Everyone talks about the "five" senses of man. And it’s true that we get our information about the outside world from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight--our visual--gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory(taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without, though they are very seldom given any credit for helping us to survive in this difficult world. These are the sense of balance, and the kinesthetic sense. The sense of balance, without which we would act like a drunk after a heavy bout with the bottle, is located in the inner ear. The inner ear contains three curved tubes (the semi-circular canals) tilted with liquids. The shifting of these liquids activates nerve endings in the linings of the canals and nerve impulses from these nerve endings help oar brains to keep us upright. The kinesthetic sense is actually made up of nerve impulses that arise from nerves planted in close contact with our muscles. These nerve messages are constantly telling us what position our limbs, trunk and head are in. They serve as a continuous "feed-back" system to help us know how to move our various parts, and when to held them still. Otherwise, we would lack the coordination to run, jump, dance the twist, or even sit still. Incidentally, the word "kinesthetic" comes from two Greek words meaning "motion" end "feeling." The kinesthetic sense gives us our ideas about our own motion. The kinesthetic sense is located in the ______.

Art is considered by many people to be little more than a decorative means of giving pleasure. This is not always the case, however, at times, art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sand paintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose. According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental or physical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with the supernatural--perhaps a certain animal, a ghost or the dead. To counteract this evil contact, one of his relatives will employ a medicine man called a "singer" to perform a healing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2 to 9 days, the "singer" will produce a sand-painting on the floor of the Navaho Hogan. On the last day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sand-painting and the "singer" will rub the ailing parts of the patient’s body with sand from a specific figure in the sand-painting. In this way the patent absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After the ceremony, the sand-painting is then destroyed and disposed of, so its power will not harm anyone. The art of sand-painting is handed dawn from old "singers" to their students. The materials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit; brown, red, yellow and white sandstone, which is pulverized by being crushed between 2 stones much as com is ground into flour. The "singer" holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb and forefingers onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand end great patience, he is thus able to create designs of stylized people, snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system, the traditional Navaho does not allow reproduction of sand-paintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this; however, such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico. These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft. The write probably feels that most art today ______.
