Can you feel space? Neuroscientists discovered something remarkable, when they got people to try. As an example, can you feel the space between your head and your hips? Or between your eyes? Or between you and the TV, or the page of the book you’re reading? Try to feel spaces, and see what happens. Rather than just seeing or hearing things around you or in your body, feel the spaces between them. If you have a pain in your body somewhere, feel it in space, and feel the space around it. If you’re sitting somewhere right now, feel every space in the room, within your body, and between you and every other object in the room. I’d be interested to hear what you experience.
