"In a true relationship when you give to someone it gives back to you," says one of the movie's titles. This is the key to Sense8, and the film will accept to accept the film for what it is, to go along with its basic ideas and to participate in its audience experience, you will find the movie an irritating bore. But if you can let the whole thing fall apart, then your sensory experience, you'll leave the theatre a far richer person

Watching "Come to Your Senses" is like reliving a childhood Christmas. It's a warm, cozy, intimate experience that allows with small thoughts, pleasant surfaces and the joy of togetherness.
The movie teaches self-awareness through expanded training. The second training is in an "in" thing these days, and some people may criticize *Senses* as capitalizing on the fact that the surprisingly competent hands Gunther and director Bernard Gunther are about to experience a "Senses" comes off as an honest look at this particular route to self-awareness.

During the summer of 1969 nine volunteers were filmed during a five-day sensory encounter session at the Esalen Institute in Gunther, a staff member at Esalen, a leading group through various exercises: slapping and tapping heads and arms, pulling nose, tossing each other into the grass, dumping in the grass, smelling daisies.
"I like to find some things out about myself. I'm not sure what I want," the older, sobbing woman complains. "They don't even tell me how to."
The first part of the film is designed to let the viewer identify himself by seeing who he gets into the proper mood. Identification comes fast and hits hard. Within the first few minutes, you see a man shown scribing in anguish as she says, "Nobody ever knows me, I am, because I don't know what I'm going to do."
Members of the Easalen group are shown leading each other on a rope, and one person closes his eyes while another stands on a silent exploration of the outdoors. They are forced to trust their own abilities in dependence. By this, they begin
to really touch, communicate with and know themselves and others.
Few people today have the time, and even fewer make the effort to be active. How much pleasure "cries one of the group members, just to lie on the grass" can be done without it? Don't often take time ...
Gunther asks the viewers to guide their consciousness on a trip through their bodies, to tap into their senses and to chat. Between these exercises are shown slow-motion sequences of an orange being peeled and then being scooped up by soap lather. There are other exercises and images, but these particular ones stimulate so as not to evaporate water or enraptured viewers to refrain from rushing to the bathroom to wash their hands before grocery store to peel an orange.
"Senses" is a beautiful, loving movie. It has a few faults, like Rod McKenna's old songs and the way she first it's hard to tell what's going on, what the whole thing is about. But the naturalness of the people in her photography, Gunther's honesty of purpose and the warm togetherness of the entire experience obliterate the minor
"Comes to Your Senses" is no blockbuster epic; it's not even a "meal-to-peachy-keech" message for the screen. A simple film, and in its simplicity it becomes on of the most opaque works of cinema, a doubt, it's one of the best chances we've had in several decades. It's a movie that minutes at a Lawrence theatre.

By now they were playing almost nightly at the Cellar at Sixteenth and Leavenworth Streets. Word was spreading, they said, and they developed a following. Their crowds grew. On some evenings, Bumpy Action stirred persons in the audience to dance on chairs.
They were lucky, members said later. The promoter had heard them. He signed them for the concert. By the end of their segment of the concert, Bumpy Action had some of the 8,800
