Experiencing physical pain, exhaustion, chronic health conditions or symptom flare ups are no fun. But what if your sensations and symptoms are your body's way of taking care of you? Of sending your signals about what your body needs? In this episode I introduce and explore this simple yet profound idea. This episode explores

• The idea of pain, symptoms, and sensations are both messengers and ways our body tries to meet our needs and take care of us


• What common symptoms and sensations could mean from a somatic and emotional perspective


• Ways to connect with your body and ask your body what it needs
