Your body speaks a language you may have forgotten how to understand. What if those mysterious chronic symptoms aren't just physical malfunctions but messages waiting to be decoded?
The connection between our emotional states and physical symptoms runs deeper than most conventional approaches acknowledge. Just as we wouldn't respond well to an angry friend by dismissing their feelings, our bodies don't respond well when we fight against, resist, or try to silence their communications through pain and discomfort.
When physical symptoms persist despite our best efforts to address them through diet, supplements, or medications, it's time to look deeper. Those gut issues, migraines, fatigue, and unexplained pains often have roots in past trauma, emotional stress, or toxic relationships that have become physiologically encoded in our bodies. The psychosomatic connection isn't about dismissing symptoms as "all in your head" – it's about recognizing how our minds and bodies form complex associations that require a different healing approach.
Learning to listen to your body begins with something deceptively simple: looking at your symptoms without resistance. By creating space to observe rather than immediately trying to make discomfort disappear, you begin the process of decoding what your body is trying to tell you. Techniques like identifying when symptoms first appeared, practicing mindful attention to affected areas, and using the ancient "laying on of hands" approach can gradually restore communication between fragmented aspects of your bodily awareness.
Your body isn't broken – it's speaking a language that may require patience to understand. The insights gained through this process often extend far beyond symptom relief, leading to profound healing on multiple levels. Listen to your intuition about mind-body connections, and discover what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Innate
Ability and Health Podcast.
I'm your host, ryan Kimball,and today we're going to be
going over a very interestingand important topic for anyone
who is experiencing non-optimalphysical symptoms and trying to
do something about them.
That is as effective as itpossibly can be.
(00:20):
It's also great for justimproving your state of health
and taking it to the next level.
So, wherever you're at, listen,this will give you some good
tips and pointers.
I call this the body's forgottenlanguage or misunderstood
language, and I specifically goover how to decode symptoms and
then turn those into a healingopportunity.
(00:42):
So, to clarify, when you'retalking with someone and they
are upset, they respond to youin an angry manner or they may
say things that they don'treally mean because at the time
they are angry, they're in acertain emotional state.
That can be true of a goodfriend, someone you don't know,
of a loved one.
It can be true of pretty muchanyone.
(01:03):
It can be true of yourself.
We can all think of times whenwe were angry and we said
something that we didn't mean,or we said something that was
hurtful or whatever, and any ofthe other emotional states can
have certain types of thingsthat are said when a person is
in that emotional state, when aperson has had a really bad time
for an extended period of time,they may feel apathetic, they
(01:24):
may feel like nothing's going towork.
So you may talk to them andthey may give you responses to
really good news.
That's not what you wouldexpect.
Or you tell them that you justgot a great job and they
actually respond in a way thatthey're maybe jealous or upset
that they're in their conditionand you're in yours.
Right, and, depending on yourlevel of communication with this
(01:45):
person, that may result in somenon-optimal relationship
situations.
So take that idea and apply itto your body.
Your body is a living organism.
It's not an inanimate object byany means right, and it has
different emotional states thatresult in different types of
(02:06):
communication.
Now your body may or may not beable to give you the correct
communication, depending onwhere it's at emotionally.
So let's say you've had achronic situation going on with
your health for many years.
Your body may be in a state ofanger or apathy or grief, and
(02:27):
that contributes to the symptomsthat it expresses.
People often become moresymptomatic or cyclically
symptomatic, and this is usuallyassociated with certain things
like for women, maybe theircycle, or people in general,
maybe the the environment, thetime of year, seasonal
situations.
But while those things are trueand I'm not saying in any way
(02:51):
and I always mention this thatthe physical aspects aren't real
or it's just in your head Iwill say that it's usually
completely missed the mental andemotional parts of this.
So if your body has been undera lot of stress physically, not
doing well, havinggastrointestinal issues, etc.
It's probably at best in anangry state.
(03:13):
Possibly it's really upset andin a griefy state.
It may even be in an apatheticstate, not thinking anything is
going to get better.
And we want to acknowledge thatand understand that when we're
getting other symptoms, whenwe're experiencing something, if
you're experiencing, forexample, gastrointestinal issues
, and instead of resisting andfighting them and thinking
(03:36):
they're the worst thing, we haveto change our viewpoint and
start to listen and understandwhere this might be coming from
on a mental and emotional level.
Let's imagine your best friendcomes up to you and says really
angrily that they're upset aboutsomething you did and they
don't want to hear it.
They want to hear any of yourexcuses.
(03:57):
It totally wasn't okay.
You shouldn't have borrowed thecar without asking or whatever
it was right.
Well, if they're a really goodfriend, you're probably going to
listen and understand and tryto resolve the situation, and
maybe even if they're not,hopefully.
But imagine if you didn't dothat.
Imagine if you just immediatelygot mad at them and started
telling them that you weren'tokay with them acting this way.
Their communication was notwelcome or accepted and accepted
(04:20):
, you weren't going to haveanything to do with them either.
Obviously, that would justfoment the situation and things
would get worse.
It's the same thing on aphysical level with your
interaction with the body.
Usually when this is pointedout to people, they get it
immediately.
But if it doesn't make sense,try to think of examples and how
it could be that way or why itmight be that way for yourself.
Long story short here you startinteracting with your body and
(04:43):
paying attention to it andfiguring out the underlying
mental and physical traumathat's related to why that was
so upsetting or why that body'shaving so much trouble.
You will get more results andyou may or may not get those
results if you just payattention to the physical
aspects of it.
Oh, gastrointestinal issues.
I'm going to take moreprobiotics, more prebiotics I'm
going to clean up my diet.
(05:03):
Great, you should do all ofthose things.
But what happened when you wereseven?
That really upset you and eversince then you've had kind of
terror stomach when similaroccurrences happen.
For example, maybe when youwere seven your dog fell in the
lake and almost drowned and itwas really upsetting to you, and
at the same time you ate sometainted food.
So now tainted food associatedwith that trauma and they kind
(05:25):
of lock up and the next thingyou know you're having chronic
gut issues your entire rest ofyour life, or maybe
progressively, maybe it doesn'teven turn on until you're in
your 20s or something that canhappen too.
The point is, trauma can be tiedup with physical incidents
which then cause you to havepsychosomatic illnesses later in
life, and if you don't startlooking at it and figuring that
out, you're just going to end upwith non-optimal results
(05:47):
forever.
Of course nobody wants that.
So I just wanted to point thatout how this works a little bit
so you can understand it.
Okay, what are symptoms reallysaying?
So let's imagine a person has aset of symptoms.
Maybe they have chronic fatigue, they have gut issues, they
feel anxiety, they get migraines, sometimes hormonalonal swings
and they have aches and painsfor no apparent reason not an
uncommon profile for a lot ofthe people that I work with.
(06:10):
Anyways, a lot of people willbe very much resisting the
chronic fatigue.
They'll be hating the fact thatthey don't have any energy and
can't get things done in life,and often that dissatisfaction
with what's going on with themphysically turns into
dissatisfaction with themselves,and that's when this compounds
really badly.
So next thing is the gut issues.
(06:30):
Maybe they get really upsetabout the way they have to eat
and how strict it is, and thisagain brings them, as a person,
down into lower emotional states.
Maybe they're angry about it,maybe they're upset about it,
they feel grief, or maybethey're just apathetic about it.
Right, and then migraines.
This again, person can feel andresist the migraines and not
(06:51):
like them, and so on.
We can go down the whole listthere.
Right, what you've got to do isstart looking at these things as
communications from a goodfriend that something is wrong
and dig underneath them whileyou're experiencing them.
And it is a challenge to do,but it can be done and there are
methods.
I'm going to go over for doingthis later on in this podcast
(07:14):
episode, which which will getyou started.
They're by no means thecomplete solution, but often
these physical symptoms,especially if they don't resolve
pretty much immediately or inan expected amount of time from
the physical handlings, havetrauma, emotion, stress, toxic
personalities tied in with themand until you break that
(07:35):
hardwired in factor then you'renot going to get the results you
want to, or not as good asyou'd like to or should.
So let's say you had a reallytoxic personality in your life
who you had a relationship with,and every time you ate they
talked to you about your bodycomposition and whether you were
overweight or not and whetherthat food was healthy for you or
(07:56):
not, and you developed, likecomplex, a mental anxiety about
what you're eating due to thefact that somebody kept talking
to you about that toxicpersonality.
That person who didn't haveyour best interests at heart,
kept talking to you about yourfood.
Now most people go, okay, good,yeah, but I've run that and
I've looked at that and I stillhave gut issues.
Okay, that's where you're notreally getting to the root of it
(08:18):
.
So just like we have root causephysical aspects to what we
need to do on our health journey, there are root cause mental
and emotional aspects, and themind and your emotions are not
simple.
If anything, they're even morecomplex than what's going on in
your body.
So you may have had that toxicpersonality, but you haven't
realized or looked at or figuredout is that it's attached to
(08:42):
three other people in your lifethat you had.
Maybe they weren't toxicpersonalities, maybe they were
good people, but you had run-inswith them.
Or it's also attached to atrauma incident you had when you
lost something when you wereyoung, or lost someone when you
were young or not so young, andthat's now tied in there too.
And until you unwrap and getrid of all the different things
(09:02):
that are underlying that symptom, that physical condition,
you're not gonna get the resultyou're looking for Now.
It is intricate and there aremany parts to it, but it's not
hard to do.
You just have to know how to doit right.
The spine is delicate andintricate, but a chiropractor
knows how to adjust it and makeeverything go back into place.
So you again have restoredcommunication in the nervous
(09:24):
system right, and this then inturn gives you more energy and
can provide all sorts ofbenefits.
Same thing on the mental,emotional level you have how the
mind works in order toassociate things, and its
ability to not associate thingsthat should not be associated
allows you to have a healthystate of mind and a healthy body
(09:44):
and a successful, happy life.
This is a new way to look atyour symptoms.
Instead of how do I make thisgo away?
What is my body trying to tellme?
What is my body trying to showme?
And look at just the simple actand now we're getting into what
we do just the simple act oflooking at the pain that you're
experiencing in your body and orlooking at the non-optimal
(10:08):
physical condition you'reexperiencing in the body.
Just looking at that notresisting it, not feeling like
it's something you have tohandle, but just looking at it
will allow you to begin tocreate the space in which you
can address and understand whatis going on with your body.
You first have to look.
The first step is looking.
(10:28):
Now.
That may sound simple or thatmay sound like something you
already do, but if you alreadydid it successfully, then you
would not have the conditionthat's associated with that
symptom on the mental, emotionallevel, right?
So you also have to be willingto not know all about this and
learn how to use thesetechniques and then apply them.
I get so many people who say, ohyeah, that sounds like therapy
(10:49):
to me.
Well, it may have similaritiesin there.
This is part of the reason youhaven't successfully handled the
underlying symptoms.
You think something's similarto something when it's not.
And this was where it also getstricky, because as soon as you
go into, well, I think that thisis the way it works.
Remember, if what you're doingisn't getting the results, or
you've done therapy and workedthrough that, but I still have
(11:12):
the symptoms, you haven't donethe right handlings.
Therapy addresses things in acertain way to allow people to
move on in life, and usuallythat's it.
There is a lack of informationon how to get rid of the
psychosomatic aspect.
That's why I am a psychosomatichealer.
In handling the psychosomaticaspect, it usually also resolves
(11:33):
the life aspect of it as well,but the two of them are not
necessarily always addressed inthe same way.
So that's the first thing.
Now the other thing is, whileyou're looking at, let's say,
you have a pain in the stomachand gastrointestinal issues, and
you just start noticing it andpaying attention to it and
looking at it and being willingto be there with it, not
(11:54):
resisting it.
I want you, at the same time,to admire it, because if your
body's giving you pain, it'sstill communicating.
Think of a person If they areyelling at you and they're angry
no-transcript.
(12:28):
If you're experiencing symptoms, then your body's still
fighting.
You need to admire that andacknowledge that and be willing
to fight with it and experiencewhat it's experiencing.
When you do that, then you'reon your way towards
understanding what's going onand getting to the root cause of
it.
I have a very specific approachthat I use for this.
That requires some buildup, butbasically by looking at these
(12:52):
symptoms and then finding outwhen they started.
So let's say we're talkingabout the stomach here.
We have stomach pains going on.
I really don't have stomachpains going on at all, but I'm
just using this as an example.
So let's say I have stomachpains and I can go okay, three
years ago these stomach painsstarted.
What happened three years ago?
Now?
This will not get you to theroot cause, but it may get you
(13:15):
to what triggered it.
And sometimes, if you can justrecall what triggered it, don't
overanalyze it, don't go oh,that was because of blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, no-transcript.
(13:52):
Moment that you're in and again, admire the what's going on
with your stomach and try to notresist it.
And the last piece this is veryimportant.
This is where you administer alaying on of hands.
Now, this is a tool that's beenused for millennia.
This goes way, way back, wherea healer of some sort would come
(14:12):
in and they would lay theirhands on the area that was
affected and by doing this invarious ways, they actually help
the body heal and come fullcircle to modern times.
We understand that this isallowing your body, and you and
parts of your body, to be backin communication.
And when we say incommunication, we mean
circulation is happening.
Blood is going back into thatarea.
(14:34):
When pain turns on in an area, Ithink we all know that your
body can sometimes turn offcirculation into that area as a
protective mechanism.
So we want to restorecirculation into that area.
So all you want to do is putyour hand wherever that is and
put your attention on your hand,and that's all you do.
You put your attention on yourhand.
So if it were your stomach, youcan't see this, but I'm putting
(14:57):
my hand over my belly button,putting my attention on my hand,
putting my attention on my hand, and you want to get the
concept of looking down throughyour body and noticing your hand
, putting your attention on yourhand there, so you're getting
that full communication.
You don't just do it in the samespot over and over again.
You know, the most you'd wantto do the same spot is three
times in a row unless, as you'redoing the same spot, you notice
(15:18):
something.
Turn on, like if you feel apain, turn on as you touch the
same spot with your hand orlaying your hand over that spot.
Then you would do that againand again until that pain
lessened a little bit and thenyou'd move to another spot.
You keep moving to differentspots and these usually the
results of this will not bedramatic in one session.
This is something that you woulddo over a long period of time.
(15:39):
So I just went over a littledrill there.
We're looking at whatever'sgoing on with the body.
We're not resisting it, we'rebeing willing to be in the same
space as that.
We're flowing at someadmiration and then we're going
to try to figure out when wasthe first time that occurred and
recall what might have beengoing on at that time.
Don't worry if you're nottotally certain or whatever.
Just do your best, come back tothe moment and put your hand
(16:02):
over that spot, put yourattention on your hand and do
that, and you can do this forfive, ten minutes daily.
Right, you wouldn't necessarilydo the recall part of it every
day.
What you would do on a dailybasis would be to put your
attention on wherever that'shappening the pain and flow,
some admiration in there and putyour communication into that
area, basically, and then putyour hand on that area and this
(16:25):
very simple technique.
You can use this regularly.
It will improve healing and itwill improve your ability to
communicate with your body andbe in a good space with it.
Now, this is not going to getyou to the root cause of what's
going on psychosomatically, butit's a step in the right
direction.
It's a step and these are toolsthat you can use in your
(16:46):
day-to-day that will give yousome relief and start putting
you in a position where you'rereally able to heal from past
trauma, stress, toxicpersonalities, you name it.
So if you have been strugglingwith unexplained symptoms and
you feel there's a psychosomaticconnection, there's past stress
, trauma, toxic personalitiesthat you have attention on or
(17:07):
maybe have a feeling that thismay be connected, that's your
own knowingness and you are ableto know these things.
This is an area that is notunderstood that well in common
practice, so that's why I feltso passionate about sharing this
with you and with others, sothat you start to understand it.
And none of this information Icame up with on my own.
(17:27):
I have learned it and learnedhow to apply it, and I can go
over that with you as well, butthat's another conversation for
another episode.
So remember, you're not broken.
Your body's trying tocommunicate with you.
Listen to it, learn to listento it and you will start getting
gains that you may not haveexpected or known were even
possible.
(17:48):
Until the next episode go out,make it a great rest of your day
, enjoy yourself and thank youfor listening.

simple.
If anything, they're even morecomplex than what's going on in
your body.
So you may have had that toxicpersonality, but you haven't
realized or looked at or figuredout is that it's attached to
(08:42):
three other people in your lifethat you had.
Maybe they weren't toxicpersonalities, maybe they were
good people, but you had run-inswith them.
Or it's also attached to atrauma incident you had when you
lost something when you wereyoung, or lost someone when you
were young or not so young, andthat's now tied in there too.
And until you unwrap and getrid of all the different things
(09:02):
that are underlying that symptom, that physical condition,
you're not gonna get the resultyou're looking for Now.
It is intricate and there aremany parts to it, but it's not
hard to do.
You just have to know how to doit right.
The spine is delicate andintricate, but a chiropractor
knows how to adjust it and makeeverything go back into place.
So you again have restoredcommunication in the nervous
(09:24):
system right, and this then inturn gives you more energy and
can provide all sorts ofbenefits.
Same thing on the mental,emotional level you have how the
mind works in order toassociate things, and its
ability to not associate thingsthat should not be associated
allows you to have a healthystate of mind and a healthy body
(09:44):
and a successful, happy life.
This is a new way to look atyour symptoms.
Instead of how do I make thisgo away?
What is my body trying to tellme?
What is my body trying to showme?
And look at just the simple actand now we're getting into what
we do just the simple act oflooking at the pain that you're
experiencing in your body and orlooking at the non-optimal
(10:08):
physical condition you'reexperiencing in the body.
Just looking at that notresisting it, not feeling like
it's something you have tohandle, but just looking at it
will allow you to begin tocreate the space in which you
can address and understand whatis going on with your body.
You first have to look.
The first step is looking.
(10:28):
Now.
That may sound simple or thatmay sound like something you
already do, but if you alreadydid it successfully, then you
would not have the conditionthat's associated with that
symptom on the mental, emotionallevel, right?
So you also have to be willingto not know all about this and
learn how to use thesetechniques and then apply them.
I get so many people who say, ohyeah, that sounds like therapy
(10:49):
to me.
Well, it may have similaritiesin there.
This is part of the reason youhaven't successfully handled the
underlying symptoms.
You think something's similarto something when it's not.
And this was where it also getstricky, because as soon as you
go into, well, I think that thisis the way it works.
Remember, if what you're doingisn't getting the results, or
you've done therapy and workedthrough that, but I still have
(11:12):
the symptoms, you haven't donethe right handlings.
Therapy addresses things in acertain way to allow people to
move on in life, and usuallythat's it.
There is a lack of informationon how to get rid of the
psychosomatic aspect.
That's why I am a psychosomatichealer.
In handling the psychosomaticaspect, it usually also resolves
(11:33):
the life aspect of it as well,but the two of them are not
necessarily always addressed inthe same way.
So that's the first thing.
Now the other thing is, whileyou're looking at, let's say,
you have a pain in the stomachand gastrointestinal issues, and
you just start noticing it andpaying attention to it and
looking at it and being willingto be there with it, not
(11:54):
resisting it.
I want you, at the same time,to admire it, because if your
body's giving you pain, it'sstill communicating.
Think of a person If they areyelling at you and they're angry
no-transcript.
(12:28):
If you're experiencing symptoms, then your body's still
fighting.
You need to admire that andacknowledge that and be willing
to fight with it and experiencewhat it's experiencing.
When you do that, then you'reon your way towards
understanding what's going onand getting to the root cause of
it.
I have a very specific approachthat I use for this.
That requires some buildup, butbasically by looking at these
(12:52):
symptoms and then finding outwhen they started.
So let's say we're talkingabout the stomach here.
We have stomach pains going on.
I really don't have stomachpains going on at all, but I'm
just using this as an example.
So let's say I have stomachpains and I can go okay, three
years ago these stomach painsstarted.
What happened three years ago?
Now?
This will not get you to theroot cause, but it may get you
(13:15):
to what triggered it.
And sometimes, if you can justrecall what triggered it, don't
overanalyze it, don't go oh,that was because of blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, no-transcript.
(13:52):
Moment that you're in and again, admire the what's going on
with your stomach and try to notresist it.
And the last piece this is veryimportant.
This is where you administer alaying on of hands.
Now, this is a tool that's beenused for millennia.
This goes way, way back, wherea healer of some sort would come
(14:12):
in and they would lay theirhands on the area that was
affected and by doing this invarious ways, they actually help
the body heal and come fullcircle to modern times.
We understand that this isallowing your body, and you and
parts of your body, to be backin communication.
And when we say incommunication, we mean
circulation is happening.
Blood is going back into thatarea.
(14:34):
When pain turns on in an area, Ithink we all know that your
body can sometimes turn offcirculation into that area as a
protective mechanism.
So we want to restorecirculation into that area.
So all you want to do is putyour hand wherever that is and
put your attention on your hand,and that's all you do.
You put your attention on yourhand.
So if it were your stomach, youcan't see this, but I'm putting
(14:57):
my hand over my belly button,putting my attention on my hand,
putting my attention on my hand, and you want to get the
concept of looking down throughyour body and noticing your hand
, putting your attention on yourhand there, so you're getting
that full communication.
You don't just do it in the samespot over and over again.
You know, the most you'd wantto do the same spot is three
times in a row unless, as you'redoing the same spot, you notice
(15:18):
something.
Turn on, like if you feel apain, turn on as you touch the
same spot with your hand orlaying your hand over that spot.
Then you would do that againand again until that pain
lessened a little bit and thenyou'd move to another spot.
You keep moving to differentspots and these usually the
results of this will not bedramatic in one session.
This is something that you woulddo over a long period of time.
(15:39):
So I just went over a littledrill there.
We're looking at whatever'sgoing on with the body.
We're not resisting it, we'rebeing willing to be in the same
space as that.
We're flowing at someadmiration and then we're going
to try to figure out when wasthe first time that occurred and
recall what might have beengoing on at that time.
Don't worry if you're nottotally certain or whatever.
Just do your best, come back tothe moment and put your hand
(16:02):
over that spot, put yourattention on your hand and do
that, and you can do this forfive, ten minutes daily.
Right, you wouldn't necessarilydo the recall part of it every
day.
What you would do on a dailybasis would be to put your
attention on wherever that'shappening the pain and flow,
some admiration in there and putyour communication into that
area, basically, and then putyour hand on that area and this
(16:25):
very simple technique.
You can use this regularly.
It will improve healing and itwill improve your ability to
communicate with your body andbe in a good space with it.
Now, this is not going to getyou to the root cause of what's
going on psychosomatically, butit's a step in the right
direction.
It's a step and these are toolsthat you can use in your
(16:46):
day-to-day that will give yousome relief and start putting
you in a position where you'rereally able to heal from past
trauma, stress, toxicpersonalities, you name it.
So if you have been strugglingwith unexplained symptoms and
you feel there's a psychosomaticconnection, there's past stress
, trauma, toxic personalitiesthat you have attention on or
(17:07):
maybe have a feeling that thismay be connected, that's your
own knowingness and you are ableto know these things.
This is an area that is notunderstood that well in common
practice, so that's why I feltso passionate about sharing this
with you and with others, sothat you start to understand it.
And none of this information Icame up with on my own.
(17:27):
I have learned it and learnedhow to apply it, and I can go
over that with you as well, butthat's another conversation for
another episode.
So remember, you're not broken.
Your body's trying tocommunicate with you.
Listen to it, learn to listento it and you will start getting
gains that you may not haveexpected or known were even
possible.
(17:48):
Until the next episode go out,make it a great rest of your day
, enjoy yourself and thank youfor listening.
