What do you Sense?

How do you feel when you hold a crystal or receive a massage?  Touch brings us inward, into our breath and into our body.  How do we really feel when we close our eyes and exit the mind into the body, again? Do you feel warm, cool, tingly? Do these trigger emotions or memory? 

Vibrations, chanting, singing!  Music & vibration moves us and touches the soul!  Chanting, storytelling and singing physically vibrate the vagus nerve and calms the CNS, and has been used for centuries to alter consciousness, and shift out of fight or flight.

Smell is the only sense that has an unfiltered pathway directly to the brains limbic system, which governs memory and regulating emotion.  We can access fear, survival instinct, pleasure and reward by working with this sense of smell purposefuly.

Movement of the body is an intelligent interplay between the nervous system, organs, brain, fluids and proprioceptors which sense space and time.  Movement is motion, force and balance, but at a higher state of awareness, all information through movement received informs us of the reality we are surrounded by.  

Visual perception of colors evokes emotional sensations, light plays off objects creating illusions and optical fantasy. Everything is truly only seen "once" never to be "seen" again with the same conditions. Inner sight can take us into realities not seen externally, yet we know exist because we sense it.

Taste as a way to interact, injest by consumption and play with how we interact with our environment.  We have roughly 4,000 taste bud recepters that renew themselves every few days, giving us so many opportunities to refine and update our taste in food, life and our enviornment! 

You sensed someone would call, then they did.  You knew, sensed and felt an detail happen before you had external validation of it.  When we start to trust all of our senses by exploring them in our body, we start to move into the realm of subtle energy, or intuition.  Psychic senses become noticeable.  Reality shifts.

Claircognizant is the sense that comes to you when you allow absolute trust in your senses to be unfiltered by any mental thought that seeks validation.  It is a state where you know that what you sense as subtle energy informs you with information, understanding and clarity that does not come through the idea of mind. 

Empathy is the ability to listen to all subtle energy without judgment, merge with it, and to see beyond any distortion of separation with compassion.  This is where true healing happens for ourselves and for others, when we allow every feeling without judgment in order to feel truth.  Unconditional love.

After engaging the senses until we reach paradox, we move naturally into a deep inner realm of knowing.  A place of slience and peace, where there is no more confusion.  It is what we know when we realize our soul.  hOMe in our physical body, planet, universe and beyond...
