in one's seven senses
seven senses n. the combined faculties of sensation and perception; consciousness. Often in out of one's seven senses out of one's right mind; = out of one's senses at sense n. Phrases 2a(a); also in one's seven senses: in one's right mind.The seven senses are usually considered to comprise the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, plus an additional two faculties interpreted variously by different cultures at different times.In modern scientific use, the additional two senses are often considered as those of balance and body position; those of proprioception (considered to include balance) and nociception (the sensation of pain); or those of coenaesthesia and splanchnaesthesia (perception of the general state of the body and of its internal organs, respectively). [The ancient Greek medical writer Hippocrates describes seven senses using the expression δι᾽ ἑπτὰ σχημάτων καὶ αἱ αἰσθήσεις ανθρώπων ‘human perception through seven forms’. The 4th-cent. Latin author Ambrosius ( Cain et Abel 2. 9. 34) expands the traditional list of five senses to seven, though the expression septem sensus ‘seven senses’, is not found before a 16th-cent. author reporting Ambrosius.]
