Summary Introduction

Introduction

Kinesthesis is best described as the human body's ability to know the position and orientation of its various parts. For example, when walking, running, or dancing, it is not necessary to watch your own legs and feet. In fact, it is generally advisable not to. Kinesthesis allows the body to perform these motions naturally while the mind is occupied with matters such as navigating around the dance floor or deciding what to order for dinner.
