The general bodily sensation of existing and awareness of your body as a unified whole, distinct from specific sensations.
From Greek 'koinos' (common) and 'aesthesis' (sensation/perception). This term describes the baseline conscious awareness of being embodied.
Meditation practices often try to heighten cenesthesis—that interconnected awareness of your entire body's existence—which is why 'body scans' in yoga help you feel more present and grounded!
