In this gentle five-minute meditation, memoir coach Michael Williams offers words of encouragement and grounding for those who identify as highly sensitive people (HSPs).
For many of us, sensitivity has long been misunderstood — sometimes dismissed as “too much,” “too emotional,” or even as weakness. But sensitivity is not a flaw. It is a gift — a lantern that illuminates beauty, truth, and meaning in ways others may miss.
This meditation honours both the challenges and the blessings of sensitivity, and shows how it can become a source of creativity and depth in memoir writing.
Reflective Prompt:Write about a time when your sensitivity revealed something others missed. Perhaps you noticed a quiet kindness, an unspoken tension, or a small act of beauty. Tell the story of that moment as only you, with your way of seeing, can tell it.
