Sensory Quotient

So much talk about the wisdom of the body these days. So much talk about the need to be more responsible in relationship to the earth. What is needed is to use this rhetoric to go deeper than observation into the direct experience of being what we observe. Mythology tells us of a god named Mercury with wings on his feet who because of his ability to move quickly was able to go into and out of the under world without fear getting lost or trapped. He would take the other gods on tours of the underworld to show them this world beneath the heavens Mercury was also known as Messenger of the gods. That being my last name I feel my purpose has everything to do with taking those who are comfortable in the abstract worlds of thoughts and emotions into the world I love most and am most intimate with the body.
This underworld speaks a language of sensual changes in texture, density and movement. This communication is spoken through the nervous system inside and throughout all levels organs, cells, molecules and more. To say something is felt in the heart is in fact inaccurate. It is the nerves in the heart that feel the feeling of fullness expansive pressures, pulsations and textures.
We're "out of touch". At age 3 there is a shift from the tactile sense being predominant to the eyes. Simultaneously cognitive function and words are used to describe and make observations of what is experienced. Focus is drawn to the outside. Touch happens increasingly through the eyes giving power to the illusion of being separate moving us away from bodily senses believing we live in and are part of an outer world. Gradually we learn to relate to the language of the body as subconscious the spooky unknown underworld, something left behind on the path of progress. We become identified with ideas and ideals. Bodies our direct connection with nature become conditioned by how life could should and ought to be.
Pride is attached to high scores in IQ measuring skill in navigating the abstract worlds of thought. Now EQ has found a place recognizing emotional intelligence speaks about skill in how we navigate in the world of feelings. Now is the time for SQ sensory intelligence the platform and substance that ties all the others together so we can be whole.
This site and what will be offered is all about reclaiming ourselves as beings capable of scaling the full range of uncharted heights and without fear exploring the depths where thoughts and emotions become meaningful.
