Engaging the Five Senses

The intelligent coordination of life consists of four parts: the soul, the mind and the senses of the physical body. Each of these has a specific function that contributes to the wholeness we experience as life and focus to maintain these specific functions leads to a balanced integrated relationship. When imbalance in the physical, emotional or mental arises the inner subjective life that cannot be apprehended by the five senses and the outer physical objective areas of life of the five senses are bifurcated producing duality consciousness. Disconnecting ego (outer life) from the soul (inner life) from the stream of universal consciousness is the contributor of conflict producing human resistance, struggle, disease and pain.

 The senses are a fundamental property that arises out of the five elements because they act as a bridge between the non-physical world of soul and mind to the physical body and environment. Without the five senses our internal reality would be completely devoid from an external reality, as the senses gather information from the outer world and perceptions are relayed to the mind in the form of sound; touch and temperature; light; color and form; taste and flavor; and smell.

Our state of consciousness is a vital factor in how we apply or misapply our sense energies. It shapes our reality, as it is the perception we carry of life that shows us where we are in resistance or bondage. If our perception is impaired or diminished, it eventually produces wrong or negative physical and external conditions because our inner source is dis-eased. We do not see things clearly as our emotional biases impair our functions and therefore misapply or misdirect our senses.

The hostility, bitterness, disappointments, deprivation, deficiencies, and antagonisms of our sufferings that comprise our inner state from sensory misapplication turns outward into manifestation, onto the body and onto others. They become our patterns through repetition and reinforcement. Faulty patterns that run deeply within us negate who we are by the inhibition of natural processes and flexibility of movement that results in an imbalance of all the interrelated physiological systems and subtle energies of the chakra system.

 When we misuse our senses (touch, sight, taste, hearing and smell) with their objects we have the potential to suffer and create disease. For instance, excessive sensory stimuli borne out of living in the syncopated rhythms of modernity overload the senses from loud music; noisy environments such as living near an airports or train station and traffic; watching too much T.V. or working too long on the computer and reading too much; and talking excessively on the phone. These are considered over-stimulated states of the senses affecting the chakras.

 Another example of how we misuse our senses is insufficient sensory input or psychical starvation, a form of deprivation that leads to deficiency and apathetic states where it becomes difficult to react to a situation. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a clear physiological example that occurs during winter months affecting mood changes from little sunlight that feeds the pineal gland whose lack causes depression and disease. Isolation or solitary confinement in prison and war camps also creates agitation and mental imbalance from the inhibition of sensory stimulation from the outside world.

 The third way that we misuse our senses is by sensory intake of something traumatic that is morally and emotionally repugnant such as witnessing violence, whether in real life situations, bad relationships or on TV, watching shows that continually feature cruelty, emotional and physical violence. The sensory impression of seeing and hearing distress has a strong impact on the nervous system that disrupts the balance between the mind and body.

 Misuse of the senses in general has an adverse effect that weakens and damages the coordination between the mind and body, harming the mind and damaging the body. To engage and strengthen the five senses we use them together as often as we can.

Bifurcation: Inhibition & Exhibition

Bifurcation: Inhibition & Exhibition

By Alisa Battaglia, B.D, CHT, EFT, TH


It is vital to understand that dis-ease results from a misuse of force, the blocking of free flowing generative energy that feeds the creative life of the Soul. That dis-ease is a form of activity that registers through the mental animation of thought, which blends together with feeling that forms the emotional body, which in turn affects and shapes the physical body. Hence, a distorted matrix of energy holds dysfunction and dis-ease patterns in place that neither permits a free interplay of force nor a correct rhythm throughout the physical vehicle. Points of congestion whether from over-stimulation or inhibition in the emotional, mental and etheric bodies of which can be seen by the shape of the body and in neurotic, compulsive-obsessive and addictive behaviors that all contribute to the external origins of dis-ease.

It is interesting to find that only five percent of prevalent diseases are due to mental causes. Disease is not of mental origin as so few live in the world of thought and fewer in the world of reality. However, those of a highly developed mental nature and sensitivity manufacture physiological effects with a definite psychological basis. This is because ills psychological in character remain submerged in the realm of mind. These include nervous diseases, inhibitions, suppressions, submissions to desires and their reverse aspects. There is to note a distinction between neurotic and psychological troubles of which may be a result of personality integration or excessive soul stimulation rather than the result of wrong polarization.

Wrong polarization of energy would reveal distorted attitudes to life and relation to people of which is primarily the result of obliterating an original thought that is stepped down to the level of emotionalism. Thoughts are powerful currents of energy that can manifest as effects on the physical plane, but when thoughts remain untouched upon the mental plane and move into emotionalism, there is failure to carry thought through into creative action upon the physical plane. The inability to engage what we think, feel, say and do in a unified movement produces a bifurcation or cleavage in the personality that cuts off vital streams of energy that devitalizes the body-mind-spirit complex.

Ninety percent of dis-ease arises from the etheric and emotional-feeling body, the 2nd (naval) and 4th (heart) chakras. In the emotional body, uncontrolled, ill-regulated and emotional inhibitions are a potent factor in contributing and producing discomfort and disease in the human constitution and whose generalizations of symptoms follow: fevers, tumors, congested areas, general debility and auto-intoxication which lie behind so many symptoms.

The etheric body is the inner substantial form or energetic template that underlies and sustains the human being. It is the framework upon which the physical body is constructed and patterned and whose field must be repaired for healing to occur. The etheric field contains an intricate network of pathways that are the threads of life force that underlie every part of the body and along with the seven major centers or chakras, act as transmitters of a vast aggregate of forces and vital energies that regulate the organs, glands, nervous system and the brain. Any body of activity can be distinguished by the particular problems associated with the energy center. For example, prolonged irritation and intense worry, violent activity under stress of temper and any agitation that galvanizes the solar plexus center into a condition of intense disturbance affects the stomach, pancreas, gall bladder, and duct, which produce a myriad of chronic problems and so on. These symptoms are best worked through “The Feeling Heart of Awareness Process and subsequent Body Cartography” sessions that dissolves these patterns.
