WHAT IS SENSUOUSNESS?

'Sensuousness means you are open, your doors are open, you are ready to throb with existence.  If a bird starts singing, the sensuous person immediately feels the song echoed in his deepest core of being.  The non-sensuous person does not hear it at all, or maybe just as a noise somewhere; it does not penetrate his heart.

The sensuous person is liquid, flowing, fluid.   A Zen master told one of his disciples who wanted to paint bamboos,"Go and first become a bamboo...how can you paint a bamboo if you have not known what a bamboo feels like from within?"' (Body Mind Balancing, Osho 2005)

Our upcoming Sensually Alive Weekend aims to reconnect us to feeling and sensuousness in the body. It's just the beginning.
