When I searched for positive first-person accounts of sensorimotor experience, AI did better than the humans. That is the triple irony — and it says something uncomfortable about what happens when perceptual capacity becomes tribal identity.
Most physical practice is oriented outward — what the practice looks like, what it accomplishes. The internal experience of doing the movement is rarely on the curriculum. This article describes the skill of attending inward, beginning with muscular sensation at rest, and how that sensitivity carries into every domain that depends on noticing what isn’t asking to be noticed.
Your capacity to act is bounded by your capacity to perceive. This article explores the perception gap in body awareness: why understanding a movement instruction is not the same as being able to act on it, and how sensory resolution develops through structured practice.
How one approaches a practice is a key to building a self-sufficient fallback tool to reset across any circumstance. The secret is to re-discover and develop the ability to tune in to what is appropriate across the randomness of life.
Drawing to me feels like measuring my body temperature. It is a process of sensing my present state, using a thermometer-like tool to probe and extract whatever comes out of it.
Most people have felt a localized sensation in an active muscle—something neutral, immediate, and not pain. The scientific literature has no name for it, and no established conceptual category for it either. This article explores why this perceptual phenomenon falls through the cracks of neuroscience, what its most plausible neural substrate is, and what becomes possible when it’s deliberately cultivated.
