A difficulty arises from the constant practice of meditation in that sensitivity is much increased: sensitivity to the feelings and thoughts of others. And when this sensitivity seems to submerge him in their influences and auras, he is in danger of losing his own individuality or of getting confused and muddled by this mental absorption. Action must be taken to keep the sensitivity without letting it make him the victim of other peoples' emotional emanation and mental projection.
