Embodied Cognition Content Guidelines

This module explores learning through the lens of breath awareness, autonomic regulation, and the living body's continuous self-maintenance. Content must:

• Frame learning through the deepening of mindful awareness: the more one practices attending to the body, the more subtle the perceptions become.
• Connect to contemplative expertise: how long-term meditation practice transforms the practitioner's interoceptive sensitivity, emotional regulation, and attentional capacities.
• Reference neuroplasticity and contemplative neuroscience: how repeated mindful attention restructures the brain's processing of interoceptive signals.
• Present learning as the refinement of the generative model through repeated, attentive engagement with bodily experience.
• Integrate Active Inference: contemplative learning is the progressive reduction of prediction error in the interoceptive domain through sustained parameter updating.
• Activities should involve tracking changes in awareness over repeated practice sessions.

Ensure all content adheres to ../../resources/notation_table.md.
