Why Women Often Seem More Spiritually Sensitive: A Spiritual Perspective

In exploring spiritual sensitivity, one may notice a tendency for women to display stronger intuitive abilities. Many professional psychics, for instance, are women, which reinforces this perception. However, spiritual sensitivity is not an extraordinary power—it is a natural capacity present in everyone. It is the ability to sense the essence or energy of other people, spirits, and higher-dimensional beings. In essence, it is the ability to "feel the heart" of others.

When you shake hands with someone and perceive a unique energy or aura, that is a subtle example of spiritual sensitivity at work.

Psychological Differences Between Men and Women

One key reason women often show stronger spiritual sensitivity lies in the differences between male and female psychology. Men tend to want to observe and understand; women, by contrast, tend to desire to be observed and valued. This dynamic creates a natural attraction between the sexes, as complementary energies draw them together.

Men often focus their attention on work, hobbies, and tangible aspects of the external world. Women, on the other hand, naturally cultivate an awareness of their own inner value and emotions, making them more attuned to subtle energies—both within themselves and others. This heightened awareness contributes to what we call spiritual sensitivity.

The Role of the Brain

From a neurological perspective, differences in brain function also play a part. The left hemisphere is associated with logic, language, calculation, and the tangible aspects of reality—tending toward more “male-oriented” analytical thinking. The right hemisphere processes rhythm, imagery, intuition, and the intangible, emotional aspects of experience—tending toward more “female-oriented” intuitive thinking.

While balance between these hemispheres is ideal, people often have a natural bias. Many women lean toward right-brain processing, which enhances their ability to sense subtle emotional and spiritual energies. Studies have even shown increased right-brain activity in psychics during intuitive states.

However, this does not mean all women are more spiritually sensitive than men. Modern social shifts, gender equality, and individual differences mean some men may develop strong intuitive awareness, while some women may prioritize analytical thinking over intuitive feeling. Historically, many spiritual leaders were men with high spiritual awareness, and it is often women who are drawn to such leaders, further shaping spiritual communities.

Spiritual Sensitivity and the Growth of the Soul: What Makes a Psychic Truly Effective

From a spiritual perspective, the deepest parts of our hearts are all connected. Beyond that lies the spiritual world, a realm connected to the hearts of all beings.

Spiritual sensitivity—what is often called reikan in Japanese—is essentially the ability to feel the heart or energy of others. For example, when you shake hands with someone, you might sense a unique personal energy or aura. That subtle perception is a small example of spiritual sensitivity at work.

In short, spiritual sensitivity is the power to feel the hearts of others. Everyone possesses this ability to some degree; it is as natural as having muscles in the body. Some people have more developed spiritual sensitivity than they realize.

It is important to note, however, that spiritual sensitivity is not the same as psychic ability. A person may be highly sensitive but not necessarily possess the skill set to perform psychic readings. Similarly, artists and creative individuals often display strong sensitivity, but that does not automatically make them capable psychics.

The growth of the soul, often discussed on this blog, parallels the growth of knowledge: each insight is a step forward. Likewise, spiritual growth—or the cultivation of reikaku (spiritual character)—is built one insight at a time, developing the heart and awareness.

A high level of reikaku brings greater spiritual presence, stronger creative energy to nurture others’ hearts, and a wider perspective on life. In simpler terms, it represents spiritual maturity. Conversely, low reikaku reflects a weaker spiritual presence, a focus on self-satisfaction over the well-being of others, and a narrower perspective—a spiritual immaturity.

Those who cultivate each insight naturally enhance their ability to feel others’ hearts, strengthening their spiritual sensitivity.

For psychics, this is crucial: a psychic must have higher spiritual presence than their clients to guide and provide insights that the client has not yet recognized. As reikaku rises, one can more easily resonate with higher-dimensional beings, which often manifests as accurate and surprising readings that clients find meaningful.

Yet, as the saying goes, “like attracts like.” Clients with lower spiritual presence may be drawn to psychics with similar levels, and in such cases, extreme sensitivity may not be necessary—especially if the reading is sought more for entertainment than deep guidance.

Just as a university education requires extensive knowledge, cultivating spiritual sensitivity requires awareness and insight from the heart. A psychic who develops reikaku through heartfelt understanding will naturally gain the sensitivity needed to truly connect with their clients.
