extremely aware of the objects around us.
 
For example, if someone you live with moves a chair from one spot to another in the room, it’s something most people might not notice, or even care about.
 
But for the sensitive person, this shift will be registered immediately: you will sense the change in the energy of the room, a disturbance in the force, so to speak.
 
If you need to have things just so, as many highly sensitive people do, understand that it is not about being fussy or picky or weird or a perfectionist.
 
It’s about needing the energy in your surroundings to be a vibrational match to you.; to be a match to your personal frequency, to the layer or level of energy you’re usually in.
 
It’s a kind of vibrational resonance, and to the sensitive person, everything… and by this I mean everything… plays a part. The chair, the book, the pen, the paper, the way the desk is centered between the window, the temperature in the room, the sounds outside.
 
If something is off. you’re going to notice it. And if you can change it, you probably will. And if you can’t, you’ll notice it and name it and work around it.
 
Every object holds energy. We, the animate, are not more energetic than the inanimate. It’s all energy. And if you’re sensitive, you feel and notice it all.

Much love,
