Interoception Drawing Exercises

Description

Drawing can be a way of paying attention to what your body is telling you. This mini-course introduces interoception, the sense of your body’s internal state, and then gives each lesson a different signal to draw.

You map physical sensations on the body, track emotions through colour and shape, and draw your breathing and heartbeat. Later lessons cover temperature, hunger and fullness, and pain and discomfort. The final two lessons bring the work together in an interoception journal and a personal visual language. Exercises in the PDFs give you a drawing task for each topic.

Who it is for: adults who want to build body awareness through simple drawing, with no art training needed.
