The loss or reduction of sensitivity to touch or physical sensation in part of the body.
From Greek 'apo' (away, without) + 'aesthesis' (sensation), literally meaning 'without sensation.'
Apaesthesia can happen with nerve damage, but interestingly, some meditation practitioners report intentionally inducing a form of it through intense focus—the brain's remarkable ability to gate sensation.
