Interoception - the gold dust of our attention and intention

Interception refers to the sensory receptors that are involved with the body’s ability to sense and understand internal sensations so we can resond to our physical and emotional needs

our internal awareness - feeling full / needing to take a deep breath

our bodily signals - recognise physical states of our health and emotional well being - anxious / tired / hungry / excited

our inward, internal environment - on a superficial and visceral level

gives ‘light’ to how we feel on the inside

our emotional connection - what it feels like to feel feelings / what does it feel like to be you

how you see yourself - self recognition

your physiological integrity, am i full? or am i hungry? am i cold?

it is the gold dust of our attention and intention

*** if we didn’t have interoceptors then we wouldn’t be able to have a sense of who we are so we wouldn’t be able to nuture ourselves, we would have significant challenges in our awareness, our self regulation and well being
