Synesthesia

I wrote this all for you to understand the way of synesthesia.
When you see an abstract painting you don't see the colors, you hear the orchestra. The blue violins wash over you, and the orange of the cello fill your ears.
As you listen to music, open up all your senses to it. Imagine that your skin is feeling the texture of each note as the music flows through you. Your nose is smelling the flavor of the music, and your mouth is drinking in the tone. While you do this visualize colors swirling around you in brilliant hues as the music is played. Let the music sweep through all of your senses. Use your powers of being kinesthetic and move your hands and body if you want to.
If you can't remember, write down what each note smells, tastes and feels like in emotional way. In this way, your body can fuse the senses together for the right brain's musical experience. With practice, the synesthetic way of listening to music will eventually take you over.
To practice you can play different notes on an instrument and interpret if each note resembles sweet, bitter, sour or tangy.
In the future when you're eating something, don't remember what it tasted like, that part is useless. Instead remember where you are, the things you were looking at and listening to.
After you have worked with this a while, the synesthesia way of listening, tasting, hearing, and even seeing things will come into your life and make everything way more enjoyable.
