I had an interesting experience with awareness. The other day I was being driven home from a movie night with my friends and I was quite tired. I fell asleep but I was still aware of what was going on around me. I could hear the conversation that the others were having and sat up, wide awake when we reached my house. It was strange, I was refreshed from my sleep, but I had been awake at the same time. Cool no?

But I do have a question. Is there a way, besides practice, to improve your awareness or maximize your use of the 5 senses? I know my awareness has improved since starting karate but I would like to have it get even better.

Practice is the only way I know. Meditation and internal stillness exercises are the best practice I know.

stuff like that happens to me from time to time, mainly falling asleep in school but knowing everything the teacher has said.

Still weird every time though...

Heh. I spent my entire high school geometry class in such a state. Got an "A".

Like Laren said. Meditation and internal stillness. 3nodding
