How can one remove insensitivities?

Synthesized from Source practice

"To remove insensitivity, you must recognize the conditioning that taught you to suppress your feelings; drop the bargain, reclaim your joy, and embrace vulnerability, for awareness is the key that dissolves the walls around your heart."

According to Osho, insensitivity is a learned survival bargain: in childhood we suppress bodily and erotic sensitivity to please authority, and later we build security walls to avoid vulnerability. To remove it, see this conditioning, drop the bargain, and gently reclaim feeling—especially innocent bodily joy—without guilt. Look, feel, relate, and risk vulnerability; awareness dissolves the protective facade and restores natural aliveness.
Notice how you numbed yourself to stay safe, then stop fighting your feelings—especially body joy—and gently allow yourself to feel and connect again.
Why this matters practically
- Reopens empathy and deepens relationships.
- Restores joy, creativity, and bodily vitality.
- Reduces tension from constant self-control and defense.
