During the intro lectures TM teacher said something like (paraphrasing) "TM won't make you cool as cucumber. In fact, you might become more sensitive, but it won't affect your "self" anymore." As I've told before, I almost gave up learning TM when I heard that.
(Or, that might have been during the group checking after initiation in which case the previous sentence should be modified accordingly, ;) During the past few years I've noticed an "interesting" increase in sensitivity. Namely, been occasionally using XZ hair oil (by Berner, F-land) since the end of 60's. Only a few years back noticed that applying that oil has a fairly strong soothing and relaxing effect, I guess a bit like shirodhara(sp?) in AV. Furthermore, I've always been emotionally more sensitive than most people I know, but lately have become almost painfully that. And several more sensitivities of body and mind... http://www.xz.fi/user_data/pix/uudet_tuotekuvat3/aito_oljyhoito.jpg
