Wednesday 6th May
The moon rises in the constellation of Sagittarius, the Archer, bringing a pulse of warmth into the day. It awakens our passions and invites us into the new. Let us use our senses to explore the natural world, whether in our gardens or in the landscape around us. Through the five familiar senses, we experience exteroception: an awareness of the world outside ourselves. Yet, as Steiner pointed towards in his picture of the twelve senses, we also have other ways of sensing. We have interoception, the perception of our inner bodily life, and proprioception, the sense of how we relate ourselves to our environment through movement, balance, and bodily position. So, when we go outside today, let us become sensory instruments: acknowledging and perceiving what we c an through our traditional senses, but also listening beyond them, into our inner space and into the living relationship between body, soul, and world.
