Sensation Awareness

HERO Sensation Awareness Practice

This 13-minute guided somatic experience is rooted in neuroscience and trauma-informed embodiment work. It’s designed to activate interoception—your brain’s ability to perceive internal bodily signals like heartbeat, breath, and temperature.

When you bring attention to sensation, you’re engaging the insular cortex and strengthening the vagus nerve, which plays a central role in regulating your parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest state). This helps lower stress hormones like cortisol, increases emotional regulation, and enhances resilience
