Proprioception is the sense of your body's position, movement, and orientation in space. Unlike interoception (internal state), proprioception tells you where your limbs are, how they're moving, and your relationship to gravity — without looking.
Receptors
- •Muscle spindles — detect muscle length and stretch
- •Golgi tendon organs — detect muscle tension
- •Joint receptors — detect joint angle and position
- •Vestibular system — head position and movement
In ONDA Life
Part 4 develops proprioception as "a sense of trajectory and the boundaries of one's ‘safety bubble.’" Combined with vestibular precision and diffuse perception, it enables maneuverability — feeling the trajectory and flowing through it.
