Embodied self-awareness is the practice and science of our ability to feel our
movements, sensations, and emotions. As infants, before we can speak or
conceptualize, we learn to move toward what makes us feel good and away
from what makes us feel bad. Our ability to continue to develop and cultivate
awareness of such body-based feelings and understanding is essential for
learning how to successfully navigate in the physical and social world, as well
as for avoiding injury and stress. Embodied self-awareness is made possible
by neuromotor and neurohormonal pathways between the brain and the rest
of the body, pathways that serve the function of using information about body
state to maintain optimal health and well being. When these pathways become
compromised, primarily as a result of physical injury or psychological stress and
trauma, we lose our ability to monitor and regulate our basic body functions.
This book explains the neurological basis of embodied self-awareness, how to
enhance self-awareness, and how to regain it after injury or trauma.
