‘Use it or lose it’ has definitely become a cliché – for very good reason. It’s true – and for many of our capacities, not just your brain function. We’re also losing our senses – in more ways that one. Not just adults, but children too. And the repercussions go deeper than simply forgetting names, or opening the fridge and wondering what you were going there for. We lose our ability to truly enjoy the richness of life, we lose our creative edge, and on a deeper level, our sense of fulfillment and meaning.According to tests carried out since the 60’s our sensitivity to stimuli is decreasing by 1% per year. Delicate sensations are being filtered out of our consciousness. Enjoyment and aesthetic levels have dropped dramatically. 15 years ago people could distinguish 3 million sounds, today many children can’t go beyond 1 million sounds. The average is 180k.
Why is this? Our environment is bombarded with high level stimuli to the point that for young brains, blocks are set up in order to buffer themselves. Ever- higher levels are then needed in order to be registered – and the vicious spiral continues. As a result, many young people must have a steady input of high level stimuli or they sink into sensory isolation and anxiety. Today it appears that entire brain areas are being skipped over. Information is processed without evaluation or meaning. New brains can tolerate extremes of dissonance or discord. They can handle contradictions in what researchers refer to as ‘new indifference’. Little wonder violence is escalating. And the 1 million doses of Ritalin a day will not solve the problem.
Rachel Flower shares her expertise in how we can come back to our senses in a series which explores each of our senses individually. She shares facts, figures, inspirations and practical tips to help all of us, young and old, stimulate the brain and open up new neural pathways to enhance learning. This 6-part series begins on July 20th with an introduction and an overview of all the senses, and then explores vision, hearing and smell (the following month she will present the remaining senses)
All of us need to be more conscious of our senses and body wisdom to help stimulate the brain, especially for youngsters for whom pathways and patterns are being established. So, whatever modality you choose for that, just make sure it ‘makes sense’ to your senses!
