Body-based signals are internal physical sensations and cues (like a racing heart, butterflies, or hunger) that communicate your body’s needs, emotions, and well-being to your brain, a process called interoception, helping you navigate stress, safety, and basic functions like hunger, and are crucial for emotional awareness, resilience, and understanding unspoken feelings. These signals range from subtle (tight shoulders) to intense (panic), forming a vital, non-verbal communication system that, when understood, improves mental and physical health.
