Controlling senses

kokiie

Hey guys,

I need materials on controlling the 5 senses (sight, hear, smell, taste, touch).
Anything would be useful - writings, stories, videos, verses, hymns, an exerpt from a book, etc.

I've thought of the story of Simeon the shoe-maker, but not much else.
Any help would be GREATLYY APPRECIATED!

+ God Bless

the only book I know about that topic is practical spirituality by fr athanasious iskander but I have not read all of the book.
There is some parts from the book life of repentance and purity on this topic.. also possibly sayings of the desert fathers collections from certain fasts

Unseen Warfare is a most excellent and Orthodox guide to the spiritual life and discusses such things.

As does the Conferences of St John Cassian, which describe his conversations with the Desert monastics.
