Beyond sight and sound lies interoception, your brain’s ability to sense the body’s inner world.
It’s how you “just know” your heart’s racing or stomach’s uneasy.
When this sense dulls, anxiety and eating disorders emerge.
Mindfulness and body awareness retrain interoception, tuning the mind back into the body’s whispers.
What if the key to calmness lies in listening to your heartbeat?

Practising mindful can set your body rhythm to normal. It can bring calmness and stability in your mood.
Nice to know about a different perception
This reminds me of meditation — it feels just like meditating.
Interoception is an overlooked yet powerful doorway to emotional balance. When we learn to notice our heartbeat, breath, or tension with clarity, the mind becomes less reactive and more grounded. Strengthening this inner awareness through mindfulness can reduce anxiety, support healthier eating patterns, and deepen self-trust—calm often begins from within.
This is something so fascinating to know about. Worth explorable further!
Beautifully explained. Interoception is such an underrated dimension of human experience. Practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and slow movement truly help us tune back into the body’s signals rather than overriding them. Maybe the path to calmness isn’t adding more noise, but reconnecting with the rhythms inside us, starting with something as simple as our own heartbeat.
