Morphology

feeling + of + movement

The meaning is directly compositional: 'feeling' (a sensation) + 'of' (linking) + 'movement' (motion) yields the perception or sensation of motion. This straightforward noun-of-noun construction is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Feeling of movement comes from the simple image of your body telling your brain when parts move: the feeling from muscles and joints shows the movement. So, it means knowing the 'position' of parts of your body and when they move, even when you are not looking.
