What is Interoception? When you close your eyes and assess how the body feels, you are using interoception. Cultivating this sense helps us differentiate between emotional and physical states. Are we hungry or are we stressed? Both involve physical changes to the body. Perceiving and interpreting these physical changes in both cases involves interoception.
(The brain's reading of the body's state is key to mental health -Camilla Nord)
