Sir Lee complete guide on Dahn H

Your brain is designed to accommodate at least five senses—sight, touch, sound, smell, and taste. But how much do you really engage all five? Take, for example, the simple act of eating. When you eat, of course you notice the taste of the food, but do you fully utilize the rest of the senses? Do you take time to feel and appreciate a full range of tastes, textures, and smells in your food?

Ilchi Lee says through his new book

The way most of us take in sensory input is a little like eating a steady diet of fast food. Typical fast-food fare, consisting of ground meat, refined wheat flour, processed cheese, and frozen and refried potatoes, deprives you of sensory range. The natural texture of this meal has been removed to produce an even, comfortable mouth feel that requires as little chewing as it does mental adjustment.

Maybe you are already wise enough to avoid the fast-food trap, but could you be living a fast-food existence through your brain? just as some people turn repeatedly to a favorite fast-food comfort mea , your brain may have developed a fast-food sensory habit.

In the case of a fast-food mea!, one has sacrificed other sensual elements in favor of one—flavor. Consider how you may be doing the same with your other senses. People today are prone to rely on one sense, especially visual stimuli, at the expense of the others. When asked to describe some object, what do you focus on? Chances are that you describe how it looks, but usually not how it feels or sounds or tastes. In most experiences, one sense comes to the forefront while the others blur into the background.

Through this habit, you deny the many parts of the brain involved with sensory processing the chance to work in tandem and to open up new modes of experience for you. One very quick way to build additional connections in the brain is to simply open up your senses fully to the world around you.

Life is like a beautiful feast. Take the time to open yourself to the full range of experiences it offers.
