Are you highly sensitive? Empathetic? Empathic? An empath? The Space in Between captures the essence of what it means to live as an empath—and demonstrates how an ordinary person can open up to living an extraordinary life. Longtime spiritual counselor and seasoned guide Signe Myers Hovem takes readers on a journey through her life, demystifying empathic receptivity and revealing that it is not a “gift” or “power” but a feature of one’s sensory perception and intuition, an ability that allows us to live in extended communication with nature and humanity. She elucidates the difference between having empathic traits and sensitivities and actually having the skills and abilities of an empath. And she explores the five different landscapes and fields of consciousness that provided her with insight and movement as she traveled her own path of discovery—Field of Reflection, Field of Definition, Field of Sensing, Field of Awareness and Experience, and Field of Mystery—helping readers to dismantle long-held beliefs, illuminating the intentional path towards balance and belonging, and encouraging us all to rediscover what it means to live a truly authentic life.
Review: The Space in Between Signe Myers Hovem
Those of us who are sensitive and feel empathy know individual awareness of our own internal thoughts, feelings, memories, and sensations assists us in exploring how we are connected to one another.
In Hovem's book, The Space Between, she writes from personal experience and in fields; of reflection, definition, sensing, experience, awareness, and mystery with each one ending with 'questions for reflection'.
Hovem uses stories to enhance understanding and help us identify with one another. I appreciate that she speaks of the value of setting boundaries and using coping skills such as journaling.
