Resensitisation comes from this idea that we desensitise ourselves in the way we live every day. It is not just sexual desensitisation, it is sensorial desensitisation.
We are covered in clothes, we live in cities, we eat fast and have guilt around that, we replace touching with tools. Before we know it, we are no longer sensorial beings, we are completely intellectual beings, conditioned by the only sense that does not have a sensation, which is eyesight. Eyesight is still a thought. It is still an image.
From cerebral to sensorial
The shift for me truly happened when I realised that being a sensorial being is something that I had never consciously focused on. I was very cerebral. I did a lot with my head. I thought that is how I actualise in this life, through my intellect.
Everything that we are trying to achieve in the way of presence and happiness depends upon the capacity to be present.
"Present with the senses is the first access point."
Interoceptive awareness
We are so conditioned by visual stimulation. The idea of you touching me is what turns me on. We do not have enough interoceptive awareness to actually focus on receptiveness.
Expand pleasure
Resensitisation allows you to expand pleasure so that you feel so much pleasure that you are not getting distracted by a thought, because it feels so good. Some areas will always hold more sensation, others less. The inventory changes over time with practice.
Try this
Connect to your senses through the day
Outside of your self-pleasure practice, connect to your senses as often as you can during the day.
If you are drinking, you are drinking. You are connecting with whatever is in that drink. Build stories. If you drink a fresh glass of water, imagine you are drinking fresh water from the mountains, coming in.
Use textures on yourself. Touch with your fingers throughout the day. Build a more mindful approach to tasting, feeling, touching.
