we have very fixed ideas about what our body is and can do/expereince, and as insight develops, as we become more open to experience, open out more fully, things can seem overwhelmingly poignant, and we cannot handle that intensity of richness when inhabiting our idea of the body
Even something as simple as colours. The blueness of the sky might become much more dynamic. You aren't just seeing the idea of blue, you are open to subtleties of perception, and all of that can take a while to get used to, to let go of our previous concepts of what was true.

This isn't even necessarily *how things are*, which is where things get funky because the way you practice has constructive effects, or can change what is/isn't salient...something like that.
