David writes: I'm confused. Sensation: awareness due to stimulation
of a sense organ. Perception:awareness of the elements of
environment
through physical sensation. (both defnitions taken from
Merriam-Webster) They both seem to indicate the same thing -
awareness through the senses.
Also, even if the two were different, my post still refers to the
sensation of gravity on other parts of the body - the shoulders
pressing down into the torso, etc)
I guess it's all in how you perceive it :o)
