Practices.
Short text and audio practices for attention, sensation, and emotional state. No sequence. Begin anywhere.
Our sense of sound is one of the most dynamic and emotionally evocative senses we possess. Sound can transport us instantly to a memory, move us to tears of emotion. or alert us to danger.
Our sense of sight is one of the most dominant and complex senses in human experience. From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep, vision shapes how we interact with the world.
Our sense of taste at first glance might not be seen as particularly important in the study of consciousness and meditation.
Touch is one of the most fundamental and primal ways we interact with the world. It is the external consciousness sense that provides us with constant awareness of our environment and our own body.
The sense of smell, or more precisely, olfaction, is one of the most primal and evocative of our external consciousness senses.
Thinking is the structured use of mental reasoning, where we verbalize or talk to ourselves inside our head.
Memory is the stored version of the information that our external and internal consciousness senses have experienced as we go through life, or of things we learned or experienced from others or from books and online sources.
An emotion is a physiological and neurological experience that occurs that provides us internal sensory information.
Imagination is the conscious ability to create mental images, scenarios, or ideas that are not directly available through our external senses.
While our sense of touch provides information from nerve endings on the exterior surface of our body, the interior of our body is also full of nerve endings. These internal nerves provide interoception or the sensing of internal stimuli within the body.
Intuition is a quiet, deep, and subtle sense that provides distinct and sometimes unmistakable information or understanding.
Where intuition is about careful listening and deep knowing about future possibilities, hidden patterns, or subtle signals across time, instinct is about responding in real time to the immediate environment.
The remote sensing consciousness sense is perhaps the most ‘mystical’ abstract consciousness sense.
Abstraction is the deliberate mental ability to represent things another way. It can involve sensing that thing from the viewpoint of another person, spatial perspective, system, belief, identity, emotion or thought process.
Creation is the consciousness sense where you experience something completely new being formed in consciousness.
