would you like to have more or fewer senses? i’m talking about extra-sensory perception, embracing embodiment and knowing things before they hit your bodily receptors.

you begin by using the senses you have. and not everyone has the same number. but if you can hear sounds using your ears, open them and learn to listen. if you can use your eyes to perceive the world around, then learn how to see and not be distracted by how things look.

does your nose register smells? learn to separate the scents and to smell what’s different, what has changed. can your mouth distinguish between delicious and disgusting? refine your palate and begin to take in food slow enough for the energy and your appreciation to sink in.

your skin is your largest organ. is it able to bring in data from the world? does the hair on your arm stand up for you? experience the difference between silk and burlap, cotton linen and cashmere. get in touch with what’s around you so that you can learn the difference between “full-body yes” and “absolutely not.” use what you have and you will begin to receive more.
