Feeling any Impressions?
To live without this kind of sense, violates the most basic experience of being alive. This felt sense is sometimes vague, always complex and ever changing. It moves, shifts, and transforms constantly. It can vary in intensity and clarity, enabling us to shift our perceptions.
It does this by giving us the process as well as the needs for change. By feeling this impression we are able to move, to acquire new information, to interrelate with one another, and to better understand how we function as a human Being.
It is so integral to our experience of being human that we take it for granted, sometimes to the point of not even realizing that it exists until we deliberately immerse our attention into it. There are many reasons why we might choose to develop a greater facility with this sensory faculty. It heightens our enjoyment of sensual experiences.
This faculty helps us feel more natural, more grounded, and more at home in our bodies. It can enhance our sense of balance and coordination. It improves memory and provides us better access to the subtle, instinctual impulses that guide the healing of trauma. It is from the sense impressions that we experience well being, peace, and connectedness. It is how we experience the “physical self”.
