Awareness of the Physical Self

Many people in our modern lives are too remote from their bodily sensations. These individuals lack the necessary awareness of what is happening within and around them—how they feel, how they move, what steps are taken to keep themselves healthy. This can lead to physical health issues such as weight gain or loss; poor sleep patterns; inability to focus on work or other tasks at hand due to constant pain; exhaustion caused by stress-related headaches etcetera. Emotions become exacerbated when one lacks self-awareness with respect to this area of life which often leads one seeking out external means for relief.
