EXERCISE nº4 - "Synchronization of your senses"

Ordinary people not affected by DP/DR use as a whole his five senses to discern the world:

When they enter a cathedral for the very first time, in a natural way, they observe the spectacular and colored showcases in the windows, hear the echo from distant sounds, feel with their touch the reigning cold and moisture, as well as the texture of the columns, they smell the old wood from the benches and the odor of mold that emanates from the crypts.

When they make a manual activity, as typing on the keyboard, they look at their fingers, the keys they are pressing and hear the sound produced by them, feel the texture of them, etc...



When there is a conversation on the table, intuitively turn their head to observe and pay attention to their tablemates.

In a permanent state of stress or alteration by a DP/DR disorder, we don't pat attention to those details. We apparently hear well, see ok, but not as a whole,  not the two senses together. That fact contributes to that our reality perception was not correct.

We indeed "see "and "hear" instead of "observe" and "listen" in a synchronized way.

Ok. We must work in that point...

EXERCISE nº4: "Synchronization of our senses":

This exercise is too simple and can be fulfill while we have our daily half an hour "sensory walk":
Exercise 4.1: "Turn your gaze mindfully to the sounds you hear"
"Pay close attention to the sounds that surrounds you, to the conversations of people, to your footsteps and determine / observe whence the sound comes, It is not enough with hearing it, you should move as you get closer to the noisy source determining the position or place whence it comes.
 
Exercise 4.2: "Listen mindfully the sound produced by the objects you knock"

Produce sounds with your fingers, with your hands, with some object hitting another one, etc,.. while you observe yourself doing it . It is crucial to look at the precise point where you are touching because it is the same place where the sound will be generated.
