大脑中有一个很小的区域,叫做岛叶皮质(insular cortex),
它在我们如何感受身体方面,扮演着非常重要的角色。
它帮助大脑解读与以下内容相关的讯号:
• 疼痛
• 温度
• 内脏感觉
• 情绪状态
• 身体觉察
换句话说,它是大脑中一个关键的中心,
负责理解身体从内部传来的各种感觉。
研究触觉、动作以及身体觉察的科学家,
常常会特别关注这个区域,
因为它帮助把感官讯号转化为我们能够意识到的体验。
Bowen 疗法通过温和而精准的动作,
为神经系统提供细微的感官输入。
虽然目前的科学研究并没有明确证明
Bowen 可以“直接作用”于岛叶皮质,
但所有涉及触觉的疗法,
都属于大脑与身体如何相互沟通这一更广泛研究的一部分。
因为——
神经系统一直在聆听。
A small region of the brain called the insular cortex plays a remarkable role in how we experience the body.
It helps interpret signals related to:
• pain
• temperature
• internal organs
• emotional states
• body awareness
In other words, it’s one of the brain’s key centres for understanding how the body feels from the inside.
Researchers studying touch, movement and body awareness often look at this region because it helps translate sensory signals into conscious experience.
Bowen Therapy works through gentle, specific movements that provide subtle sensory input to the nervous system.
While science has not specifically demonstrated that Bowen “targets” the insula, therapies involving touch are part of the broader conversation about how the brain and body communicate.
Because the nervous system is always listening.
