I think that is something of a Four thing... also, to the extent that a Four is an NF or NT (intuitive-- in the Myers-Briggs scheme), the realm of S (sensate) is something appealing and mysterious.
This is really interesting to me. For the intuitive, sensate things tend to be magical and mysterious-- keeping the house really clean effortlessly, gardening, keeping clothes neat, ironed, with buttons on them. For the sensate, the realm of the intuitive is magical and mysterious-- being able to write a poem out of nothing, seeing and feeling the tension in a situation, deep empathy for someone.
Jung said that in the second half of life, you should try to develop the other side of yourself. Therefore, for you, venturing into the sensate realm would be good-- massage (learning massage, that is), yoga, dance, gardening, some kind of sport-- things that focus on the body. Learning massage is a great combo of sensate and intuitive because you really use your intuition to guide your hands. Just some thoughts.
Wanting to be transcend the physical and be valued for your inner self... but where does your inner self end and your body begin? Can you identify that? Your body and mind are pretty much one and inseparable. I think you'd love Mark Epstein's book, "Open to Desire"- http://www.amazon.com/Open-Desire-Truth-...92737165&sr=8-4
Devaluing the physical is going to get you into trouble (makes you sound like a Catholic more than a Jew! Have you read "Kosher Sex"?)
