Understanding Your Emotions Through Body Awareness

🌀 How to Calm Your Body When You Don’t Know What You’re Feeling

We’ve all been there—feeling “off” but unable to explain why. Maybe your chest feels tight, or your stomach churns, or you just can’t focus. This isn’t just in your head—it’s your body’s way of telling you something.

In Holistic Vagus Nerve Reset, I teach a powerful truth:

Your body often knows before your mind catches up.

When we pause to listen, we create space to process our emotions. We soothe our nervous system. We return to a state of inner safety.

💡 A Simple Teaching: Emotions Live in the Body

Your nervous system stores stress and emotions in physical sensations. These manifest as tension in your jaw, fluttering in your belly, or heaviness in your heart.

Trying to “think your way” through it can keep you stuck in a loop. But when you tune into your body’s wisdom, you begin to release what’s stuck.

🖐🏼 Practice: The Emotional Body Check-In

This 3-minute tool helps you slow down, name what’s present, and reset.

1. Pause and gently close your eyes (if it feels safe). Take one slow breath.
2. Notice your body:
   • Where do you feel tight, heavy, numb, or unsettled?
   • Is it warm or cold, still or tense?
3. Name the emotion or sensation (without judgment). You can use phrases like:
   • “There’s tightness in my chest.”
   • “I notice a lump in my throat.”
   • “It feels like sadness, or maybe loneliness.”
4. Breathe into that space and say: “This is allowed to be here. I am safe to feel.”

Even just naming the sensation gives your nervous system a chance to soften. This simple act of presence rewires your response to stress.
