Our Twelve Senses: How Healthy Senses Refresh the Soul (Social Ecology S.)

Healthy senses help to refresh our souls. These windows into the world are the vital wellsprings of our inner life. This profound -- yet simple -- book helps us to discover the wonders of the senses so we can enrich our experience of the world. Living soulfully means awakening to the world's beauty -- to color, warmth, movement, smell, sound, taste, and texture. But the sensory overload of modern life can also leave us feeling empty and thirsting for more stimulation. So how do we pay closer attention to healthy sensing? We can begin by appreciating the rich tapestry of the twelve senses, rather than the usual five. This book offers insights into the physical, soul, and spiritual senses, to encourage a greater awareness of our own humanity. The author's research into the senses builds on Rudolf Steiner's work and forms an original contribution to spiritual psychology.
