4 What is SOMATIC AWARENESS?
5 Identifying the SELF as separate from the environment. Using sensations to identify psychological, physiological, and social factors to promote self-regulation.
6 Somatic Nervous System Part of the Peripheral Nervous System (outside the brain and spinal cord Responsible for collecting sensory information and directing it to the brain (Central Nervous System) Connects CNS to organs to initiate a VOLUNTARY response Leg muscles contract in order to RUN or KICK Reflexes that skip over voluntary response (knee-jerk response)
7 Brain receives input from our SENSES. Sends messages via AUTONOMIC Nervous System. The MIND interprets these messages, which continues or interrupts ANS response.
8 The Vagus Nerve The TENTH Cranial Nerve Longest Nerve in the Autonomic System (parasympathetic) Connects to organs Heart Brain and Gut Brain
9 80% of the information to the BRAIN comes from the SMALL INTESTINE via the VAGUS NERVE
