“Spiritually sensitive children can also suppress their experience or their self-expression with particular depth and force of will. In order to defend themselves against emotional pain, or to mold themselves to fit in with their family and peers, they may create deep fragmentations and constrictions in their bodies. As a result, there is often a striking degree of imbalance in their personal development: as adults, they present an unusual mixture of maturity and immaturity, openness and rigidity.”
