What happens when sensitivity increases through meditation?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"As your sensitivity deepens through meditation, allow the overflow of emotions to rise; in embracing this turbulence, you will transform chaos into clarity and witness the true beauty of existence."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, as meditation deepens, sensitivity heightens, so every event is felt with full intensity—old, suppressed hurts and emotions overflow, making anger, pain, restlessness (and also small joys) seem stronger. This turbulent phase breaks inner dams; do not repress it. By allowing total, conscious experiencing, sensitivity matures into clarity and eventually calm witnessing—the ultimate flowering of meditation.
Meditation first makes you feel everything more strongly so the old stuff can clear, and then you become quietly steady.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you expect and accept early turbulence instead of thinking meditation is failing.
- Teaches you to feel fully without suppression, allowing old pain to clear.
- Cultivates lasting clarity and equanimity as sensitivity ripens.
