Interoception: the sense you didn’t know you had.
It’s your brain’s ability to detect internal signals, heart rate, tension, breath, gut sensations, and turn them into conscious feeling. Stronger interoceptive awareness is linked to better emotional regulation and faster stress recovery.
The insula processes these signals. But the signal has to reach it first.
Fascia is packed with mechanoreceptors feeding sensory data to the brain. When it’s chronically tight, that signal gets distorted, and your ability to sense yourself drops.
Release isn’t just physical relief. It reopens the channel your nervous system uses to read you.
Breathwork and mindful movement help restore that connection.
