THE SENSORY BODY
Q&A’s
What is the sensory body?
The sensory body refers to the physical body. To the sensation-driven body. The sensory body is the physical part of us that feels cold, tired, bored, angry, satisfied, hungry, restless, or in our right place.
Is the sensory body a made up thing?
Yes and no. We have a sensory experience of the world. And ayurveda uses sensation as one of its markers to ascertain how and what to eat, when, in order to consume our food as medicine. But the sensory body is also a perspective, and that perspective is one that we construct based upon our own experiences.
Why is the sensory body important?
The sensory body is important because we live in a sensory world. Our sensory body enables us to connect to the world around us, but also to connect to ourselves through the sensations we experience.
What is the connection between ayurveda and the sensory body?
Ayurveda relies on an interaction between ourselves, and what we consume—be that food, thoughts, or the influences of our external environment. So learning to tune into the sensory body is important if we are to gain the ability to use intuition and sensation to moderate our consumption.
