The sense of the inner body

The sense of the inner body is a person's feeling of belonging to their own body and existing within it. This is experiencing the body not as an object from outside but as a home lived from within; a person feels at home in their body. This feeling forms the bodily basis of the sense of self. When the sense of the inner body grows stronger, a person feels more rooted in themselves. Existing in one's body is often a quiet ground of being oneself.
