At last science is catching up with what many have known for centuries.
Practicing "sensing" one of the tenets of the Gurdjieff Work and one technique of many in work on being present. Students of the Gurdjieff teachings (modeled somewhat on the scientific method applied to one's experience) is a way of integrating body, mind, emotion and spirit into a single force. "The Work" as it is also called combines the way of the fakir - work with the body; the way of the monk - work with emotions; and the way of the yogi - work with the mind . This work combines all three into invisible practices incorporated into daily life - called The Fourth Way. There are many books, schools, and some teachers on Gurdjieff and The Work.
