Here is the introduction to the Twelve Senses.  Yes, not five, but twelve. The twelve extraordinary senses that shape your spiritual and earthly humanity - your sense of self, the world and other human beings.

In the Introduction, I name the twelve senses and briefly describe them. Most importantly, I challenge you to pay attention to your senses, understand your unique "senseprint", work toward enriching your senses, healing your senses and awakening your soul.  Keep a journal that makes notes on the following observations:

1. Your perceptions through each sense - this is a simple listing of all perceptions you are experiencing through a particular sense in a given moment.  For instance, I am touching the rug, the chair, the keyboard, my glasses, my shirt, etc.
2. Your sensitivity to your perceptions - this considers the degree of intensity in each sense.  Some of us have a hypersensitivity and experience the perception too intensely.  Some of us have hyposensitivity or dulled sensitivity.  Your degree of sensitivity in each of the senses has deep impact on your sense of self, your ability to participate in the world and the degree to which you know others.
3. The organization of your perceptions - how do you arrange your perceptions so that your thoughts and feelings make good sense and not nonsense? I will write more on this as we study the twelve senses.
4. Lastly, the integration of the senses - Your senses all work together in creating your life of soul.  They integrate in dyads and triads.  Six work to give you an appropriate selfishness and six work to give you appropriate unselfishness. Understanding and developing a clear picture of the way you integrate your twelve senses will establish a compassionate sense of self.
