  • Sensory Perception is something all life-forms have. As humans, we sense the external and internal world in order to navigate and communicate. With the right help, we can train our ears to hear exact frequencies, such as an audio acoustician, our smell to identify “notes” in coffee, wine and scotch. We can notice the difference between natural and unnatural light (LEDs don't have infrared which the human eye uses for contrast - things go blurry without it). We can 'listen' to our muscles when we need to stretch or pay attention when we need more salt, feel dehydrated, need a bit of citrus for vit C and so on. Humans used to be able to know what was happening with the weather without external instruments to read it. Some of us get nose bleeds when the air pressure falls too quickly or have trouble breathing when it rises too quickly.

    Over the years, I started studying philosophical aesthetics. I also found that spending time just exploring, pausing, listening and engaging with nuances of differences help sharpen my own ability to be in-tune with and identify when there is a sensory problem so I can respond appropriately or in advance. 

    But you can always start with sound or touch. Go to the park sit in the grass, close your eyes and just engage. 

    I'm quite tired and it's late, but will follow up more later if this sounds interesting.
