Welcome to day four of our 28 days of Mindfulness.
Our senses are how we process what is occurring in our environment. Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch are the channels for receiving information and making sense of the world around us. Our intuition is another sense that we often overlook. In today’s practice, sit with each sense for a minute or so each. Listening to the sounds around you.
There is no need to judge or resent anything you hear, simply notice it and let it go. The same with what you can see. You can do this with your eyes open or closed or try both! Look at objects in your field of vision and notice their shape, colour, proximity etc. Then close your eyes and notice the images that form in your mind’s eye.
Notice what you can smell, just bringing your awareness to this sense even if there isn’t much on the air. And the same with your sense of taste, notice your mouth and sense of taste. You can being more present to the food you eat. Now bring your awareness to your sense of touch. Noticing the sensations in your skin, the contact your body is making with the seat and the floor, the feeling of your clothing against your skin, or a breeze, whatever you notice through your sense of touch. Take a moment to notice your intuition now, by allowing your sense of the moment to rise into your awareness, without judgement or agenda. Simply noticing and allowing it to be.
You can listen to here including ‘Engaging the Senses’.
