Somatic Observation is a methodological construct in body awareness research that involves the systematic, first-person monitoring and documentation of internal bodily sensations and movements as they occur, distinguishing itself from other observational methods by its focus on lived, embodied experience rather than externally observable behavior or physiological data.
