This is a handbook for thriving with change by thinking differently. Everyone has intuition. It guides us to recognize purpose and timing. Being in sync with change intuitively updates options and balances stress.

    It's easy to train your brain to take Life to the next level by eating intuitively. Sensing is the natural way way to sync with change. Lucid Living will make it easy to organize, transform and enhance self-expression and communication. You will discover easy resilience and confidence. If you're not happy, it's time to rewire your thinking.

    The way we eat usually mirrors the way we make every decision. This means, if you eat fast and don't really taste your food, the choices you make may not be based on really knowing all the facts. Or if you eat whatever is easiest instead of noticing what your body needs, you may be settling for less than you deserve. Your intuitive power, dignity and strength are pure glamour. Lucid Living in the Virtual Age is a small handbook with big answers that could change your Life.
    Your natural capacity to make a difference comes uniquely from within you and is updated and balanced constantly by what you sense. Life-changing insights that organically relax and transform decision making are at your finger-tips. You know more than you realize. Your heart knows where it wants to be. Check in with reality by way of noticing what you sense. Real reality is more intense than VR. The future is ours to create.

      Inspiration for Lucid Living comes from Marshall McLuhan’s philosophy about media and communication. Today, the way we reason and communicate is changing through our use of technology. Our thought evolution is a blend of wisdom and innovation.

      The tech driven change in global communication is driving us to think with both sides of our brain. Texting with two thumbs at the speed of thought is an example. It’s a subtle and powerful coordinated right/left side brain training that, like a gentle breeze, can become a tsunami.

      The symbol chosen to represent sensual thinking throughout Lucid Living is a dorje, the Tibetan symbol of a lightning bolt. In my experience with Zen meditation, the epiphany on the cushion is referred to as lightning enlightenment. Intuitive understanding for all of us is often this same sort of aha moment.

      My desire is that Lucid Living brings flashes of fresh insight and self-awareness that will renew hope, nourish wonder and sustain enthusiasm for a better Life and healthier world.

      I wish to thank Mary Kenner, my editor from RKedit, for her patient, reliable and thoughtful reading of my work. Bringing Lucid Living to completion was a team effort.

      With respect, Jane Bernard

      Introduction

      All the forces in the world are not so powerful

      as an idea whose time has come.

      Victor Hugo

      Lucid Living is a simple handbook with the tools you need to think differently by using your senses. We cannot train our mind with our mind. The way to train our mind is through the passion and drive of what we sense. Sensuality is our skill of savoring, integrating and taking Life to a higher level. By eating intuitively, you can organically train your brain. Using your five senses with intuitive tools is the delicious and efficient way to transition from sensing to sensuality.

      I am a philosopher and educator who naturally thinks outside the box. Working with children with learning issues taught me that the way to open and train our mind is through our instant ability to sense. What we sense creates inner synergy that our brain naturally responds to. Noticing what you sense organically focuses your brain and expands your mind.

      Synergy is when energies come together and a new unified energy is born—like making a baby—or what happens when red and blue blend to make purple. The synergy between our senses and our mind creates action. What we see, hear, taste, touch or smell guides how we reason because we must sense something before our mind can recognize it. Intuition balances what we sense with what we feel and what we know.

      For example,

      NO SYNERGY: You’re crossing the street and a car’s coming but you’re distracted by something on your mind, your eyes are glazed, looking inward.

      SYNERGY: You’re crossing the street and visually alert, your eyes signal your brain to flash danger and your heart immediately beats faster and your intuition steps in and balances what you sense (a car coming), with what you know from experience (dangerous) and what you feel (threatened) to create the action of stepping back.

      By using natural sensuality to feel with your mind, you think with the whole brain. Ever felt curious? Curiosity invites new ways of problem solving. Ever made a connection with dignity? The feeling of dignity—as a decision guide—is often the source of unexpected revenue streams. Organic intuitive tools are our natural access to passion, creativity, wisdom and purpose.

      My experience teaching people sensual thinking to lose weight, changed their lives unexpectedly. Self-image improved, relationships got easier and there was a new clarity about what mattered and how to achieve it. Insights into how emotional reactions interfere with real needs liberated people from years of habit. Life outlook opened. Weight management became an option. Sensual thinking is natural thought evolution.

      Everything in our world is changing. Noticing what we see, hear, taste, touch and smell keeps immediate options real and our thinking grounded. 21st Century thinking has special-effects and they are real. They don’t fit into any categories we have experienced before, but we sense them automatically. Navigating in sync with change, and between virtual reality and lucid living we need to go to the ultimate limit of who we are by using sensual thinking. Experiencing an intuitive nudge or gut feeling focuses us in the direction of personal excellence.

      Lucid living is being clear about who we are. Real life is the insane present that virtual reality is trying to perfect. Our senses keep us tuned to what’s real. We may not be able to stay clear about what’s happening tomorrow, but we can clearly be in-tune with personal values and priorities that bring excitement, security and peace of mind today.

      While technology is leaping forward, humane conditions around the world are deteriorating. These are
