Developing 6th Sense: Part 2- Taste

Our last post was about enhancing your olfactory function to help set your ground in developing 6Th Sense.

With this post let us move on to the development of 2ND Sensory perception Taste.

One eight of our life is spent in eating while awake.

*****Hahaha. Who eats while sleeping.***** Joking.

Yes, so out of the most aware moments of our life much is spent in cooking and eating. After all, that's what the life revolves around. Eat to live or live to eat. Depending on one's own point of view.

Yup, so.... It is essential to eat. Or else we die. Right???

Hmm, that's right but...

Oh God! Why does this but comes everywhere???

... But we hardly taste what we Eat or Drink.

Oh! So is that what it is about???

Yes, of course, Taste. Taste what you eat or Drink. How will the Sense of taste be fulfilled if you are eating like a machine, unconsciously, unaware of what taste the food brings to you???

So let us develop the sense of taste.

  • Be aware of what you are eating.
  • Feel the texture of the food in your mouth.
  • Be aware of the taste on your tongue.
  • Be conscious of the taste of ingredients in the food.
  • How is the taste when it your mouth is empty?
  • Chew the food thoroughly and be present to the taste with every chew. Every time your teeth grinds the food and drinks the taste changes. Allow yourself to feel the pleasure of taste of each item.
  • Feel the taste coming in your mouth even before you eat the food.
  • Make a list of all the things you taste in the cooked food.
  • Ask for the recipe and match your list with the ingredients.
When you have perfected the taste for at least few days, request someone to help you out with this advance exercise.

  • Blindfold yourself.
  • Ask your friend or spouse to feed you 7-8 different things, raw and cooked both. Taste it and tell them what all you taste.
  • Open your eyes and identify all that you tasted and answered correctly.
More advance Exercise:

  • Combine the Olfactory and taste functions. Make a list and identify.
Enjoy!

Do it for at least a week to a month.
Note down the results.
