Su propriocezione
e enterocezione
11-12-2017
Queste due parole
che sembrano particolarmente difficili esprimono due realtà molto
semplici
Propriocezione
significa percezione di se stessi , in particolare si usa per quanto
riguarda il proprio corpo.
Sembra normale
che ognuno percepisca il suo corpo ma invece per molti normale non lo
è affatto.
Al di la di
specifiche malattie sia mentali che non che di fatto impediscono
questa percezione rendendo di fatto la vita di alcune persone molto
difficile, esiste sicuramente nell’attuale società moderna così
poco “naturale” e più vicina al mondo digitale che non è altro
che un alter ego appunto dell’ego della mente, molti
condizionamenti atti a ridurre la propriocezione.
Per sfuggire a
ciò molte persone, più sensibili di altre a questa lontananza dalla
natura e dalla naturalezza, svolgono alcune pratiche come lo Yoga, il
Tai Chi o semplicemente meditazioni o altre pratiche che servono per
entrare nel quieora tramite l’amplificazione della presenza e
consapevolezza.
D’altronde la
propriocezione non è forse un atto di consapevolezza di se stessi?
Come possiamo
vivere in modo soddisfacente la nostra vita di tutti i giorni se
alcuni concetti come IO, IL MIO CORPO, IL CORPO DEGLI ALTRI, L’UNIONE
DI TUTTE LE COSE VIVENTI E NON non sono almeno abbozzati nella nostra
sfera di conoscenza?
Una pratica la
possiamo fare tutti noi tutti i giorni e quando vogliamo, ovunque
siamo:
praticare
l’immersione totale nei nostri sensi in collegamento con la
consapevolezza, attraverso l’osservazione senza giudizio e
interferenza della mente e dei pensieri di tutto ciò che ci
circonda…
L’aria per
esempio, qualcuno si è mai fermato a sentire l’aria che contorna
ed entra nel nostro corpo attraverso la pelle, attraverso il respiro
entra dentro di noi e riempe i polmoni dando ossigeno al nostro
sangue e facendo funzionare perfettamente qualche trigliardo di
cellule del nostro corpo, l’ria che spinta dal vento con la
differenza di temperature muove e produce suoni meravigliosi di rami
che titinnano nel cielo e potre continuare per ore descrivendo ogni
meraviglia che ci circonda MA CHE I NOSTRI SENSI IGNORANO POICHE’
LA MENTE E’ TROPPO OCCUPATA NEL SUO ASSURDO LAVORO IN OGNI ISTANTE,
ed ogni istante moriamo ed ogni istante rinasciamo.
Qualcuno si è
mai accorto dopo qualche ora dell’effetto di sentire il proprio
corpo appoggiato sul supporto ove siamo posati? Oppure sentiamo
solamente quando il corpo , STUFO DI ESSERE IGNORATO DA UNA MENTE
COSI’ SUPERBA CI INVIA DEI SEGNALI ATTRAVERSO DOLORI?
Per questo la
propriocezione è così importante: se tutti i giorni ringraziassimo
i sensi usandoli per guardare con occhi veri (senza giudizio, senza
etichette, senza pensieri che subito nascono per spiegare o
trasformare cosa vediamo!) , ascoltare solo con le orecchie tutto il
fantastico mondo dei suoni, sentire attraverso il naso i profumi e le
puzze ringraziando per i segnali che ci invia, gustando attraverso la
bocca ad ogni boccone e ringraziando per il buon sapore di quanto
stiamo assaporando che ci mantiene vivi insieme , come dicevo prima,
all’aria che respiriamo che non contiene sollo ossigeno , azoto ed
altri gas importanti alla nostra vita MA CONTIENE LA VITA STESSA
ATTRAVERSO SOTTILI FORME DI ENERGIA CHE INCORPORIAMO AD OGNI RESPIRO.
Il fatto stesso
che il nostro corpo è quieora in questo CAMPO ENERGETICO , lo
influenza CREANDO DI FATTO LA REALTA’ CHE VIENE PERCEPITA! E questo
non lo dico io e nessun mistico o qualche teoria new age la le ultime
scoperte della FISICA QUANTISTICA.
Ho lasciato per
ultimo il tatto ma non importanza, anzi perché per me (essendo anche
un massaggiatore) il tatto è il senso più importante.
Attraverso IL
CONTATTO tra la nostra pelle viaggiano CALORE, ENERGIA, AMORE non
solo fisicamente ma nei gesti, quando ci stringiamo la mano in modo
sincero, quando abbracciamo fornendo supporto e amore , quando ci
sfioriamo nell’atto di amarci fisicamente e tutto il nostro corpo
trema di emozione come se non esistesse altro che NOI, ed è proprio
così , in quel momento non esiste altro che il NOI, perché il IO E
TE non esistono più: E’ QUESTO IL SEGRETO INTRINSECO ALLA
GRANDEZZA DEL TOCCARE, DEL CONTATTO TRA I CORPI, UNA GRANDEZZA
DAVVERO INFINITA.
Adesso vi
chiederete cosa sia l’enterocezione.
E’ lo stesso
principio enucleato qui sopra e scritto da me , (spero chiaramente)
ma rivolto non verso l’esterno ma verso l’INTERNO DI NOI STESSI.
SIA UNO CHE
L’ALTRO POSSONO ESSERE MEMORIZZATI LEGGENDO E ATTRAVERSO
SPIEGAZIONI ORALI MA FINIRANNO PRESTO NELL’OBLIO IN QUESTO MODO
COME OGNI SAPERE CHE NON HA DOPO BREVE TEMPO LA
PROVA DELL’ESPERZIENZA.
NON esiste una vera CONOSCENZA SENZA ESPERIENZA.
Avete mai avuto l’esperienza di ricevere un massaggio fatto da
mani esperte ma soprattutto amorevoli? Se si ve lo ricordate
sicuramente mentre se chi vi massaggiava pensava solo ai fatti suoi
ed al conto che avreste pagato, sarà un fievole ricordo sbiadito.
Ogni azione può essere fatta in tre modi: con indifferenza, con
dolo e per produrre danni o con PASSIONE, ENTUSIASMO E TOTALITA’.
Le tre cose spesso si possono michiare ed intrecciare o essere
presenti entrambi a piccole dosi percentuali che dipendono ma
numerosi fattori il cui il più importante è LA PRESENZA MENTALE.
L’enterocezione prevede uno scalino in più perché dobbiamo
riuscire a essere osservatori di noi stessi: la consapevolezza che
osserva i pensieri, la mente come se guardassimo un cielo ove ogni
tanto passa una nuvola; prendiamo coscienza che il pensiero esiste ma
non “gli diamo energia” semplicemente osservandolo lo lasciamo
passare.
Non è molto semplice e credo che chiunque abbia provato ad
effettuare la meditazione Vipassana sa di cosa stò parlando.
Come ogni azionesiste la possibilità di allenare “i muscoli”
che la provocano ovvero accrescere tutto ciò che ci porta a
facilitare questo processo con la pratica e soprattutto con molta
determinazione.
Se la propriocezione ci porta a scoprire la posizione del nostro
corpo rispetto allo spazio ed al tempo l’enterocezione ci porta a
scoprire la nostra posizione rispetto all’universo e l’eternità.
In effetti non c0è molta differenza fra i due in quanto lo spazio
ed il tempo esistono uniti in quanto frutto della dimensione della
nostra vita terrena, la quale fa parte di un progetto più ampio e
MULTIDIMENSIONALE accessibile dall’interno e non dall’esterno.
Sembra incredibile ma dopo centinaia di anni di ricerche
scientifiche per scoprire l’universo i fisici quantistici
dimostrando sperimentalmente l’inconsistenza della materia in
quanto energia e l’unione di tutte le minuscole particelle
sub-atomiche facenti parte di un inter-essere universale sono
arrivati alle stesse conclusioni dei mistici orientali: i taoisti in
Cina , gli indù e buddhisti in India.
L’uomo è allo stesso tempo il centro e facente parte
dell’universo: è lo spettacolo e lo spettatore ma spesso non se
ne rende conto in quanto vive nell’illusione di un sogno chiamato
vita.

13 Lecture
of the University of Human Being
On proprioception and enteroception
12/11/2017
These two words that seem particularly difficult express two very simple realities
Proprioception means the perception of oneself, in particular one uses one's own body.
It seems normal that everyone perceives his body but instead for many normal it is not at all.
Beyond specific mental illnesses that do not actually prevent this perception making the life of some people very difficult, certainly exists in modern society today so little "natural" and closer to the digital world that is nothing but an alter ego precisely of the ego of the mind, many conditioning acts to reduce proprioception.
To escape from this, many people, more sensitive than others to this distance from nature and naturalness, carry out some practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi or simply meditations or other practices that serve to enter the quieora through the amplification of presence and awareness. .
On the other hand, is proprioception not an act of awareness of oneself?
How can we live our everyday life satisfactorily if some concepts like I, MY BODY, THE BODY OF THE OTHERS, THE UNION OF ALL THE LIVING THINGS ARE NOT at least sketchy in our sphere of knowledge?
We can practice a practice every day and whenever we want, wherever we are:
to practice total immersion in our senses in connection with awareness, through observation without judgment and interference of the mind and thoughts of all that surrounds us ...
For example, someone has ever stopped to feel the air that surrounds and enters our body through the skin, through the breath enters inside us and fills the lungs giving oxygen to our blood and making perfectly work some trigliardo of cells of our body, the ria that pushed by the wind with the difference of temperature moves and produces wonderful sounds of branches that are titinating in the sky and can continue for hours describing every wonder that surrounds us BUT THAT OUR SENSES IGNORE AS THE MIND AND 'TOO BUSY IN HIS ABSENCE WORK IN EVERY INSTANT, and every moment we die and every moment we are born again.
Has anyone ever noticed after a few hours the effect of feeling your body resting on the support where we are laid? Or do we only hear when the body, STUFF TO BE IGNORED BY A SO MUCH SUPERB, SENDS SIGNALS THROUGH PAIN?
This is why proprioception is so important: if every day we thank the senses by using them to look with real eyes (without judgment, without labels, without thoughts that immediately arise to explain or transform what we see!), Listen only with the ears all the fantastic world of sounds, feel the perfumes and the smells through the nose thanking for the signals that it sends us, tasting through the mouth at each bite and thanking for the good taste of what we are tasting that keeps us alive together, as I said before, all ' air that we breathe that does not contain only oxygen, nitrogen and other gases important to our life MA CONTAINS THE SAME THROUGH THIN SUBSTRATES OF ENERGY THAT WE INCREASE TO EVERY REST.
The very fact that our body is still here in this ENERGY FIELD influences it by CREATING THE REALITY THAT COMES TO YOU! And I do not say this and no mystic or some new-age theory is the last discoveries of QUANTUM PHYSICS.
I left touch last but not important, indeed because for me (being a masseur too) touch is the most important sense.
Through the CONTACT between our skin travel HEAT, ENERGY, LOVE not only physically but in gestures, when we shake hands sincerely, when we embrace providing support and love, when we touch each other in the act of loving each other physically and our body trembles with emotion as if nothing else existed but US, and that's right, at that moment there is nothing but US, because I AND YOU no longer exist: THIS IS THE SECRET INTRINSIC TO THE GREATNESS OF TOUCHING, OF THE CONTACT BETWEEN I BODIES, AN INFINITE REALLY GRANDNESS.
Now you will wonder what enteroception is.
It is the same principle enucleated above and written by me, (I hope clearly) but turned not towards the outside but towards the INSIDE OF WE SAME.
BE ONE THAT THE OTHER MAY BE MEMORIZED BY READING AND THROUGH ORAL EXPLANATIONS BUT WILL FIND SOON IN THE OBLE IN THIS WAY AS ANY KNOWING THAT HAS NO SHORT TIME AFTER THE EXPERIENCE TEST.
There is NOT a true KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE.
Have you ever had the experience of receiving a massage done by expert hands but above all loving? If you remember it for sure, and if the person who massaged you thought only of his own business and of the bill that you would have paid, it will be a faint, faded memory.
Every action can be done in three ways: with indifference, with malice and to produce damage or with PASSION, ENTHUSIASM AND TOTALITY. The three things can often be mingled and intertwined or present both in small doses that depend on but numerous factors whose most important is MENTAL PRESENCE.
Enteroception involves an extra step because we must be able to be observers of ourselves: the awareness that observes the thoughts, the mind as if we were looking at a sky where every now and then a cloud passes; we become aware that thought exists but we do not "give it energy" simply by observing it we let it pass.
It is not very simple and I believe that anyone who has tried to perform Vipassana meditation knows what I am talking about.
Like any shareholder, the ability to train "the muscles" that cause it or increase everything that leads us to facilitate this process with practice and above all with great determination.
If proprioception leads us to discover the position of our body with respect to space and time, enteroception leads us to discover our position with respect to the universe and eternity.
In fact there is not much difference between the two in that space and time exist united as the fruit of the dimension of our earthly life, which is part of a larger and MULTIDIMENSIONAL project accessible from within and not from the outside.
It seems incredible but after hundreds of years of scientific research to discover the universe quantum physicists experimentally demonstrating the inconsistency of matter as energy and the union of all the tiny sub-atomic particles that are part of a universal inter-being have arrived to the same conclusions of Eastern mystics: Taoists in China, Hindus and Buddhists in India.
Man is at the same time the center and part of the universe: it is the spectacle and the spectator but often does not realize it because he lives in the illusion of a dream called life.
