Sun Sensitivity

The sun is shining — and your body resists. What for other people means warmth, energy, and lightness becomes a threat for you. Your skin reddens, burns, reacts with a rash or swelling, sometimes within minutes. You avoid summer, wear long sleeves in July, seek the shade while everyone else moves toward the light.

Medically there are explanations: overreactive skin, genetic predisposition, pigmentation disorders, medication interactions. All of this may apply. But there is a question that is rarely asked: What does it mean when a person cannot tolerate the light? When the very force that nourishes all life on this earth becomes their enemy?

Sun sensitivity is more than a skin problem. It is a mirror — for the way you expose yourself to life itself.
