How do your senses help you foster growth in wisdom? What helps you feel most fully alive?
Sensuality – life experience through the senses. Some may think that sensuality means solely about being sexual. It could be. Being sensual is also about engaging our senses to live life in ordinary ways. Sensuality implies a connection with the body through our senses.
Possibilities Through Our Senses
Our human experience is first and foremost sensual. We have to touch, taste, smell, see, and hear with our being. No matter how many digital touchpoints we encounter, no matter how much artificial intelligence we experience, no matter the volume of blue screens we observe, we are still physical beings. Even amid a computer age, a digital world, and a touch screen universe, we consistently rely on our senses. That is what makes us human. That is what helps us grow in wisdom and understanding.
Creativity comes to life through our senses. Artistically expressing beauty takes on many forms:
- the smell of a homemade pie
- the sight of a beautiful work of art
- the touch of clay that molds into pottery
- the sound of an original composition of music
- the taste of a family recipe.
Beauty is brought forth through our senses. Life emerges in material form. Experiencing reality through our senses makes living more genuine, authentic, possible.
Growth in Wisdom
Humanity continues to transform through the digital, artificial intelligent way of living, and that is a good thing. This digital age is a positive change toward becoming better. Our intelligence is not the whole of who we are. We need to bring along our sensual self to grow in wisdom. Sensuality is what makes us fully alive. Sensuality is like living life in full 3D animation.
We are sensual beings. This is how we roll in life. Our senses engage us in wonder, curiosity, creative innovations, and depth in understanding. Utilizing our mind, body, and spirit expands our capacity for compassion.
