Somatic Intelligence

Meaning

Somatic Intelligence refers to the inherent, adaptive capacity of the body’s non-cognitive systems, including the immune, endocrine, and autonomic nervous systems, to perceive, interpret, and respond optimally to internal and external environmental signals. This clinical concept emphasizes the body’s innate self-regulatory wisdom and its ability to maintain homeostasis and execute complex repair mechanisms without conscious thought. It is a measure of the systemic resilience and coordinated functional integrity of the organism.
