There are many more aspects to perception than are available to our conscious minds. Psychological experiments have repeatedly shown that we are often not consciously aware of much of the information our brains are processing.
Some of these shards of perception, if brought to the conscious level, can make a huge difference to our everyday lives. The question then is how do we access this information. A recent trend in psychology has been towards the study of 'mindfulness', a kind of meditation aimed at focussing the mind on the present. Perhaps this technique can aid certain types of mental processes.
