Sensate – “perceiving or perceived by the senses”
For a more detailed description please see the Sense & Sensuality Explained post.
The Nine Senses and Letting Go
We treat emotion, thought, the subconscious, and super-conscious exactly the same as sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. When we do this, it allows us to take a step back from our negative thoughts, feelings, programs, and external influences. This in turn enables us to let them go, engage with them, or just let them be.
Awareness vs Focus:
“Where attention goes energy flows.”
Our energy flow can be outwards (focus), inwards (awareness), or neutral (Pure Awareness), and it is up to us to consciously direct our attention to where we want our energy to flow.
Sensuality vs Sexuality
The vital force that flows through us, sustains us, and drives us, consists in part of creative energy. We can focus this creative energy outwards in the form of sexuality, or turn it inwards in the form of sensuality. Sensual awareness is the opening up of all nine senses to let this energy flow into us freely.
Light touch and gentle massage
Light touch and gentle massage stimulate the nerve endings, which in turn relaxes the muscles, which allows energy to flow more easily. And when we combine this with the conscious directing of the creative energy up the spine and then through the whole body it can be quite an experience.
