Episode 30
I am a firm believer that physical health is mental health. When we listen to the physical symptoms and sensations of our body it directly improves and affects our mental well-being! In today’s episode I walk through a short practice you can do at home to help improve your interoceptive awareness (or your ability to notice sensation from the inside of your body.) Validating our own symptoms and listening to their wisdom is very important and I share a few studies that back this up. Enjoy!
