The Hidden Sense

The "hidden sense" refers to subtle, unconscious ways our bodies and brains gather information beyond the five basic senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell). It includes sensations like balance, body position (proprioception), and internal cues such as hunger or heartbeat. These senses help us navigate and respond to our environment without conscious effort. Essentially, they operate below awareness but are essential for coordination, stability, and overall body awareness, allowing us to move smoothly and function effectively in daily life.
