Learning: The Dimension of Body Sensations

The first way the portal of our body enriches and informs our experience through our five senses. Seeing, touching, hearing, tasting, and smelling transmit vital information about our surroundings and allow us to react intelligently to it. To treasure sensations as they occur enables us to meaningfully use them in our lives. Poets like John Keats transformed his sensations into images to create brilliant poetry; novelists and playwrights do the same.

Conscious, rhythmic breathing centers us in the moment so that we may become fully grounded, fully aware of our relationship to mother earth and our immediate environment.

Exercise and physical movement are necessary to maintain wellness in body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Dance and expressive movement reveal a dancer’s mental, emotional or spiritual interpretations of the patterns and the beauty of life.

Life and the experience of life, achievement, beauty, and athletic prowess --- all are dependent on body.
