Bodily sensations

Bodily sensations are the signals your body sends to your brain that let you know what’s happening inside and around you. These include feelings like warmth, cold, pain, pressure, itching, hunger, or fullness. They result from nerves detecting changes and sending electrical signals to the brain, helping you interpret and respond appropriately—like pulling your hand away from something hot or feeling satisfaction after eating. These sensations are essential for awareness, safety, and overall well-being, functioning as your body's way of communicating its needs and states of health or discomfort.
