Mindful Monday Podcast: Connecting with Sensations

Published: March 25, 2021, 1 p.m.

Sensations are the language that our bodies speak. They constantly communicate our state of mind and body – telling us if we are angry, hungry, or tired. A sensation is a physical feeling in the body. Inner body sensation refers to the actual physical feeling that are created as the various systems of the body monitor and give feedback about inner states. Sensations are continually created in the body through movement such as fluids, breath and energy. They are intense and subtle body sensations called interoception. Paying attention to your body helps you to notice sensations and how they change.
