增强身体意识已被描述为治疗方法的关键要素或作用机制，通常被归类为身心方法，例如瑜伽，太极，身体导向的心理治疗，身体意识治疗，基于正念的治疗/冥想，Feldenkrais，亚历山大方法，呼吸治疗和其他对各种健康状况具有报告益处的治疗方法。为了更好地理解身心疗法中身体意识的概念化，邀请这些方法的主要从业者和教学人员以及他们的患者参加焦点小组。这些焦点小组的定性分析与身体意识的做法，和他们的病人的观点，代表性的从业者，阐明了他们对身体意识的理解的共同点。对他们来说，身体意识是在行动中以及与环境和世界的互动中实现的具身自我意识的一个不可分割的方面。它是意识的体现作为一个天生的倾向，我们的有机体涌现的自我组织和整体。患者在这些治疗中经历的过程被视为身体和自我之间更大统一的进展，非常类似于一些哲学家描述的身体和自我辩证法的体现概念，被描述为在不同的发展水平上经历。
Enhancing body awareness has been described as a key element or a mechanism of action for therapeutic approaches often categorized as mind-body approaches, such as yoga, TaiChi, Body-Oriented Psychotherapy, Body Awareness Therapy, mindfulness based therapies/meditation, Feldenkrais, Alexander Method, Breath Therapy and others with reported benefits for a variety of health conditions. To better understand the conceptualization of body awareness in mind-body therapies, leading practitioners and teaching faculty of these approaches were invited as well as their patients to participate in focus groups. The qualitative analysis of these focus groups with representative practitioners of body awareness practices, and the perspectives of their patients, elucidated the common ground of their understanding of body awareness. For them body awareness is an inseparable aspect of embodied self awareness realized in action and interaction with the environment and world. It is the awareness of embodiment as an innate tendency of our organism for emergent self-organization and wholeness. The process that patients undergo in these therapies was seen as a progression towards greater unity between body and self, very similar to the conceptualization of embodiment as dialectic of body and self described by some philosophers as being experienced in distinct developmental levels.
