[5] Sensory Deprivation - Sight

Last semester, there was one day where people were walking around blindfolded, guided by a partner. I never found out if it was an event, but it was really interesting. I've been wanting to that since, but never got the chance... UNTIL TODAY!

In Jazz Dance, we did the same thing! It was really interesting! At first, it's really nerve-wracking because wherever you go and no matter how much your partner reassures you, your brain tells you that there's a big wall you're going to walk into--or some sort of ledge you're going to trip over and hurt yourself. With a little more time, you warm up to the experience and that's when it REALLY starts getting fun. You stop sweating nervously and start noticing so much more from your other senses. Who knew deprivation of one sense can enhance the others (audition, touch, smell, taste even, and PROPRIOCEPTION). I only did it for ten minutes, but those ten minutes were really amazing!

Try it out! It's lots of fun to do with a friend.
