I chose to explore every other sense besides sight, by closing my eyes and sitting indoors and outdoors. for 15 minutes each. When I finished I wrote down some of the things I heard, felt, or smelled down on paper. Then I compared the things I had sensed indoors and what I sensed outdoors.
When I sat inside the house I felt very calm and still. However, there was a few distractions such as the toilet flushing, walking, and water running. Then at times it felt like someone was standing over me which broke my concentration. So keeping my eyes closed inside the house made me feel uneasy at times. The sense that was heightened the most was hearing because there were so many different sounds going on that it distracted me from keeping my mind calm.
When I sat outside everything seemed peaceful and harmonious. All of the different sounds I heard and the wind I felt just all seem to flow together and it was not distracting. The sense that was the most heightened for me while sitting outside was more of an internal feeling. I felt a connection with nature because everthing just flowed together.
