Vibrant Days… Flourishing with Sensory Processing Sensitivity
Simply put, this book aims to show you that you–your brain, your mind–can undergo a profound permanent change; one that you probably have no idea about. Please trust me on this: There is a way you could live with a sense of peace and well-being almost all the time, 24/7/365. Now maybe stop a moment and imagine what that might mean for you.
(Or maybe you can’t do this imagining because you are highly skeptical, or you are an atheist or agnostic and picked up this book in spite of mixed feelings about spirituality being in the title. It’s okay. What I’m asking you to imagine is in no way supernatural. And I’m not overly fond of the term spirituality either. We’ll have a heart-to-heart about it early in chapter 1.)
To be clear, it is not that, once in this state, you become a saint. The change is usually gradual and to some degree goes on throughout your life, progressing to even more advanced states. Yet a big, clear permanent shift usually does occur at the start. Once it has, instead of being drawn into all the chaos, it is as though you have suddenly begun to calmly witness it. There is a peculiar sense of bliss, not as an emotion but as something more subtle. A freedom. This initial shift does not mean that you will never be unhappy or upset again or that you will lose all desire to improve the world, but all of that goes on within a silent sense of equanimity.
