[:en]Renee Descartes and his well known sentence\u00a0 \u201cCogito,Ergo Sum \u201c- I Think, therefore I am –\u00a0 express\u00a0 his\u00a0 dualistic vision of the human being:\u00a0 body and mind are separated from each other and the only guarantee I have of my own existence is\u00a0 my\u00a0 mind. We would say that Descartes was a believer of the separateness of mental and physical realm.\u00a0 And the mental realm was\u00a0 seen as the unique\u00a0 gift from evolution.<\/p>\n
I would like to reverese the famous quotation\u00a0 and say\u201d Non Cogito, Ergo Sum\u201d – I\u00a0 don\u2019t think, therefore I am – and\u00a0 take it a my motto for my way as a sensation scientist.<\/p>\n
While studying the complicated nervous system I often felt\u00a0 fascinated and relieved to be reminded of how many motions, how many actions we do automatically, without thinking.<\/p>\n
How great it is\u00a0 that I don\u2019t not have to think about breathing all the time.\u00a0 There are so many involuntary action we should take care of if it wasn\u2019t for the nervous system that does it for us.\u00a0 We do not have to think about coughing, sneezing, digesting and so on.<\/p>\n
The interplay of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system gives me the chance to dance because the somatic nervous system that is\u00a0 taking care of my muscles,\u00a0 and\u00a0 I can be\u00a0 in the dance while my heart is getting faster stimulated by the release of glucose from my liver and shunted blood from my skin to the skeletal system. What a great secret support!<\/p>\n
Thanks to\u00a0 the thinking body, thanks to\u00a0 the body wisdom I have\u00a0 more possibility to think about the universe and\u00a0 get busy with life matters and still breath. \u00a0 Thank you somatic nervous system! I can live my life in my mental realm to be sure I am living. \u00a0 Cogito ergo sum.<\/p>\n
But this is not\u00a0 what I am aiming for. What I\u00a0 now want is\u00a0 to say : Non cogito, ergo sum.<\/p>\n
I want to have longer period of time in my daily\u00a0 life\u00a0 where I don\u2019t think.\u00a0 I want to become a sensation scientist.\u00a0 I want to sense.\u00a0 I want to\u00a0 breath mindfully \u00a0 as often as I can and get\u00a0 a pleasurable sensation out of it each time, I want to sense my mounth as I am talking and sense my fingertips while I am writing, smell the air around me, sense my sitting bones ,sense the colours in the space I find myself and sense the sounds around me while I am writing: I no longer want to miss this all<\/p>\n
I want to unwire\u00a0 my reflex and my habits and\u00a0 to live an healthier , tasty, colored, warm , harmonic and\u00a0 spicy life. \u201cNevertheless even in human beings the neural response to a given situation also may become hardwired through habits or reflex. \u201c<\/p>\n
What I want is my natural ability\u00a0 of study my\u00a0 sensations every moment of my life , appreciate and examine sensations all day long. I want to get back into balance .\u00a0 This is the special gift I get from my nervous system and also the\u00a0 special gift I can do my nervous system so that our relationships stays healthy and mutually advantageous.<\/p>\n
