Our body is constantly telling us things, through feelings, pain, emotions, etc. It’s a network of information trying to get you to understand and listen to it. 

And honestly, it’s pretty amazing. 

As a massage therapist & yoga specialist, I see these things manifest in different people all across the board. Yet, often times, the story behind what’s manifesting has a common factor. 

How emotions may manifest in the body:

Headaches – Overwhelmed.

Sore neck – stubbornness and/or inflexibility.

Muslce tension – suppressed emotions.

Dizziness – frustration or irritability.

Restlessness – lack of certainty.

Digestive issues – overthinking and/or excessive worry. 

When needs go unmet, they can manifest in other ways. 

Let’s look at what you may feel vs what that may be signaling you need…

Anxious – you may need to feel more safety, security, & stability

Resentful – you may need to feel heard, understood, or noticed

Numb – you may need to feel supported, safe, loved

Overwhelmed – you may need to have space, support, “me time”

Disconnected – you may need to feel noticed, loved, prioritized

Distrustful – you may need to have honesty, openness, loyalty

Stressed – you may need to prioritize yourself & self-care

Learning to listen to our body and understand what it’s trying to communicate to you is a huge part of self-care and awareness. The more aware of yourself you become, the easier it becomes to consistently take care of yourself and show up as the best version of yourself.
