A Delight For Your Senses!

when someone says the words "a delight for your senses", what comes to mind?

i would like to talk about what this statement means by focusing on all of the senses we possess.

the word "delight" is an easy word to describe and is commonly understood. for the sake of this discussion, let's clarify the definition as "something that is liked from an experience". (reminder: what is liked and disliked is relative to the observer).

some examples of "a delight for the senses" are smelling a flower, listening to enjoyable music, tasting something delicious, etc.

as we experience reality, we have constant contact with our environment. (as we always have an environment). whether it is work, school, the jungle or the grocery store, ...all of these things are environments.

what we take from our experience is information. we use our 5 senses to sense information in our environment.

for purpose of setting tone, i ask these questions...

what are your visual delights? what are your aural delights? what are your flavor delights? what are your feeling delights?

we can all answer these questions with ease. and it can be a different answer for every person. so please challenge yourself to answer them. asking these questions is meant to remind us how often we are experiencing delightful things in our surroundings. if at all.

i wanted to discuss what kind of information we are processing in our reality, that each one of us knows very well what we like and dislike, how often we are processing information that is "delightful", and using the many ways we have to experience delightful information.

Hope this was helpful!
-Sean
