Thought I'd post up a cool reminder of a way to maximize sensuousness throughout the day, for anyone trying to do that, or anyone else... nice for everyone, not just actualists. ;)
Pick an area, any area - inside or outside - to stop and sit down at at some point in your day. While sitting there see how much you can sensually notice about the scene - sights, sounds, smells, tactile, taste. Notice
all the fine little details with as many of these senses as possible. For example with sights - Say you're outside sitting on a park bench and there are trees, birds, a stream. One of the nicest things I like to notice about trees is the way the light catches the leaves - the transparent quality of each of the leaves that allows the light to sparkle through, illuminating it to vivid shades of yellow, chartreuse, casting shadows upon other leaves, deepening their color and the contrast changing their shape. The interesting way water seems to have a thick body to it, but moves so gracefully.. smooth, silver and lucid when its flow is uninterrupted, a bit percolating and jumping white when it skips over a rock.
Switch it up to not sitting down too, since this can literally be done anywhere. Often when I'm walking around the city I opt to turn off my ipod (sometimes that seems to absorb me too much into "my" world).. feeling the breeze, fascinated by the dynamics of the city lights and architecture, people walking around, hearing the sounds of the cars whirring, catching the music people are listening to in their cars, smells wafting out of restaurants or a coffee shop. Catch onto each of the things in the environment you're in and
notice as much as you can about their sensual qualities.
You can easily do this tons of times in a day. Yes, sitting down at work too (isn't there a nice quiet quality to just sitting down somewhere?) Just keep doing it more and more often each day, at more places, and there you have attentiveness to sensuousness extended throughout your whole day.
