Hey Guys, Hope you're all well. I had a question, since the beginning of my awakening I have developed a series of extreme sensitivities. For example my primary challenge has been (visual Sensitivity) visual vertigo, which rendered it almost impossible for me to watch TV, use computers or get public transport and am ultra sensitive to light and digital movement. Then I have also developed an extreme (Smell Sensitivity - Olfactory) I am ultra sensitive to the smell of weed, it's really horrible and unpleasant for me, even getting a whiff through the park can have a nasty effect on me that takes a while to recover from. The next sensitivity is diet. I'm ultra sensitive to a lot of food but over the last few years even certain supplements and herbs cause a strong reaction (various extreme itching in different body areas). I also have (auditory vertigo) and have had to avoid all sorts of auditory situations especially areas with considerable reverb, like music halls, church halls. I also can't listen to sound healing, vibrations, or bowls, all of which create extremely unpleasant experiences in my self. Overall all my senses have been pushed to extreme sensitivity. I had hoped that my condition would become more manageable over the years, but my extreme allergies remain. I am aware that the awakening journey increases our sensory experience, but my challenges seem like some weird kind of extreme health condition. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Blessings to all of you, Tom

hi everyone, I just joined this group. I'm also experiencing a lot of sensitivities. Not able to be around others without feeling overwhelmed or taking on their emotions/energies. For those who've been experiencing this for a while, has anyone felt their sensitivities become more manageable over time or become less sensitive?
Hi Tom, I see you posted this a while ago so maybe things are different now, but I just joined the forum and felt drawn to respond. First of all, this does sound very challenging. I hope you're doing ok. What you describe isn't exactly the same as my experience, but it does feel similar to my own challenges with extreme sensitivities through this process (still in that challenge btw, but it's evolving). I'll share the way I'm seeing it right now in case that helps you too. Essentially, as consciousness expands into different areas of our being, it not only releases unconscious material, but it also makes those areas conscious. That maybe sounds obvious but I think it can be easy to focus on the purifying aspect and not really understand the second part (speaking for myself as well). For the second part, which is essentially integration, we also have to go through changes in how we see and relate to reality (relative reality), as well as understand how we can apply that new capacity. From my experience, this can require a lot of learning and many smaller realisations that build up a bigger picture understanding. In other words, mind, body + spirit need to come into alignment in whatever area spirit is expanding into. So yes, I agree with Jo A that whatever shift you're going through here sounds like it could be connected to your gifts, especially since you've been going through this challenge a while and seem to be getting a lot of information (part of the understanding, perhaps?). Another thought: could some part of you be resisting or denying your gifts? This has stopped the kundalini integrating for me after certain shifts/expansions. I'd be interested to hear how you're doing now?
Hi Tom, this all sounds very challenging.
I wonder how open you are to the idea that some of these sensitivities are psychic gifts?
After an OBE, I became very sensitive to other people, getting 'buzzing' in my skin and extreme anxiety. I have come to understand that I am clairsentient (ability to feel the emotional states of other people) and have been doing energy work to learn to manage my own reactions and work through my trauma which creates blocks in the energy system. I just started some training with the College of Psychic studies as I want to learn to work with the clairs.
I was very resistant to anything to do with psychics or mediums but now having to go with flow!
