Learn Your Body’s Language

Your body is talking. You don’t have to understand it yet.

Hypothesis

Bodily sensations carry information — but the sensation itself doesn’t automatically tell you what it means.

Duration

2–3 minutes

The framing

Think of your body like a language you haven’t learned yet.

At first, you might only notice fragments: a tight chest. A clenched jaw. Butterflies. A heavy feeling. Heat. Restlessness.

You don’t have to know what any of it means.

The experiment is simply to start noticing.
