Sensory Development
Sensory development will literally give you more tools to think with. Why? Because our understanding of the world is achieved by creating a mental model of it in our brain.
When we think and when we imagine, we are basically entering a simulator that we have created in our heads. Our thoughts can be in the form of images, sounds, feelings, or in the form of us talking to ourselves. In other words: they are formed using our senses.
If this simulation of the world is incomplete we miss things. So by working on sensory development we increase our perception. A dominant sense explains why some people are better at sport, some at music, some at art and others at writing.
Sensory development will literally open up the world for you. It will make the place you live in much richer and much denser.
By implementing a program of sensory development we provide ourselves with more paper to draw our map of the world upon. We give ourselves more pens to draw with. And we give ourselves more references to draw from.
Begin enhancing your sensory perception by reading some of the articles below:
Visual Sense
Visualisation
An introduction to your visual sense. Here is a break down of the different elements you can train to enhance your visual sense
Developing Visualization Skills
Discover a technique for developing visualization skills that are so realistic you could almost mistake your imagination for real life.
Auditory Sense
Perfect Pitch Ear Training
Do you want the musical ability of Mozart? This will bring you closer. We used to believe perfect pitch was an inborn ability – you either had it or you didn’t. Then it was proved that children can learn it at about the age of 3. Now, exciting research is making advances in teaching it to adults.
Balance
Balance Exercise
While the visual sense is the most dominant thinking method, a sense of balance is vital for good visualisation skills. In fact our sense of balance appears to be the foundation of all the other main senses. A poor sense of balance has been linked to emotional problems, poor concentration, perceptual deficits, dyslexia, autism and ADHD. Find out how to improve this most vital of senses.
Body Awareness
Proprioception Exercise
Proprioception is the mechanism by which we sense our bodily movements. Improving this sense will help improve the awareness and coordination of your body. But it will help more than just your athletic and sporting ability: it can also help concentration, spatial awareness, reading skills, and complex planning.
