The Language of the Body
Imagine your body could sit across from you and speak plainly. Medical intuition is the art of learning that language.
What medical intuition is (and isn’t)
It’s a way of perceiving patterns beneath symptoms—through sensation, imagery, and inner knowing. It is not diagnosis, fortune-telling, or a replacement for clinical care. It’s a complementary lens that helps you partner with your healing.
Three channels of intuitive information
Sensation: Tightness, warmth, heaviness, tingling.
Imagery: Colors, symbols, memories that “randomly” appear.
Knowing: A clear, neutral “I just know” that lacks urgency or drama.
The S.A.G.E. method (a simple at-home practice)
Settle: 60 seconds of 4–6 breathing; feel your sit bones and feet.
Ask: Place a hand where you feel off. “Body, what do you need me to know?”
Gracefully receive: Notice the first sensation, image, or word—don’t overthink.
Enlist support: Translate the message into one supportive action you can take in the next 24 hours (rest, a conversation, hydration, a boundary, a medical check-in).
Interpreting symbols without getting lost
Colors: Green may suggest repair/soothing; red can flag intensity/attention; blue often relates to voice/truth.
Places: Throat themes may involve expression; gut themes may involve trust/processing; knees may relate to flexibility.
Let these be starting points—not rigid rules. Always confirm with your felt sense: Does this land as true?
A mini guided practice (3 minutes)
Sit, breathe out longer than you breathe in.
Ask, “Where am I over-giving?” Notice where the body responds.
Ask, “What would balance look like today?” Take the smallest action that matches.
Medical intuition is less about “being psychic” and more about becoming present. When you listen with humility, your body often answers.
