Sensitivity
If I say "I am sensitive" what would you understand?
You might think I can be easily hurt or affected; I am emotionally fragile; I pay extra attention to the attitudes and feelings of others; I can be quickly stimulated or excited by the environmental conditions; my five senses are overly strong; I am excessively or abnormally susceptible to certain foods; I am very delicate and capable of indicating minute differences; or, that I am excitedly concerned about a certain subject. You can also understand it as my way of saying: "I am weak"; "I am stressed"; "I am vulnerable"; or even "I am in pain." Yes, there are many ways that we can be sensitive; but why is there only one word for so many different conditions?
I am often asked if sensitivity is an asset or a liability? Is it a virtue or a curse? The truth is that it is one of the most complicated words in the dictionary. It can be very abstract since it not only covers the physical aspects of sensation but also expresses different degrees of sensing perceptions, feelings and emotions. Sensitivity or insensitivity is usually the effect of a particular kind of stimulus and its subjective resulting experience on a person. Since every person is different and the degrees of strength or severity of every stimulus can be measured differently, then it becomes apparent why discussing sensitivity becomes such a convoluted matter. The mind-body-spirit presentation of self allows others to learn what is going on with that person at the present moment; so, understanding sensitivity as a RESPONSE to ALL SENSES OF BEING can be a proper approach.
Sensitivity applies to physical responses based on our five senses; mental responses based on our previous experiences and anticipations of the future; and, spiritual responses based on our core beliefs and the universal aspirations for feeling united while exercising freedom. As the stimuli can consist of environmental, nutritional, political, social, personal, religious, physical, mental, emotional, or any other element on earth and beyond; then sensitivity becomes a "whole body" responsive mechanism that can affect us simultaneously at the three levels of our being:
1. Physical Sensitivity is how our body reacts to the external forces. Anything that we feel through our five senses of hearing, touching, seeing, smelling, or tasting affects our sensory neurons. The experiences of sound, contact, vision, smell, or flavor create favorable or unfavorable responses by our nervous system and activate our psychological defense mechanism. The genetic or environmental conditions may also intensify or dilute the experience as the bio-chemo-mechanical stability of the person and his or her potential for properly functioning can be jeopardized.
2. Mental Sensitivity is how our mind responds to any perceived threat according to our acquired sense of self. Our sensitivity beyond physical protection deals with a person's self-esteem, ego state, and self-worth. Distrust, fear, doubt, confusion, shyness, and withdrawal on one side and, narcissism, OCD, mania, dissociation, over-exhilaration and other psychologically labeled symptoms are often the products of such over or under sensitivities.
3. Spiritual Sensitivity is how our awareness or the lack thereof can be a response to our existence in this universe. This is the most unknown and less scientifically proven sense that is often called intuition. As researchers and thought leaders have delved more deeply in to the metaphysical and vibrational sensitivities of our being, the importance of our belief system and how the physical and emotional sensitivities are affected by or are affecting what we believe in become more apparent. As a unit of nature we are bound by its rules, so our spiritual sensitivity can be seen as a natural response to our collective being. Religion and obeying the boundaries set by a higher power can be considered as the reactions to such sensitivities.
In order to deal with sensitivity, a person may become limited and rigid but sometimes such sensitivity can be useful. To a sensitive person a sound is a noise, but if it is utilized in a creative or innovative way, like composing music, it will be considered as talent. In balance, sensitivity is not negative or positive. Pearl S. Buck captures this by saying:
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him... a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."
A sensitive person often remains in his or her comfort zone. He or she isuneasy with change andunable to tolerate the emotional challenges of reaching a goal. This person can also avoid physical activities or confrontations. A critical comment can feel threatening, decrease self-confidence, or generate high reactivity. By learning about our sensitivities and accepting them as strengths we will be able to set appropriate boundaries, feel safe, and benefit from our talent.
Awareness of our physical sensitivities allows us to set boundaries on food consumption, exercise habits, sleep patterns, and environmental conditions. Awareness of our emotional sensitivities will limit exposure to damaging relationships, ineffective work patterns, and disturbing thought processes. Awareness of our spiritual sensitivities prevents irrational expectations, self-destructive choices, belittling sense of self, and fears of insecurity. Balancing all aspects of life, to avoid over or under sensitivity, is a protective act that generates inner peace.
Not paying attention to our senses, feelings, emotions, and the core beliefs behind them we will get stuck with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and disappointments. If you want to find freedom and enjoy life allow your sensations to communicate the physical, emotional, or spiritual blockages in you. Your chest, stomach, head, hands, shoulders, and throat are continuously signaling your sensitivities and require your attention. Listen to what they are telling you and use your creativity to address them. The harmony of body-mind-spirit is flawless and resolves any obstacle on the path of security. Sensitivity can be an asset if utilized and a curse if ignored.
