Where the Body Says Yes
Where the Body Says Yes centers consent that is felt rather than negotiated.
It listens for agreement that arises from within the body—not from pressure, expectation, or explanation.
This piece supports listeners in recognizing the subtle, physical sense of “yes” that comes from safety and alignment. The sound does not persuade or encourage. It creates space for the body to respond in its own language.
Designed for those rebuilding trust in internal signals, this track affirms that consent does not need justification. A bodily yes is complete on its own.
The tones unfold with attentiveness and restraint, allowing sensation to lead. The body may lean in, soften, or simply remain neutral. All responses are valid.
Where the Body Says Yes is supportive for:
Practicing consent that is body-led
Trauma-informed listening rooted in agency
Reconnecting with internal agreement signals
Honoring yes without explanation
You do not need to convince yourself.
You do not need to explain your choice.
When the body says yes, that is enough.
