MARIAN'S CORNER - COMING TO YOUR SENSES
There is a strong pull towards gratifying the 5 senses. If however, the pleasure you get comes
through only a few of the sense portals (taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight) and the pleasure you
receive is pleasureable in the short term but detrimental long term, there is a tendency to
overindulge. For example, if you get pleasure only through food, you may overeat and usually the
wrong things. If a chosen indulgence has created a compulsion or addiction, it is very hard for the
body-mind to break this habit. It says, "This is my only pleasure in life. Don't take that away." Babalui
(the saboteur in your unconscious mind) jumps in and says, "Don't be deprived. You're having a hard
time right now. Go on a diet tomorrow." And of course, tomorrow never comes. You continue eating
too much chocolate, for example
My solution? Let's open up more sensual, healthy pleasure centers in your mind and body. Let's
expand more ways to allow you to feel good! I will show you how with great tasting food (CHI IN THE
CHOW), through touch with reflexology (THE POWER OF TOUCH) and using aromatherapy and other
natural sources of healthy, sensual self-care (SENSES ALIVE!).

Self-nurturing: Opening the Senses, Naturally
To be sensual, I think, is to respect and
rejoice in the force of life, of life itself,
and to be present in all that one does,
from the effort of loving to the breaking
of bread.
James Baldwin, 1924-1987
