They feel cellular. Ancient. Remembered by the body long before the mind can fully understand them. During my sauna master training, deep within the woodland, I experienced one of those moments. I had been working with the sacred energies of the snowy owl, Arianrhod, the Sun and Sunna for some time,  all archetypes of sovereignty, cycles, intuition, truth and rebirth. The snowy owl had taught me stillness and observation.

You walk in feeling grounded, clear, open. And leave feeling heavy, foggy, anxious, overstimulated, exhausted or emotionally “not yourself.” Energetic depletion is real. For highly sensitive people, empaths, trauma survivors, healers, carers, and those with open nervous systems, the body is constantly reading the room. Not just words. But tension. Suppressed emotion. Conflict. Expectation. Chaos. Need.

One reaches for closeness because somewhere along the line, love felt inconsistent, unsafe or like it could disappear at any moment.  The other pulls away because intimacy once felt overwhelming, engulfing, unsafe or  conditional.  Neither is wrong.  Neither is broken.  Both are trauma responses.  And yet, when these two souls meet, they often trigger one another’s deepest wounds.  One pursues.
