Chakras: Nutrition & Health

The interoceptive system is a network of sensory channels and processes distributed throughout the body, giving us the ability to perceive and understand internal physical experiences: Our general wellbeing, emotional stability and sense of self-awareness depend on it. The interoceptive system enables us to perceive and understand inner states such as thirst, hunger, breathing, temperature, pain, and emotional feelings.
By enabling us to be aware of inside sensations, the interoceptive system helps to maintain physical homeostasis and enables appropriate responses to physiological demands. It has an impact on our emotions, judgement, and overall sense of who we are and is crucial to the mind-body connection.
The interior organs, muscles, and tissues of the body communicate with the brain through interoception in order for it to analyse and interpret the information. The constant feedback loop that this sensory information provides us with allows us to keep track of and regulate our physiological status.
Numerous aspects of both physical and mental health have been linked to interoception. Interoceptive processing issues can have an effect on diseases like autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, chronic pain, and anxiety disorders. Those who have a good interoceptive system, on the other hand, usually exhibit enhanced emotional regulation, resilience, and general wellbeing.
