Hey Everyone,
I can't think of a lot of experiences in my life where I have experiences Synestheisa. The only think I can think of where I had two mingling senory experiences, is a particulat physical/sound experience. In other words my body reacts in a certain way when I hear certain songs and this happens to me all the time. As I have mentioned before I was a competitives cheerleader. This means that at a cheerleading competition for 2 minutes and 30 seconds I am in them midst of a cheerleading routine where I am flipping around one second, throwing a girl in the air the next second and dancing the next second. You only have 2 minutes and 30 seconds of pressure and uncertainty to impress the judges enough for them to give you a trophy. While you are on the mat in the routine you dont think, your body is simply guided through the motions as if it was hardwired into your brain. As your body is on this autopilot state another sense mingles in, counting numbers (because you are counting music). Now after my competitive cheerleading career is over, If i ever hear a song that was in a routine I have done my body automatically wants to recall the movements of that part of the cheerleading routine and the sensation of adernilin that happened at that time in the routine. When I hear the music my body returns to that autopiolit state. This happens the most with music that this happends with the most was played during a tough tumbling pass. When I was a junior I had a complicated tumbling pass where I had to complete 4 skills and land perfectly on the mat while making sure of my spatial body position to not fall out of bounds. At that piont in the music I just didnt think, I shut my eyes and went for the tumbling pass. To this day when I hear that song my body feels the urge to react and I feel the tumbling pass. I am not sure if this is Synethsia but that is the closest expereicne I can think of.
