Worrying, dubbing and doubting… Maybe you suffer from compulsive worrying or you lie awake at night, or you are agitated because you are brooding, you are sad or you have stomach ache because you see so many bears on the road. It is also possible that you get upset by a ‘wrong’ choice or clumsy behaviour and worry about it and think ‘If only I had…’, for example, and take a long time to choose.
When worrying seems as if you have no control over your thoughts. Worrying can be very frustrating. Worrying can also cost a lot of energy and make you tired. (more…)
Highly sensitive persons (HSP) often recognize themselves in these HSP characteristics. Usually they have a great sense of responsibility; maybe you should do a lot from yourself and you are always busy with werk? If you are always busy and don’t have enough time for relaxation, you may experience a full head and fatigue.Rest and relaxation are important, in this way your sensitive nervous system comes to rest and all impressions that you (unconsciously) have gained are processed. Often this is difficult for HSP, you may get distracted quickly if you take a rest or start worry?You can learn to relax in many ways. However, not every way fits well with HSP. Yoga usually ties in well with tired HSP. A modern term for yoga is art of living: creating a lifestyle that makes you happily sustainable. In the West, body postures and meditation are the best known steps in yoga, which help to relax.
Meditation meaning
The word meditation is derived from the Latin meditatio. It has a link with the words:
meditari: what reflection or reflection means
medere, which means cure
You can practise meditation, it is a way of life and (conscious) Being. It is an intrinsic part of your potential, which you remember in your mind: you realize what your Core is and you do not identify with your mind.For example, suppose you suffer from fatigue, you can think “I’m tired,” or you can think, “My body is feeling tired and in need of rest.” When you think the first you identify yourself (unconsciously) with your body, which is easier to cause stress than with the second thought. You are much more than your body, emotions and thoughts!In particular, steps 5 to 8 of Patanjali indicate the various stages associated with meditation, although you can also experience this in the other steps.
Meditating benefits
Meditating is an addition to regular health care; always consult a medical doctor in case of complaints. The following are examples of benefits that meditation can give . How the benefits manifest themselves differs from person to person and depends on how often and how long someone meditates.
General benefits:
You become more energetic.
Your health is promoted.
You become calmer and more relaxed.
You experience more happiness.
Physical benefits:
Your body comes to rest. Substances that create stress (such as cortisol) can reduce.
Your body contact is improved. For example, you will realize what your body needs more quickly and you can respond to it faster (in this way you can eat on time, instead of getting hungry; then it is already too late).
Emotional benefits:
You can better deal with emotions, such as fear and strong emotions.
You experience more compassion.
You are at peace.
You live in the Now.
You feel more connected with Yourself and others.
You feel more freedom.
You experience feelings more intensely, you get more positive feelings and you can enjoy them more.
Mental benefits:
You calm your thoughts. Meditation helps to clear your head.
You become more focused and you increase your concentration (worrying and wandering become less).
Your self-confidence can increase (and negative thoughts about yourself, for example about uncertainty, will also be transformed).
Your self-awareness is increased and you are aware of your intuition. You have clear insight into yourself and what, for example, your life purpose and goal on earth is and which choices benefit you. You can easily distinguish what belongs to yourself or someone else.
Relational benefits
You have more empathy.
You have more compassion.
You can better deal with conflicts.
You can forgive yourself and otherseasier.
Much scientific research has been done on meditation, including Dr. John Kabat Zinn and scientists at Harvard University .
HSP TV: a YouTube video about meditating
In this episode of HSP TV I interview Mathijs van der Beek. As a child, Mathijs suffered from disadvantages associated with high sensitivity. For example, he was sometimes tired . In this video he tells how he discovered that he was highly sensitive and what helped him. Mathijs tells about meditation. Because what exactly is meditation and how can you meditate? Mathijs gives various tips and an exercise. HSP can benefit greatly from meditation!This videos is in Dutch with English subtitles. To get the subtitles:

Major misunderstandings about meditation unraveled
In my view there is no such thing as ‘the truth’, but there are several truths and realities. I invite you to discover your own truth :). Below you will find my truth about meditation for inspiration. In my view, there are various misunderstandings about meditation, such as that:
It’s boring; you can make it as much fun as you want!
It takes a long time and you have to meditate for at least 1 hour straight and you don’t have time for this when it is busy; you can meditate as long and as long as you like.
You must be in a lotus position; you can meditate in any position. The most important thing is to choose an attitude that is comfortable for you. This can be, for example, sitting on a chair or lying on a yoga mat.
You have to stop your thoughts. Meditating is about consciously ‘playing’ with your thoughts and examining, observing and recognizing them. It is not the goal of meditating that you no longer have thoughts, but you learn to deal with them differently and approach them differently. In this way you can change and transform a vicious circle of continuous thoughts.
You have to sit still and your body should hurt. If you feel itchy or are no longer comfortable, you can definitely sit at the itch spot or find another comfortable position. You should make it as easy and pleasant as possible for yourself.
It is ‘ vague ‘ or ‘floaty’. Meditation is an age-old, proven, scientifically based method. Although it is possible to observe
Learn to meditate in 6 steps:
Step 1. Determine your goal
Why do you want to meditate and what do you want to achieve? It is important that you define your own goal (instead of your environment). Your personal goal can help you move forward and nudge you to meditate if you:
Feel like you’re too busy once.
Think there are other things more important than meditation.
Get distracted while meditating.
Just can’t afford the energy to meditate.
Step 2. Choose a location that feels comfortable for you
Basically, you can meditate anywhere. Start practicing meditation in a space where there are few sensory stimuli. For example, meditate in a relatively quiet space, with few objects and a fine temperature, and keep your eyes closed. This can be in the house on the edge of your bed, behind your desk or in the bath.
Step 3. Find a comfortable position
The best known ways to meditate are by lying down or sitting down. Make yourself as comfortable as possible. For example, you can meditate on a meditation cushion or meditation bench.You can also meditate in your daily life with your eyes open! There is then complete openness to all impressions, without distracting attention from clear thinking. Just think of meditation:
In sports
If you do something creative
If you’re intimate
If you walk in nature
If you perform yoga postures
If you’re in the train
Especially if you are highly sensitive, it is ideal if you can do this, although it can be extra challenging if you have not yet mastered your high sensitivity ;).
Step 4. Learn to relax your body, emotion and thoughts
Step 5. Aim your attention consciously
You can then take any subject of your choice into consideration. Think of your body, breathing, heart, the Yamas & Niyamas, or the mantra Ohm (Aum or Om) and imagine love flowing through your body. According to some, the Ohm sound was created at the time of creation and was the first sound of the universe. This can provide a sense of Oneness and infinite cosmic consciousness.You can do several meditation exercises of Mathijs below:HSP Meditation exercise of Mathijs (mentioned in the HSP TV video above):
Go sit or lie quietly.
Breathe in and out a few times (for example 5) so that your body relaxes.
If you notice that you are relaxed visualize a golden net. With this net you can catch all the emotions in your body and around your body. Let the net go right through your body and release the emotions. Then open the net outside your body and let all the emotions suck through the golden net.
Then release the golden net. It will rise up and transform into golden healing energy that flows over you like golden rain. Allow this energy completely. In all your cells.
Relax for a while and then come back in 4 breaths.

Another HSP meditation exercise of Mathijs to help you with earthing and cosmic grounding:
Step 6. Practice!
It is a big misunderstanding that meditation is difficult. Anyone can meditate.It is quite normal that meditating in the beginning is not flawless. You learn to let go, with silence and less stimuli. ‘Old’ energy that has not yet been processed can come to the surface. This can manifest itself in restlessness/strain and emotions (such as frustration). The more you practice, the better you can meditate. Give yourself time, have patience and persevere!Many people make the mistake of starting too fanatically; they start with an hour of meditation, keep this up for a few days, then think “it doesn’t work yet” and stop. This is a shame! So start small for example with a meditation that lasts a few minutes and build up the time very slowly.See meditation as a process with possible ‘peaks’ and ‘troughs’, don’t be discouraged by this! Seek help from a professional if you feel uncomfortable while meditating: this is not the intention :).

A New Age child is a child or adult, displaying specific features that resonate with the New Age. This is the Aquarian era. It is unclear who first introduced the term New Age child. In any case, a New Age adult or child is derived from the term New Age. Those children have always been there, even in the ‘Old’ Piscean Age. However, more of this children are currently being born.
It is a misunderstanding that a New age child is always a child. In the Netherlands, child is often taken to mean “someone who is no longer growing and who is not yet an adult (eighteen years)”. However, growing can be physical, but also emotional, mental and spiritual and is often not age-related.
If you were born in the Aquarian age, that does not automatically mean you are a child of the and you are consciously using this Aquarian energy in your life. You can also have ‘old’ Pisces consciousness and use this energy in your life: you can be an ‘Old Age Child’.
In this video I summarize a few things and share some features of New Age beings (more features I share under the video). This video is in Dutch with English subtitles. To get the subtitles:

In many cases the term New Age child seems correct, because more children (under 18 years) are resonating with this Aquarian consciousness.
In some cases, the term New Age Adult/Being seems more appropriate, for example if people are over eighteen and (usually after a “crisis”) consciously work with this Aquarian energy.
New Age Child Test
There is no free online science-based New Age child test to find out if you are a child or human of the New Age. However, you can feel for yourself whether you are, for example on the basis of the characteristics below.
New Age Child Characteristics
Keep in mind that each child of the New Age is unique and the characteristics can vary from person to person. Sometimes these characteristics are called New Age child Symptoms: however this is incorrect because being a New Age adult/child is not a disease.
Physical characteristics:
You are having trouble with motor skills.
You have been a crying baby.
You have skin conditions such as eczema.
You are having trouble sleeping.
You are hypersensitive, for example for food. For example, New Age children may have nutritional intolerances.
Emotional features
You want to create unity and harmony. For example, some New Age children may oppose ‘box thinking’.
You can be intense emotional (like sad, anxious or being angry).
You feel ‘different’, misunderstood, or lonely .
Mental features
You are idealistic.
You are stubborn.
You are rebellious.
You have or had wise statements for your age.
You are gifted .
You have dyslexia .
You have dyscalculie.
You are dreamy.
You are being absent and withdrawn, you do nt longer having good contact with the reality and the Here and Now.
You lik to find depth.
Spiritual features
You are highly sensitive: New Age children often recognize themselves in these HSP characteristics.
You experience connectedness, for example with animals (maybe you you love vegetarian food) and nature.
You are an old soul.
Each New Age being has specific qualities. In practice, there can be a big difference in the speed at which physical (motor), emotional (including social), mental (language, math, intellectual) and spiritual skills and qualities develop.
For example, some New Age children recognize themselves in the qualities of a Indigo or Crystal child. A Crystal Child is an example of a New Age being, but not all New Age children are a Crystal Child. They can also be an Indigo child, or have other qualities.
If a New Age being has not yet mastered his qualities properly, he can suffer from all kinds of complaints. In the regular circuit, for example, New Age children (sometimes wrongly) are given ‘labels’ such as ADHD, ADD , PDD-NOS and Autism.
Tip:
In case of complaints, also consult a medical doctor and find guidance that suits you. For example, New Age beings often benefit from holistic vision and alternative medicine.

Do you want to know what highly sensitive person traits or characteristics are? This article will help you further!
HSP problems
Are you tired quickly or is your head ‘full’ of something? Do you suffer from other people’s opinions? This can be due to high sensitivity.
HSP test
Approximately 1 in 5 people is a highly sensitive person (HSP). With this HSP test you can find out whether you are highly sensitive. Highly sensitive people are (unconsciously) extra open to stimuli and impressions: they can experience stimuli more intensely compared to non-HSP. Being high-sensitivity has many advantages, so HSP can enjoy their life intensely.
However, if you still do not control your high-sensitivity properly, this can lead to many complaints and disadvantages. For example, if you have received too many stimuli and become over-stimulated, you may experience a lot of annoyance. Long-term examples are (chronic) fatigue or a burn-out. If you become over-stimulated, it is easier to perceive negative energy, which can lead you into a vicious circle. It is then often difficult to gain insight into yourself and to break through this…
However, high sensitivity doesn’t have to make you tired. You can also develop qualities that belong to high sensitivity and be productive! If you develop more insight into your qualities and pitfalls, you can adjust your thought and/or life pattern, so that you experience more energy and are more productive.
Highly sensitive person traits
Below you find 5 important highly sensitive person traits or characteristics that can be part of high sensitivity; qualities as well as possible disadvantages if you do not yet optimally control your high sensitivity.
The characteristics and traits of high sensitivity vary from person to person. You can apply the traits and characteristics to both adults and children.
Highly sensitivity symptoms or characteristics
Note: the following high-sensitivity traits or characteristics are sometimes called ‘high-sensitivity symptoms’. This term is incorrect, because a symptom always represents a phenomenon or characteristic of a disease. High sensitivity is not a disease, but a wonderful quality if you manage it well!
You function best at your own pace. If you have not yet mastered your high-sensitivity, you do not like it when you are observed; it may make you nervous.
You learn fast
You are cautious because you can see the consequences quickly
In your work quality and satisfaction are just as important as salary
You experience that you are sensitive to stimuli such as pain
You experience strong emotions
HSP trait 4. In your relationship with other people:
You can feel very responsible. If you don’t control your high sensitivity yet, you can lose yourself in this and eliminate yourself.
You can empathize with others and perceive what others need.
You can feel the atmospheres and moods of others well. Through these points you can help others easily and quickly.
You can be touched by heartfelt remarks. If you have not yet mastered your high-sensitivity, unfriendly remarks can quickly upset you.
HSP trait 5: You have a special inner experience:
You experience a rich inner world.
If you don’t control your high sensitivity yet, you can experience:
Difficulty to stick to your own energy (you can feel you are like a “sponge” or chameleon) and therefore you can;
– involve / take over the emotions of others on yourself
– easily overloaded in an environment with many impressions (e.g. by people and/or sounds) and feeling tired or empty
– quickly suffer from stress symptoms
– experience frequent mood swings
– experience a sensitivity to addictions or depression
You need a lot of time to recover from impressions/events (you like it to be alone)
That you don’t always feel understood and therefore bother about whether or not you withdraw.
Your sensitivity lowers your self-esteem, which can go hand in hand with embarrassment.
Which highly sensitive person traits do you recognize yourself in?
Share it in the comments!
[nv-custom-layout id=”1639″]
About 1 in 5 people is a highly sensitive person (HSP) and recognizes themselves in these HSP characteristics. HSPs are extra open to energy, also to energy from places. For example, there are places that can cost HSP energy. There are also places that give energy; I recommend you to visit those places!
What gives energy is personal. In general, power spots provide energy. One of these power spots are the pyramids in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are also called “Visoko pyramids”. Below I share practical information about what these pyramids are, what they look like, what has been researched / measured and my experiences with the pyramid energy.
I also share useful tips (such as my favorite vegan and gluten-free eateries) if you also go to these pyramids.
Tip: my experience is that it is nice to visit 1/maximum 2 power places per day (I recommend to spread 2 power places over different parts of the day with a break in between) as a HSP, so that the energy can be experienced and can ‘sink’.
Visit the Bosnian pyramids with or without a guide?
At some locations there are guides available, below you can read more about this. Many places I visited with a guide first, because I could not find the places myself. For example, you can indicate in advance at Park Ravne 2 that you want to go to one or more places with a guide and discuss the possibilities.
Pyramids in Bosnia and Herzegovina
It is said that there are pyramids in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Visočica hill in Visoko.
What is a pyramid?
There are different definitions of what a pyramid is. A pyramid often meets these characteristics:
It has geometric shapes and is built from certain proportions (for example, those proportions are related to Phi/de fibonacci series).
It has specific building materials.
It is related to the wind directions (the sides are precisely matched to the 4 wind directions).
It is related to the winter, summer, autumn and/or spring equinox (for example the sun can be seen at the top of the pyramid during one of these events).
It’s close to water (like The Nile, which is close to the pyramids).
It’s related to leylines and volcanic lines.
There are tunnels (also found in Egypt)/rooms. A picture of Egyptian pyramids:
A pyramid can also be a pyramid without a Pharaoh being found in it.
Pyramid of Love: marked with number 3 on the map below. This pyramid is located on private property.
Pyramid of the Dragon: marked with number 5 on the map below. You can only walk to this Pyramid.
Together with Mathijs I attended 2 conferences of Dr. Sam Semir Osmanagic.
Are you going to come here too? Tip: be open minded. Feel what’s right for you and take with you what makes you happy and what feels ‘right’ for you/. We didn’t agree with everything, but we did like the fact that we attended the conferences.
How old are the pyramids?
The Bosnian pyramids are thought to be 12,000-15,000 years old. Under the Bosnian pyramids it is older. The C14 dating (carbon dating) age is about 29,200 years (with a backlash of about 400 years), the calibrated age is 34,000 years.
Dr. Sam Semir Osmanagic investigated further in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
-KTK tunnels (these cannot be visited for safety reasons): marked with number 6 on the map above.
–underground labyrinth Ravne: marked with number 7 on the map above. Ravne is best known and is heading towards the Pyramid of the Sun. Nearby is the Park Ravne 2 and a Healing Forest.
Dr. Sam Semir Osmanagic has written books about these pyramids, like: “Pyramids around the world & lost pyramids of Bosnia” and “Ancient history – From beyond the Veil”. Some of his books are free to read.
Below you will find more information about some of these places: practical information, what to see and my experiences. Keep in mind that experiences are very personal: what one person thinks is fantastic, another person doesn’t have to find fantastic, etc. A place (regardless of whether you experience it as positive, negative or neutral) can help you to grow further.
How are the pyramids made?
There are different visions of who made the pyramids. Some people think that the pyramids:
And the above mentioned places do not exist and are made by nature. For example, some people are reluctant to recognize and investigate pyramids for economic/political reasons. There has been resistance from different sides to investigate the pyramids in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Have been made by gods.
Have been created by aliens.
Have been made by people, for example with thought force/magnetism/gravity and in collaboration with nature.
Sometimes people think that there is a combination of the above.
Tip: go there yourself and experience what’s right for you!
Pyramidal energy: what is the function and energy of pyramids?
There are different views on the usefulness of pyramids and the energy they have to do with, such as:
Cemetries
Energy portals, for example to travel through time and space (teleportation)
Communication portals
Some people perceive physically, emotionally and mentally that the energy of pyramids does something to them. Some people notice that the self-healing capacity is addressed and life force is increased. Other people notice that old ‘pain’/blockages come to the fore, which they can then transform.
Below are some examples of what pyramid energy may do to you:
Physical effects
Experience more energy
Observe that products such as food have a longer shelf life
Observe that wounds heal faster
Bacterium/fungal/virus killer (pathogen killer)
Emotional effects
Be happier
Experience more emotional balance
Mental effects
Observing oneness
Tips:
Ask advice from a medical doctor in case of complaints.
Go there yourself and experience what’s right for you!
Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun: the oldest, highest and largest pyramid in the world?
Some people think that the Pyramid of the Sun is the oldest and largest pyramid (220 meters high) in the world.
Excavations of the Pyramid of the Sun
Practical
Signs indicate the Pyramid of the Sun; this leads you to the excavations of the Pyramid of the Sun.
There is a parking space indicated next to a souvenir shop, please note that this parking space has been paid for (in September 2018: 2 KM). This is not clearly indicated.
Although there is a ‘donation ticket’ on a sign, you are expected to pay a ticket to view these excavations. With a donation ticket you can view the excavations yourself, or you can do this with a guide who is present. You do not need to book a guide in advance.
Mathijs and I went up with the present guide, which is a 10 minute walk with an occasional break and explanation. Some explanations are also on signs.
You can walk from the excavations to the pyramid, which seems to take about 45 minutes and is not pleasant to walk. I advise you to walk the pyramid via the main road (as described below).
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the parking lot: 2 because it is steep (you have to walk stairs).
Measurements
It has been measured that the earth above the pyramid structure is 12,000-15,000 years old.
A fossilized sheet was found between 2 concrete blocks and is 29,200 years old (with a backlash of about 400 years).
What can you see here?
Excavations and several layers of rocks such as concrete and crystals.
Below you can see some of the concrete blocks. It has been researched that they have been made artificially. They consist of rocks, pebbles and sand (all from the underground tunnels). Melted clay served as a binding agent. These concrete blocks are harder than modern concrete blocks and have lower water absorption.
With measurements, an iron plate was found under the pyramid.
It is still unclear why the Pyramid of the Sun and other phenomena exist and by whom it was made. No bones of the builders or building material were found.
It is sometimes thought that the Pyramid of the Sun possibly served to create/strengthen energy and/or as a communication portal.
A sign at the excavations of the Pyramid of the Sun says that the Pyramid of the Sun amplifies vital energy (chi, prana, orgone energy). It also says that the Pyramid served as an energy machine and was used for:
What did I think of the excavations of the Pyramid of the Sun?
I found it interesting to see. Mathijs and I were glad that we went up with a guide. I recommend that you first look at the excavations and then take a look at the top of the pyramid.
Climbing the top of the Pyramid of the Sun
Practical
Signs indicate where the Pyramid of the Sun is. Keep in mind that these signs indicate where the above mentioned excavations of the Pyramid of the Sun are; here you won’t find the top of the pyramid!
If you want to go to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, you can do this by car. You first follow the signs to the Pyramid of the Sun, but you don’t park at the indicated places. You also ignore the signs that indicate that you must go to the right, because you still have to drive a lot straight ahead. If at some point you see apartments in the distance (apartments Piramida Sunca: see the right side of the picture), then there is the pyramid almost opposite about it. You can park your car at the bottom of the top of the pyramid. Here are a number of cars with sellers (bottom right of the picture) promoting their wares (like sheepskins and stones).
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the car park near the top: 4. Please note that the walk to the top is sometimes steep and tough; there are loose stones and walking shoes and poles are practical. The walk from the parking lot to the top takes if you walk quietly and take peek breaks about 18 minutes. The walking route is not indicated.
At the top of the pyramid a frequency of 28 kHz was measured in a radius of 4.5 meters. It is thought that this frequency is good for levitation/communication.
The Schumann resonance has been measured over the entire pyramid. It is thought that this resonance can help people to develop physically, mentally and spiritually.
It has been researched that the North side of the pyramid almost completely (with a deviation of 1 degree) corresponds to the cosmic North: it has a deviation of 12 seconds. It is said that this pyramid has the most exact orientation. The Pyramid of Cheops from Egypt (previously known as the largest and oldest pyramid in the world) has a deviation of 2 minutes.
What can you see here?
At the top of the Pyramid of the Sun you have a view of the surroundings and the city. There is also a kind of hole (someone was meditating in this hole when I visited the Pyramid) and a relatively new stone wall/circle that marks where there used to be a medieval fortress. In the video and photo below I share an impression of the Pyramid of the Sun.

What did I think of the Pyramid of the Sun and the pyramid energy?
I liked the view of the pyramid, it was a bit like sitting in a plane.
The first time I was here, it was relatively quiet: there were about 10 people when we were there. I liked that. In the weekend it is busier.The energy of the Pyramid of the Sun in general did not feel spectacular to me. I had the feeling that especially at the bottom of the pyramid people have been busy with the pyramid. At the center of the Pyramid of the Sun I felt the energy move. I sat down there: the energy felt very positive for me, bright, light and nourishing. It had a pleasant effect on my head: I experienced more clarity. I can wholeheartedly recommend HSP to find the centre and to consciously feel/sit here (tip: you can ask for a guide at Park Ravne 2 in advance to help you with this).
Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon
It is thought that after the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon (190 meters high) is the largest pyramid in the world.
Practical
There are 2 routes to reach the Pyramid of the Moon. The road is relatively bumpy; most often you can use a Jeep, but not with an ordinary car. At Park Ravne 2 we booked a guide (who had a good car) to visit the Pyramid of the Moon. From the bridge it takes about 12 minutes to drive up. This is a private property. I understood that it costs money to visit this place. When we visit this place we ask the owners if that’s okay. We park the car and give a donation afterwards.
Useful to know: there are relatively many mosquitoes on the pyramid (especially at the centre); put on covered clothes.
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the parking lot to the center: 1 (the road goes up a bit). It takes about 2.5 minutes to walk from the car park to the centre. The hiking route is not signposted.
On the Pyramid of the Moon a frequency of 42 kHz is measured.
What can you see here?
On one of the roads towards the Pyramid of the Moon it is possible to obtain drinking water along the side of the road. It is said that drinking it can help some women to get pregnant.
Excavations have been carried out at various places, where various layers of rock can be seen: sandstone and clay. Nobody knows how this was made: the stones look as if they have been laid down by humans.
A man who wanted to investigate exactly how this was done had tried to dig as far as possible, but at a certain moment he couldn’t get any further because a stone was too hard.
We’ve meditated on the center of the pyramid.
There was also an excavated hole; during excavations ’empty spaces’ were found here, which may indicate tunnels.
We were the only visitors, I loved the peace and quiet atmosphere.
In this video you can see the Pyramid of the Moon (including the way to the center of this Pyramid):
The energy of the center of the pyramid felt great, like coming home. I was moved by it. The energy felt soft, mild and relatively feminine. It felt ‘quiet’ and connected with ancestors and water. I had the feeling that this place can help you to purify energetically and to further discover ‘old’ knowledge in you and let this flow. Mathijs and I have made an exercise here for HSP, which I shared in my Dutch Volle Maan Jaarprogramma.
Hladovina Debela kod Dzevde
This is a picnic area and is situated halfway up the Pyramid of the Moon. Freely translated ‘Hladovina Debela kod Dzevde’ means ‘thick shadow’. Here you can sit in the shade when the weather is sunny. The terrace of the picnic area is built by the owner.
It is sometimes thought that on this plateau is the original entrance to the Pyramid of the Moon. Sometimes people meditate here.
Practical
This is a private property. You have to pay an entrance fee (at the moment we are there 1 KM per person). More information can be found on this Facebookpage.
You can find Hladovina Debela kod Dzevde by going to the left after the ‘Moonwater’ (see the picture above). Follow the road; at a certain moment Hladovina Debela kod Dzevde is on the right side. You have to walk up a bit: on the left side there is a staircase, that’s the easiest route.
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the parking lot: 2.5 (you have to walk up a steep slope or climb stairs). The walking route is not indicated.
What can you see here?
Clay and stones. Some stones have shifted, just like clay.
Furthermore, you have a view of the Pyramid of the Sun (on the right of the picture), Pyramid of Love (in the middle of the picture) and the Temple of Mother Earth (which is on the left and is not visible on the picture).
What did I think of Hladovina Debela kod Dzevde?
I loved the view! The energy felt a little bit vortex-like, grounding and quiet. It helped me to open my heart even further.
Bosnian Pyramid of Love
The Pyramid of Love is about as high as the Pyramid of the Moon.
Practical
This is private property and in principle not to be visited. Sometimes it is possible to pay an entrance fee and/or to visit it by booking a tour through the shop at the Park Ravne 2 (we did that).
You can reach a part with a normal car, the last part you have to walk. With a Jeep or something like that you can drive all the way there.
The easiest way is to follow the signs to the Pyramid of the Sun. Then you drive straight ahead at the road signs where you can park, towards the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. At a certain moment you can go somewhere to the left. If you follow that road you’ll end up at a fence and you’ll see a house in the distance.
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from just before the gate where you can park your car: 1.
What can you see here?
Grass and fairly flat land.
There is also a fire pit to be seen.
Furthermore, you have views of other Pyramids, including the Pyramid of the Sun.
What did I think of the Pyramid of Love and the pyramid energy?
When I was there it was raining and I stayed briefly on this Pyramid. It felt like a calm, quiet place.
Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon
The Pyramid of the Dragon is 90 metres high.
Practical
You can only walk here. You can hear minarets.
Difficulty in walking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the foot up: 4. From the school (at the bottom of the foot of the Pyramid) it is about 30 minutes up to the top if you walk mindful and quiet and have occasional viewing pause holds. There are steep walks, good walking shoes and walking sticks are handy. Tip: do not go if it has rained or rains: it is very slippery. The walking route is not indicated (therefore a guide can be useful, you can book a guide in advance from Park Ravne 2).
What can you see here?
The pyramid of the Dragon consists of forest. At the top it is possible to meditate. In the video below you get an impression of the Pyramid of the Dragon:
What did I think of the Pyramid of the Dragon and the pyramid energy?
When I was there it rained and I stayed short on this pyramid. The energy felt dynamic, creative and woody.
Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon: the Plateau (Dragon’s Nest)
Practical
You can take the car in the direction of the plateau and park your car at the bottom. The plateau (and Dragon’s Nest) is located on private property: going to the plateau costs E5,- per person. You can contact Sead Fatic if you want to visit his place.
Moeilijkheidsgraad (1 is eenvoudig en 5 zeer uitdagend) vanaf de parkeerplaats: 2. Je moet een trap lopen. Vanaf de voet is het ongeveer 4 minuten bewust wandelen naar het plateau. Zorg voor wandelschoenen of schoenen met een goed profiel: vooral het aflopen van het plateau kan glad zijn. Soms zijn er geiten / schapen (en zijn er uitwerpselen van). De wandelroute staat niet aangegeven, maar spreekt voor zich (je neemt de trap en loopt naar boven).
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is easy and 5 very challenging) from the car park: 2. You have to climb stairs. From the foot, it is about a 4-minute walk to the plateau. Make sure you have hiking boots or shoes with a good tread: especially walking down the plateau can be slippery. Sometimes there are goats / sheep (and droppings). The walking route is not signposted, but is self-explanatory (you take the stairs and walk up).
What can you see here?
On the plateau there is a stone circle: in the middle there is one large stone, sometimes with a stone (ball).
Furthermore, a small stone pyramid can be seen.
There is also a stone ball to be seen.
In addition, on the ground there are shapes made of stones.
Bosnian Gems/7 mineral crystals
There are also (precious) stones for sale on arrival, the photo below shows some of them.
The stones mentioned above do not have an official name, but are called Bosnian Gems and “7 mineral crystals” because there are 7 minerals in them:
Rock crystal
Citrine
Green Calcite
Manganese Calcite
Orange Calcite
White Calcite
Zoisite
The seven mineral crystals come from the area of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon. Some people have measured that these crystals have a high Bovis value (of at least 68,000). My experience with these crystals is positive: I have seen beautiful pieces with a fine energy.
Update
My highly sensitive sister in law Laura van der Beek and brother in law Bouke Jonker are owners of gemstone shop “Blije Buddha” in the Netherlands. You will be able to view these Bosnian/7 mineral crystals at their premises and purchase them online or ‘in real life’. Tip: contact them for the current status and the current offer.
What did I think about the Pyramid of the Dragon Plateau?
The energy on the plateau felt dynamic. I felt a lot of movement and dynamics. In the stone circle are all small stones. I found 2 stones that I held for a while: one stone felt soft and feminine (and connected to a female ascended master), the other stone felt very grounding. These 2 stones were for me the highlight of this visit. I also liked to feel the little ball in the middle of the stone circle :).
Temple of Mother Earth
The Temple of Mother Earth is about as high as the Pyramid of the Moon. On the sides of the Temple of Mother Earth there are two triangle shapes.
Practical
You can only walk here. Tip: book in advance a guide of Park Ravne 2, who knows the way (and also where there are landmines and how to avoid them).
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the foot to the top: 5. The walking route is not signposted (go as indicated above with a guide and prevent you from walking the wrong way and coming into contact with landmines).
You walk through the right part of the above picture up and down. It is a very steep part. Do not go:
If you have no experience with mountain hiking,
If it rains: it’s too slippery then.
If it rained: it’s too slippery then.
If you don’t know where landmines are.
Attention: don’t walk down the other way: if you walk wrong, you will walk into the landmine area.
It is useful to walk with walking shoes and to walk with walking sticks.
What can you see here?
The temple consists of forest.
At the top of the temple are small boulders.
On the left side of the temple (which you can see on the top picture, under the heading ‘Temple of Mother Earth’) excavations have been done, but in principle nobody gets there because it is too steep. On this side there also seem to be holes / some kind of caves. During the war this side of the temple was often walked to go to Sarajevo. They advised here not to walk in the dark, because it was too dangerous (because of these holes).
There is a viewpoint for the summit. From the viewpoint you can see all the pyramids: the Pyramid of the Moon, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of Love:
and the Pyramid of the Dragon:
On the west top you see a circle, people often meditate here.
You can walk on from this circle. At a certain moment the path disappears in the bushes. About 100 meters before day the path disappears there is another place to meditate.
In this video you get an impression of the Temple of Mother Earth:
What did Mathijs think of it?
Mathijs found the hike very strenuous, but for most people it is not recommended because it is very steep.
Mathijs liked the viewpoint very much.
Mathijs meditated on the summit. Mathijs felt oneness. Mathijs worked here with New Earth energy and he came to the conclusion that we should live in more harmony with the earth and nature. He liked the energy of the Temple of Mother Earth.
Labyrinth Ravne Tunnels
Practical
The first time you want to visit this labyrinth of tunnels you have to do this with an existing guide and buy a donation ticket: this guided tour takes about 45 minutes. You do not need to book a guide in advance. We did the tour in a small group; there were 2 other visitors. After you have done a guided tour, you can buy a meditation ticket, so you can spend one hour in the tunnel and meditate.
It is often touristy and relatively busy here. Tip: visit the tunnels when it’s quiet (for example when there are no large buses in front of the door), sometimes this is for example 1,5 hours before closing time.
In the tunnels it is about 11-12 degrees Celsius; wear layers of clothing so you have a pleasant time.
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging)
from the parking lot: 1. Put on a helmet and make sure that when you enter/exit the Tunnels you bend. In the Tunnels there are regular signs where the exit is.
Measurements
In the tunnels a frequency of 28 kHz is measured.
Some ‘stones’ contain a specific energy, such as the Schumann resonance.
What’s there to see?
It is thought that some of the tunnels were built some 32,000 years ago and others 12,000 years ago. It is unclear how these tunnels were built (also because there were no flashlights at the time). The material removed from the tunnels was found on the Pyramid of the Sun: it is thought to have been used as building material.
The tunnels were filled with stones about 4600/5000 years ago. The filling is now called a drywall:
During the tour we saw several ‘megalithes’ called K’s. These are a kind of large ‘stones’ that consist of a mixture of calcite and quartz. Research has shown that these K’s are handmade. On megalith K-1, for example, were symbols such as arrows, pointing towards the Pyramid of the Sun.
The Pyramid of the Sun is 2.9 km. from the tunnel. The (rest of the) meaning of the symbols is not yet known. K-1 is above 2 underground watercourses.
Further we saw megalith K-2. This is artificially made of quartz, calcite and Moskovite. It is thought that this megalith helps to produce more oxygen. By megalith K-2 you are invited to keep your hands about ten centimetres above megalith K-2. It is said that K-2 resonates with electromagnetic fields and the Schumann resonance. Near the stone It felt relaxed to me, when I kept my hands above the ‘stone’ they became warm.
There are also rooms in the tunnel. Many rooms are called meditation rooms. One room is called ‘healingroom’.
In the ‘healing chamber’ a relatively high number of negative ions in the air was measured. For example, an average office in the city centre has an average of 25-100 negative ions per cubic centimetre. In the Ravne tunnels 18,000 to 40,000 negative ions per cubic centimetre were measured.
It is sometimes thought that negative ions can help to:
Increase the flow of oxygen to the brain
Get oxygen faster into cells and tissues
Increase the serotonin level
Stimulate the Reticulo endothelial system
Clean the air of fungi, dust and pollen
Some people:
Feel this makes them more alert
Feel this makes them less sleepy
Experience more mental energy
Are able to deal better with depression
Are able to deal easier with stress
Have the idea that their resistance to disease will increase
Have the idea that allergy related symptoms and respiratory disease (such as asthma and bronchitis) can improve
Negative ions are an addition to regular health care (not a replacement): always consult a medical doctor in case of complaints.
In addition, in some places in the tunnel you can see places with water.
It has been measured that the water has a Bovis value of 28,000. Dr. Emoto also researched this water and discovered harmonious water crystals. Some people claim to benefit from this water, which is sold in the souvenir shop.
In autumn I see and smell mold and mushrooms in the tunnels. I don’t know what the effect of this is on people. In general it is not healthy for people to be in a mouldy environment.
What did I think of it?
The tour:
We were kindly helped by English speaking guides with a red T-shirt. I thought it was a pity that it was so touristy, I was glad that we were given a tour with a small group of people. I liked to experience the energy in the tunnels and I want to go here more often!
I meditate in the tunnels. It’s wonderfully quiet. In the ‘healing room’ I observe the builders of the tunnels and supporting light beings. I notice that this room can help to heal energy, such as limiting emotions or thoughts.
I also notice that the meditation room where the Schumann resonance is feels quieter than the ‘healing room’. In addition, Mathijs and I are discovering more meditation rooms and an Orb room that we didn’t see during the tour. The further you go into the tunnel, the fewer people you see and hear. We meditated quietly.
I notice that each meditation room has its own unique energy that can support you in different aspects.
In summary: I can imagine that HSP can benefit from a low-stimulation (silent and dark) environment such as a cave. Furthermore I can imagine that HSP can benefit from negative ions.
After this visit I often go to the tunnel because it feels good for me, until I found the fungus and mushrooms.
Park Ravne 2
Practical
Approximately 25 metres below the entrance to the tunnels is the Park Ravne 2, a kind of large energetic garden. You can walk from the parking lot of the tunnels to this park. You can also take the car down a bit and park near this park. You have to walk down a stairway / slope to walk. The park is relatively flat, you can also choose to walk in the hills.
Lightworkers all over the world have made power places here.
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the parking lot: 1. There is no hiking route indicated: you can walk where you want to go.
What do I think about Park Ravne 2?
I love it!
My favorites are in random order;
1. Energy earth bio energetic spiral
This is a place where three energetic spirals are present:
Two spirals (marked with blue stones) help to connect to the cosmos. These spirals move to the left, counterclockwise and help to give energy to the earth.
Another spiral (marked with a red/orange stone) helps to connect with the earth. This spiral moves to the right, clockwise and helps to get energy from the earth.
2. Aura field amplifier
This is a stone circle built on the basis of the golden section and sacred geometry. There is an underground stream of water. Under each stone there is a crystal, on a plate it is indicated that there is a balance between male and female crystals. The stone with the most energetic potential lies in the middle. I think this amplifier has a nice energetic center. A sign indicates that this place has the most energy potential in the park, it has a Bovis value of 50,000. It is recommended to walk clockwise and be present in the amplifier for a maximum of 10 minutes.
3. A part of the small Lemniscate
4. Spiral Vibrational Botanical Garden/Spiral Aromatic and healing Garden
This is a kind of herb garden made in spiral form. There grows lavender, basil, lemon balm, rosemary and thyme. I find it very inspiring that a vegetable garden can look like this!
Click here for more information about the program of Park Ravne 2.
Tumulus ‘Hram Vratnica’
Tumulus in Vratnica is thought to be an artificial conical hill. Usually such a hill is found on a prehistoric grave. Sometimes it is thought that the Tumulus is a gateway to the Bosnian pyramids.
Practical
Tumulus can be reached by car. It is partly signposted. Walking from the car/along you can see it at a certain moment; it is a hill with yellow rocks.
You can park next to it and walk up the hill (34 meters up, seen from the ground). Walking to the top costs 5 KM per adult person, there might be a possibility there is guide which you can pay to join you. Next to Tumulus is a cemetery, it didn’t bother me.
Level of difficulty in hiking
(1 is simple and 5 very challenging) from the parking lot: 2 (you have to walk stairs). The walk from the parking lot to the top takes about 7,5 minutes if you walk quietly and take breaks. The walking route is not indicated, but speaks for itself (you follow the path up).
On the top of the Tumulus is an energy ray of 28 kHz measured.
On top of the Tumulus is a Bovis value of 50,000 measured.
It has been measured that there are tunnels under the Tumulus. It is thought that these tunnels are connected to the pyramids.
At 54-56 meters underground concrete was found (a possible ceiling), at 56-59 meters underground a hollow space was found (possibly a room), at 59-61 meters underground concrete was found (possibly a foundation), at 61-70 meters underground natural sandstone layers were found.
What’s there to see?
Different types of rocks can be seen: megalithes, which consist of 2 layers: concrete and clay. It is thought that the artificial geopolymer cement was used as a binding agent. You can see huge blocks and yellowish rocks that alternate. In the video below I share an impression:
When we were there it was very quiet; Mathijs and I were the only visitors.
What did I think of Tumulus and the energy?
Nice! I noticed that this place is a kind of energetic ‘bridge’ and can help to experience connection between heaven and earth. I also noticed that this place can help to experience more clarity.
Mystery of The Bosnian Pyramids (movie)
The Mystery of The Bosnian Pyramids is a serie (it contains 12 parts) that explores the mystery of the Bosnian pyramids. Update: at the moment (June 19th 2019) this serie is not visible via YouTube.
What did I think of it?
The quality of the image is low, I found it unpleasant to read large yellow letters English subtitles. I found the background music a bit distracting now and then. I also found the tempo a bit slow now and then. Still I found some interesting parts in it, especially the part about the earth grid.
Summary: do the Pyramids really exist or are they a hoax?
Some people experience everything at the Pyramids and some experience nothing. Some call it a hoax. A translation of hoax is ‘fake’. What others experience and think is not important: I advise you as a HSP to visit the above places yourself and to feel what is right for you.
The Pyramids and the related places mentioned above have brought me a lot. My favorites are:
1. Pyramid of the Moon (the center)
2. Ravne Tunnels (when there were no mold/mushrooms)
3. A shared location: Tumulus (the top) and Pyramid of the Sun (the center)
4. The power places on the cemetery
The other places (the Pyramid of the Dragon and the Pyramid of Love) have also given me a lot of insight. I am grateful and happy that I have visited the Pyramids and related places and I want to go here more often.
Bosnia pyramid journey
Sometimes trips are organized to the pyramids. Do you want to do this as a HSP? I advise you to follow your intuition and, for example, to choose a small group.
Stara pravoslavna crkva (an old orthodox church)
This is the oldest orthodox church in the Balkans. It is thought that the church was built in the 12th century. The first writings about the church date from 1539. The church is linked to Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Practical:
It is not allowed to take pictures in the church. You also need to be quiet in the church. You can visit the church for free. On the outside wall it says that you can follow a free audio tour on your Smartphone.
You can also visit the museum: this costs 3 KM per person at the time of writing this blog. There is also a souvenir shop and a small garden.
Address:
Mula Mustafe Bašeskije 59, Sarajevo 71000. It is about 200 metres from the old Baščaršija district. Parking can be a challenge here! More information about this church can be found at Tripadvisor.
What can you see here?
Outside on the church are pictures of Mother Mary and Archangel Michael.
In the church was music and incense. Furthermore, there were many icons to see. There is also a stone ‘mosaic’ circle on the ground floor: you see a stone circle with some ‘rays’ around it. Here you can find some photos of the inside of the church.
What did I think of Stara pravoslavna crkva?
The church:
The energy felt ecclesiastical. Some people observe an energy vortex in the middle of the mosaic circle. The energy in the middle of the mosaic circle felt firm and very grounding. For me, the energy in the church did not feel typically like Archangel Michael: the energy in the church felt relatively soft and somewhat feminine to me.
Tips for visiting Stara pravoslavna crkva:
Stay well with your own energy, so that you do not lose yourself in the energy of the church and the history of this church.
Is it quiet? Then stand in the middle of the ‘mosaic circle’.
Map with the Bosnian Pyramids & other power spots:
Below you will find a Dutch map where you can easily find pyramids (purple marked) and related places. You will also find 2 catering establishments (marked orange). Below the map I share more about this.
Tips
Below you will find several tips for when you go to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
General tips:
In low season (instead of high season) and on weekdays (instead of weekends) you can visit places of interest: it’s quieter then.
Bosnia and Herzegovina does not belong to the EU. For example, you can arrange a Sim-Card. On Fandom and Finder you can find information about this. I used a Tourist SIM via BH Telecom.
Do your shopping during the day, before the sun goes down.
Do strangers ask where you sleep/what your address or name is, for example in the supermarket? Do not answer this kind of questions for safety reasons.
The temperatures can be hot. For example, visit sights outside early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
It’s useful to always have some cash with you,
Not everyone speaks English. First ask if people speak English. Sometimes people say “yes”, but do they mean “a little” or “no” and do not say this. For example, some people say they want to talk to you later then (and/or: “I’m tired”).
Locals sometimes throw their waste into nature. Plastic and such things are bad for the environment. For example, it can end up in groundwater and in animals. Throw your waste away in places where you see a trash can: sometimes this is challenging to find. You can often find it in the city centre, for example at hotels.
Check the travel advice and additional tips from your Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Practical tips if you have/want a car:
When you cross the border, make sure you have a ‘green card’ for the car insurance.
Sometimes waste is burned along the road, which can stink. You can adjust the aeration system in the car to that.
It is handy to have a Jeep of something similar; some roads are (partially) unpaved.
Keep to the speed; there’s a lot of checking going on.
Specific tips for when you are a HSP:
HSP are extra open to incentives. These tips will help you further:
In Bosnia and Herzegovina some things are different than in the Netherlands. There are minarets (towers belonging to mosques which are sharing their prayer calls through loud speakers), street dogs, (sometimes lean) workhorses and shepherds with goats/sheep to be seen. Be prepared for this and stay well with yourself, so you avoid getting upset by stimuli!
Listen to your intuition!
-In the past (until 1995) there has been a war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sometimes this can still be seen in buildings. Sometimes I noticed that the war had a big impact on people. Keep in mind that there are still land mines and you can’t walk everywhere. By the way, you may hear shots: this is from hunters.
-Some people don’t have much money and see tourists as a walking wallet. Keep this in mind; maybe you feel that someone wants something from you?
Vegan and gluten-free food in Bosnia and Herzegovina
HSP often have a heart for animals. I eat almost vegan. Via happycow.net you can find vegan eateries and shops. Some also have gluten-free options, such as:
Marshall’s Gelato (has vegan and gluten free ice cream)
Marshall’s Gelato Facebook page and Marshall’s Gelato Instagram account
Address; Kulovića 9, Sarajevo
Mathijs and I ate gluten-free and vegan ice cream in different flavours. Parking by car was a challenge, the ice was fine!
Tip: check the current opening hours via the website. At the moment of writing these are: Monday – Saturday 7:30-23:30 hrs, Sunday 8:00-23:00 hrs.
Zdravo (this is a vegan bistro that also sells some vegan products)
Zdravo Website (Bosnian), Zdravo Instagram Account and YouTube video (in Bosnian). Address: Dzemala Bijedica 160 F Sarajevo (if you arrive by car you will see an apartment building on your right with the letter A. You drive in this direction. Then follow the bend to the right. Then you’ll see an apartment building with the letter E: go there (you turn right 3 times). At the right side you see a café: next to it is Zdravo. Zdravo is between the blocks of flats, opposite the kids playground).
Tip: check current opening hours, for example via the website. At the time of writing these are: Monday – Saturday 12:00-20:00 hours.
Mathijs and I ate a spinach soup and burger here.
I liked it!
Furthermore, there is water that you can get.
We took home some cakes: also very tasty!
Useful to know as a HSP: the radio/music is on and sometimes you hear the blender working hard.
I’m meditating. Suddenly I feel that I want to open my eyes. Mathijs comes in, it’s our first encounter. I see the colour blue around him. I look Mathijs in his eyes and I know within myself: “Atlantis!” (more…)
Have you worked long and hard and are you burn-out ?
Here you had Pfeiffer’s Disease, but still suffer from fatigue?
Do you suffer a lot from chronic fatigue?
Do you feel misunderstood?
Do you have mood swings, or a sensitivity to addictions or depression?
It may be that high sensitivity has something to do with this. Approximately 15-20% of the population is highly sensitive. Highly sensitive persons (HSP) have a more sensitive nervous system and a relatively open energy field compared to non- high sensitive persons. All the senses are intensified. Highly sensitive people often recognize themselves in these HSP characteristics. Highly sensitive people often feel different. This has a lot of advantages, but can also lead to disadvantages if you do not know how to benefit from your high sensitivity.
If you have not yet mastered your high-sensitivity and are over-stimulated, it can be difficult to distinguish what your own energy (like emotions) and energy from another person is. In the long run this can cause fatigue, among other things. Usually, HSP come into contact with information about high sensitivity at a time of crisis: a time when you feel that things are not going according to your wishes on a physical, emotional and/or mental level.
Is there such a thing as a free online HSP Test? There is no device (such as a device which can measure the heart rate) which can measure if/how (high) sensitive you are. Because of this reason high sensitivity is not recognized by everyone, this can lead to misunderstanding. However, you can use a self-report testing, to find out if you are a highly sensitive person.
Here you can find out if you are a HSP. You can learn to deal with your high sensitivity, feel more vital and be even more productive!
HSP test 1: Find out if you are a highly sensitive person
The most commonly used HSP test to find out whether you are highly sensitive is the Self-report questionnaire by Dr. Elaine Aron from her book: “The highly sensitive person. How do you thrive when the world overwhelms you?” This Self-reporting test is scientifically substantiated and is sometimes called a highly sensitive test/highly sensitive self test, a highly sensitive person test or a HSP test.
Aron’s test: outdated!
In practice, it appears that the test from Elaine Aron is insufficient for some people to determine whether they are highly sensitive. In my opinion, the test is outdated. The problem with Elaine Aron’s questionnaire is that high-sensitive people score high on her questionnaire, especially if they do not yet control their high-sensitivity, and are therefore more likely to be ‘labeled’ as high-sensitive compared to high-sensitive people who use their high-sensitivity as a quality and do manage it well. They score lower on the test and they seem to be less highly sensitive. In my point of view, this should not be the case.
This is why I developed my help. I my help I share the most current and practical tools and a self test, so you can find out whether you are highly sensitive and how you can take the benefits of this. This test is independent of whether or not you manage high sensitivity. Would you like to get an impression of whether you are highly sensitive? I developed 2 Mini-Tests, which I share below! These tests give you an indication if you are a highly sensitive person.
Instructions
Step 1: Answer each question according to the way you personally feel. Mark ‘Yes’ if the sentence is at least somewhat true for you; mark ‘No’ if it is not very true or not at all true for you.
Step 2: Press the button ‘See result’. You will see the results in the test box.
Step 3: After you have finished this HSP test, please scroll and start the second ‘Do you struggle with high sensitivity problems test’.
HSP Test 2: Do you struggle with high sensitivity problems?
High sensitivity is a wonderful quality, but highly sensitive people can struggle with problems if they do not know how to benefit from their sensitivity. It is very important to discover if you struggle with these problems: then you can solve them. This test helps you to discover if you struggle with highly sensitive problems. Instructions
Step 1: Answer each question according to the way you personally feel. Check the box if the sentence is at least somewhat true for you; leave unchecked if it is not very true or not at all true for you.
Step 2: Press the button ‘Finish quiz’. The page will be refreshed and you will see the results at the top of the page.
Tips
Consult a medical doctor if you have any of the symptoms which I mentioned above. For example, if a physical problem is also found, you may be able to solve it. Find a medical doctor who feels comfortable for you. An anthroposophical medical doctor may be useful, as he or she recognizes a spiritual core in the human being, which can generally give a feeling of ‘coming home’ with HSP.
If you know whether your symptoms are (partly) caused by high sensitivity, you can work on this. Discover whether you are highly sensitive and learn how to use this as a strength!

We are Femke and Mathijs: a Dutch couple and we are both highly sensitive and highly intuitive/paranormal. We feel a non-physical presence beyond the visible site and we are very interested in spirituality and sacred places.
We love to travel the world with our dog Juultje (born in 2022).
We like helping highly sensitive and paranormal persons to discover their divine calling and soul purpose and live it, so they can feel alive too.
Much scientific research has been done on meditation, including
