How to attain balance in meditation when sensitivity increases?

Embrace the heightened sensitivity of meditation, for true balance arises not from numbing, but from witnessing your emotions with clarity and awareness, transforming turbulence into equanimity.

— Osho
According to Osho, meditation inevitably heightens sensitivity, so balance isn’t achieved by numbing yourself but by allowing full intensity to be felt while remaining alert and non-suppressive. As childlike sensitivity returns, simply witness anger, hurt, and pleasure without control or preoccupation. This clarity first reveals wounds and turbulence, but sustained awareness digests them, transforming reactivity into equanimityliving fully sensitive yet centered.

Feel everything fully, but just watch it quietly instead of pushing it down—the watching creates balance.
