Body Awareness

Quoted from my teacher/founder of the Institute of Neurosculpting®, “Research is showing that our capacity to be aware of our emotions and of our interior physical landscape (interoception) actually correlates to increased volume in the insula. The insula helps us determine and make meaning of the sensations we feel in the body like gut instinct, etc..”

So what is Insula:

Insula is also known as Insular Cortex. This amazing structure is situated in the folds of cortex in our brains which is the topmost layer of cerebrum, inside the sylvain fissure. Insula provides an emotional cognition to physiological experiences. 

Here some interesting functions of the Insular Cortex when we are thinking about the correlation of it to emotions and body awareness:

*Insula is responsible for addictive habits.

*Any damage to insula means difficulty in the perception and speaking of languages.

**In case the productivity of insula is hampered then there will be emotional imbalance. People with emotional imbalance do not know how to act properly in states of disgust, anger, joy and happiness.

*People who have damaged insula can be the victims of mental illness.

*Insula helps us enjoy the basic emotions ranging from happiness, joy, anger, and disgust. Without the help of insular cortex we won’t be able to experience these basic emotions.

*It is because of insula that you know how to react when your body is experiencing different emotions.

*It is because of insula that people have the awareness about their body and self.

*A healthy insula can help with how we not only interact with our bodies but also how we are with others.

So interesting don’t you think!

In Step 4 of the 5-Step Neurosculpting® Process is where the work comes in with this specific part of the brain, helping to increase the insula. By tapping the body or noticing the body, during this part of the meditation we become Aware of our Body and really notice what we are feeling and where. Do we notice a shift? And if we do, in that moment what is something we can do to remember this shift at a later date and time, so assist in creating a healthier way of being.

I would be happy to help increase your insula;) aka Body Awareness.
