Exercise 3: Sensory Treasure Chest
Our bodies are always filtering sensory information from our environments. You can join with these sensory processes by creating a "sensory treasure box" that can encourage physiological states that promote safety, presence, and connection.
Amidst this process, you want to give yourself permission to be silly, curious, and playful. Permission to enjoy the process of having sensory preferences and honoring choices that feel good, interesting, and pleasurable. |
Start your treasure hunt by locating a container to place your sensory items in. The container itself can be a sensory pleasure or perhaps you would prefer it to be sensory neutral- take all the time you want to explore your options. If you ever notice you start feeling overwhelmed with your options, consider pausing the process, relax your efforts and return when the states of silliness, curiosity and playfulness are more accessible.
