Action is an interesting part of the Sensitivity Cycle because we as human beings are constantly acting. Whether or not we have growth edges around Action, at the end of the day, we have to take action in our lives (even choosing not to act is a form of action). Understanding how we engage in Action is a gateway to greater awareness, effectiveness, and impact in our world.

While the Sensitivity Cycle equally acknowledges four areas, Insight is one where I find myself often starting with clients. Insight is about making space for clarity, and serves as the necessary information-gathering phase in the cycle.

The Sensitivity Cycle should be required learning for any human trying to understand themselves, and the world around them, more fully. Developed by Ron Kurtz, the Sensitivity Cycle is an aspect of the Hakomi Method that explores how a person’s experiences are perceived, processed and carried out.
