THE GIFT OF SENSITIVITY

 

 

THE GIFT OF SENSITIVITY

For those with a high sensitivity in the feeling body,
the intensity of the inner realms can be overwhelming.

In a world that harshly judges feelings,
it’s easy to believe we are too much,
too sensitive, too intense, too dysregulated —
or that we must be deeply traumatised.

For those who drown in relentless tides of sensation,
therapy and spiritual practice often fails to
reach the core of this experience —
perpetuating the cycle of self-blame and wrongness.

But what if we’re asking the wrong question? 

What if we’re collectively misperceiving feelings?
So conditioned to fix, analyse, and eliminate them,
it never occurs to us to welcome them —
an intelligence we have been collectively unable to receive.

A heightened sensitivity in the feeling body
is not just a skill, it’s a mode of knowing.
The nuanced and delicate maps of Tantric somatic teachings
offers you the specificity you’ve been yearning to receive.

NAVIGATING THE SHADOW

 

 

NAVIGATING THE SHADOW

The feelings we reject are not our demons.
They are unexpected doorways to wholeness,
portals to misperceived, un-lived experience.

When we treat to feelings as problematic —
as me, mine, my trauma, the result of my childhood
we circle endlessly in the tip of the iceberg,
unable to reach the unseen forces beneath.

We call this realm the unconscious:
the engine room of our emotional lives,
compelling us into action before we even know it.

These forces are invisible to most.
But for the highly sensitive feeler,
they are the sensations and vibrations
we constantly feel.

Our current paradigm pours petrol on the flame.
As we learn to shift the habit of attention,
a new inner landscape reveals itself —
allowing us to finally begin to receive.

BALANCING ENERGY

 

 

BALANCING ENERGY

At the heart of Tantric teachings lies a simple truth: 
we are composed of a fundamental polarity of energies —
electric (masculine) and magnetic (feminine).
Together, they weave the vibrational pulse of existence.

Separately, their qualities can be perceived.
One pierces into experience — upright, clear, directed. 
The other receives — fluid, wild, relaxed, unformed.

One aspect is praised, the other judged and feared.

The aim of Tantric practice
is not just to sense the subtle body
but to enter these energies fully — 
allowing them move freely, without obstruction.

Yet unconsciously, we reject our feminine polarity.
We don’t just judge these sensations as wrong, 
we struggle to inhabit our formless, unbounded nature.

This creates imbalance, and with it,
an inability to receive the feelings we fear.

MASCULINE TILTED CONSCIOUSNESS

 

 

MASCULINE TILTED CONSCIOUSNESS

Beneath gender and patriarchy
lie ancient energetic pathways —
shaping how we all meet,
and ultimately perceive, experience.

The masculine aspect of our consciousness
seeks to know, control and transcend.
It pierces into experience,
ultimately trying to eliminate what it deems wrong.

The feminine aspect, long forgotten,
is fluid, slow, soft and vibrational.
It receives experience into itself — not to get rid of,
but to fully take everything IN.

Without resting in its nourishing depths,
we cannot inhabit the effortlessness of Being.
We become trapped in doing, in the effort of transcendence,
and paradoxically, we recreate our suffering.

The unconscious judgement on our experience
is so pervasive, we don’t realise we live inside it.
Yet the vibrational quality of wholeness
can only arise when we receive everything.

THE SENSATES

 

 

THE SENSATES

There are different types of HSPs.
I work specifically with the energetic, somatic sensitives.
The Sensates — what I call the Hyper-Feelers.

These people often don’t know they’re sensitive.
They feel in atmospheres, in pulses and tones.
Not as thought, but as pressure, vibration, unease.

Because their inner experience is so intense,
they often don’t relate to themselves as sensitive.
Instead, they call it anxiety, trauma, reactivity —
A too muchness. A brokenness.

Since they’ve always been this way,
they assume this intensity is “normal” —
but that everyone else is managing better.
So it feels like their insecurities, their wounds.

Without it being named or mirrored,
it becomes an internalised shame.
One that they learn to override, to hide.
A cacophony of sensation that becomes a confusion,
and when spoken, is always reflected back as too much.

They spend their lives immersed in therapy,
spiritual practice, in the underworld of feelings,
seeking places where the hidden can be openly named.

And as such, many become the wounded healer.
But because their inner landscape never truly shifts,
they quietly believe they’re still broken.

Yet what moves inside them is an intelligence.
As they learn to receive this wisdom,
as it begins to illuminate directly in the body,
they begin to trust this different way of knowing.

HUMILITY

 

 

HUMILITY

Deep within us all lies a profound fear
a felt sense of separation from Oneness.
So deep, most of us can’t even feel it.

A shadow we spend our lives running from.
We fear it, brace against it, try to control our circumstances.
We blame ourselves or worse,
project it onto others and the world.

We try to transcend this human realm,
rather than turn toward it with love.

When we meet our experience through the personal lens,
the judgement and contraction intensifies.
When we turn toward what is obviously distressed
blamed, hated and exiled
with a sweet and humble kindness,
something very different begins to happen.

“Sweetheart, my darling, I am so sorry —
Forgive me! I know I misperceive you.
Show me how to be with you,
so we may be at ease in each other’s presence.”

The feminine aspect of our consciousness is soft.
As we learn to rest into its nourishing depths,
to create safety for all that has been rejected
not to fix, but to welcome it home
something new is revealed.

BEFRIENDING DARKNESS

To meet the feelings we resist,
we must enter the realms where they are hidden.

A terrain so soft so unfamiliar
it feels as though we are doing nothing.

The feeling realm is a direct path
to the vibrational nectar of our Being.

Instead of rising toward the light,
where we ignore or transcend feelings
we descend into the restful depths
where we can finally receive them.

Darkness, however, moves differently to light.

FEELING WHISPERERS

Feelings are like wild stallions,
refusing to be controlled, tamed or blamed.

When met with judgement and resistance,
they buck against the injustice
of the misperception that inhibits them.

Welcome them with love beneath the story
and their magnificence will be revealed.

These feelings aren’t you.
You came in with them.
They’re more collective than individual
the feelings we collectively misperceive.

How you meet them shapes how they respond.

RELAXATION IS KEY

ABOUT ME

After a lifetime of psychotherapy and meditation, I lost faith in healing. No matter how many therapy sessions, trainings, or retreats, the core intensity of my shame and worthlessness persisted. I was a psychotherapist who no longer believed in therapy.

In this darkness, I stumbled upon Tibetan Tantric somatic meditation. At first, it simply brought relief. As I learnt to rest into the vibration of essence, these somatic maps began to give me a precision of inner navigation that rewrote everything.

It didn’t just shift how I saw trauma — it gave me a way to dial down the intensity of my feeling body. For the first time, I could meet my experience with ease. 

There was nothing wrong with me — it was sensitivity. What I had mistaken as trauma was, in fact, condensed energy. I could lovingly receive what had always misperceived as terrifying.

I am so grateful for this work, which to me feels so radical: a calling into being and feeling deeply in resonance with the aliveness of the world. Lorella’s guidance is refined and exquisite

Words fall short to express my gratitude for Lorella and what she brings into my life. Nowhere else have I seen such masterful shepherding of inner processes for highly sensitive people who want to move beyond the therapeutic relationship.

“I have learnt so much that has changed my life forever. Initially I found it challenging to put my ‘story’ aside and start paying attention to the quality of my emotions, perceptions and subtle feelings. Now I have a jewel of knowing that will always stay with me.

“I have been listening
to the love songs of
Form longing for formless.

What are these energies
Undulating through our bodies,
Pulsing us into action?

And this “matter” out of which
our forms are made –

What are these dancing particles
Of condensed radiance?”

— Lorin Roche

WORKING TOGETHER

I offer individual sessions, workshops, practice sessions and immersions. I work with highly sensitive feelers. If you’re interested in working together, let’s book a free 15-minute Zoom call to see if we’re a good fit.

PODCAST

“Mysteries of the Feeling Realm”
is a podcast that explores the feeling realm from two wildly different feeling bodies. Different in their apporach, Lorella Ricci and Cole Knazovicky ended up in very similar terrain. Join us!

IMMERSION

The next immersion will be “The Sensual Ground”, a one moth Immersion starting at the end of April, for locals, and in May for those who need to work with me online. A month of practice to open into Essence.

JOIN THE FEELING TRIBE

If you’re a feeler, being connected to other feelers is essential.
Being able to be radically authentic with others who have the same capacity
opens a whole new level of intimacy and healing.
