Perhaps you remember from numerology that the number five has to do with the acceptance of the ability to shape and mold. (Note: I know that the number 5 has other numerical meanings but I’m choosing this one because it fits this blog entry best. :-) Five’s physical representation is analogous to bread dough before it is shaped into a loaf that is ready for the oven. From a spiritual perspective the number five has to do with energies that when experienced, result in the shape or the acceptance of the memory of the event. The shaping energy has five components that are represented by the five senses.
We all are aware of the senses. But how do they shape the mind? A good way to look at mental shaping is to draw an analogy with the ingredients of the earlier loaf of bread. However, instead of flower, milk, eggs, salt and butter, we have hearing, seeing, touching, smelling and tasting. Each ingredient enriches the experience. An ingredient or so can be left out but the relative experience, be it through eating or by the memory, diminishes. We basically yearn for the fullest experience.
In other words, the senses relate to corresponding human yearnings. Yearnings will ultimately stimulate some sort of action. However, if over an extended period of time, no action is taken to fulfill the yearn, the body becomes unbalanced. The senses provide a mechanism for bringing the body back into shape. The key is to recognize what unfilled yearn caused the original problem, and select a healing methodology that uses the corresponding sense. The result is a balanced body as long as action is then taken to fulfill the yearn in a reasonable amount of time.
The correspondence between the sense and the yearn is:
- Smelling - Belonging
- Tasting - Creativity
- Seeing - Recognition
- Touching - Understanding
- Hearing - Interaction
Foe example, if a person is experiencing loneliness, then aromatherapy would be a good method to be used in order to help restore balance.
