Proprioception

(see also autopoiesis, senseness, and other key terms)

• Proprioception is the sense that enables the body to perceive the location, movement, and action of its own parts. 
• It is what enables us to be able to touch our nose with our eyes closed (i.e. without using a mirror).
• It exists as a complex set of internally coordinated sensations
  • (e.g. awareness of joint positions, movements, muscle force, effort).
