Our Brain as a Sensory System
A healthy brain is dependent on activation of our five senses: Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. When the receptors for a sense are stimulated, they send messages to the brain to activate it and create neuroplastic changes. Gravity is the most powerful force associated with stimulating these nerves because it is the only sensory stimulus that acts on our bodies 24/7. Touch includes information that comes from all of our muscles and all of our joints – we call it proprioception, or your ability to locate you body in space.
