Squirrel Appreciation Day is a good reminder of something we often overlook: highly sensitive systems aren’t fragile - they’re responsive.
Quick movements, sudden sounds, unpredictable environments… these systems are wired to notice everything. That awareness is protective, not problematic.
When a body is stress-sensitive, the nervous system is often in guard mode - prioritizing safety, conserving energy, and responding early. Regulation has to come first.
This is where light-based support fits naturally.
Gentle, non-invasive light provides the body with usable information - encouraging circulation, cellular communication, and nervous system balance without force.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this reflects balanced fire:
not overstimulation, not suppression - but warmth, steadiness, and flow.
When fire is supported rather than pushed, sensitive systems don’t need to brace.
They can soften, regulate, and respond with more ease.
✨ Save this if you’re learning how to support sensitivity without overwhelming it.
