sensory awareness

When I was taking part in the various sensory awareness exercises, my attention was brought to many new experiences.In my life I feel that I am physically aware of some things, such as pain, fatigue, and even how a body part might feel at one moment.We as people do not listen to our bodies and we go through life missing everything that should be “normal”. i noticed that only at a given time i would notcied anything is hurting or bothering me only when it hurts, not actually taking time out for myself to she how exactly i feel at every moment in my life. For example, during the exercise in which we had to find our way back to the class blindfolded (upstaris), I noticed how many other senses became stronger when we lost our eyesight. My hearing became one of my main sources of information. I also had to use my memories as a main sense in order to move around since my eyesight was gone. I was more aware of things around me just because I was afraid I might walk into something. i was really trying to do the blind fold and experince it for what its worth. i really thought it was intersting and it wasnt as easy as i thought it was going to be, to walk up the stairs and get in the class room with out any vision.
