Sensory Acuity Exercises
1. Stop the World
As you breathe in allow your mind to imagine it is following your breath into your
body where it will circle around the core of your being and form a unity between
mind and body. As you continue breathing allow your focus to remain at your centre
whilst you allow you body to express to you by way of feelings exactly where that
centre is. Allow your hand to rest gently on the point on your body that is closest to
this centre. Allow the mind-body unity to explore what it would be like to follow your
out breath into the world to see, hear, smell, taste and touch everything there is to
know. When you are ready release your breath and allow your full awareness to go
with it, to return when it is ready. Notice what you notice.
2. Follow My Finger
1. The guide holds one arm directly up and points to the ceiling
2. The explorer faces the guide and adjusts his/her position until he/she can just
see the tip of the pointed finger by move his/her eyes upwards without moving
the head
3. The guide will, move the arm around in a big, slow circle, keeping the arm
straight at all times
4. The explorer will follow the pointed finger tip with his/her eyes and without
moving his/her head
5. The guide will watch the explorer’s eyes very closely noting where the
movement is smooth and where it is jerky
6. Repeat the exercise. Are the smooth and jerky movements at the same points
on the circle or different ones?
7. Swap over and repeat
3. Silent Yes/No
One person will be asked questions that have a yes/no answer. That person will think
their answers but not say them. Using their sensory acuity the rest of the people will
attempt to determine whether the answers were yes or no. Tip: begin with questions
that you know to answers to so that you can calibrate the silent person’s yes and no
responses.
