Ever wondered why or how we know when something is wrong? Or when we know when to get out of a certain place because a person's aura just doesn't feel safe? That, my friend, is our sixth sense. Apparently our sixth sense can perceive the presence of a ghost, spirit, auras, and things of that nature. Now whether that is actually true or not depends on our mind and science - and that's why I'm here to possibly break that barrier between science and the human mind with a simple conclusion most of us seem to forget.

This here is the complexity and parts of your brain; interesting right? Well it gets more complex from there. According to scientists, a human who has a sixth sense uses more than one part of his or her brain to fully process exactly what they are dealing with. This can range from smell and memory to visual association. Think about it; have you ever thought you've seen a ghost? Can you tell the intentions of someone just by looking at them or from the sound of their voice? It is strange, but this sixth sense is, or was, vital for our survival many years ago. With that being said, could we have more than that? You'd be surprised at what neurologists say.

From childhood we were taught the 5 basic senses; sight, auditory, smell, taste, and touch. What school never taught us is that we can have up to 21 according to neurologists! Astounding huh? Dr. Mercola, an osteopathic physician and an alternative medicine proponent says we have senses beyond the 6th and spiritual such as internal senses and proprioception, which is tested when doing a sobriety test. Now whether or not those things are true depends on the individual since every body is built differently. Another concern most people address is whether or not these senses are real. And of course they are! Physicians and neurologists say the human body and mind is mechanically complex, and as long as you're in tune with your body and mind, most of the things you "feel" are absolutely real.

Personally in my semesters taking biology and human anatomy, I learned a lot about the human mind and body. Each individual is different nonetheless and what each of us sense is true to it's word, our flaw is ignoring these signals for various reasons. My professor always told me "if you're going to ignore what your body is telling you, you're better off dead." And I knew where he was coming from. You see, your body is also an alarm system, it alerts you in different ways when something is wrong. Lower lumbar pain can be a sign of nerve damage and having a hard time breathing after a run can be a sign of asthma. Anything signaled from your body, whether external or internal, is your body and mind talking. 21 senses tying itself to our body and mind it's always best to listen to what it's saying.
