THE BODY MIND (Five Senses)

This is where we begin. One of the first principles of the work is: "Always begin exactly where you are." Where is that? In the present moment, with your Authentic Self. How do you access that? Through your senses: 

Sight  seventy percent of the body's sense receptors are focused through the eyes

Smell affects our hormones

Touch is a biological necessity

Sound is energy that can lift objects ("acoustical levitation")

Taste is the final arbiter.  

Did you know there are only 4 Tastes?  Salty, Sweet, Sour, Bitter. 

 

EXAMPLE:  SENSORY WALK

Go outside. Take a walk on the wild side. Just pick one thing to focus on - smell, sight, sound, taste, or jump right in with all of them!  You could find a blade of grass, not just how it looks, but you could take a bite out of it, or how does it smell, how does it feel? Or even sound, and you'll decide what that is! You might rub it with your fingers, or feel the wind on it. You're open to letting it express itself the way you find it. And the next time you might find it differently, because it's a different blade grass. A different thing or a different shade of green. What is the season? There's an infinite variety in all the senses that can be experienced on a sensory walk.  So you just don't walk down the street not present.  Because when you're authentically present, you are saying how does this sound to me? How does this smell to me? It's whatever you discover.  MORE

 

 This is how the body "thinks". The body is thinking sensorily, and therefore is the basis of existence.
