Product Overview
Sometimes called our ‘early warning signs’, body signals are the physical cues that let us know when we’re stressed, unsafe, excited, or experiencing strong emotions. Recognising these signals is vital for building protective behaviours, emotional awareness, and resilience.
Body Signals® is a beautifully illustrated set of 40 cards featuring a playful mob of meerkat characters. Each card highlights a different body signal, from butterflies in the tummy to a racing heartbeat, helping people build the language to describe and respond to what their body is telling them.
Perfect for pre-schoolers transitioning to school, young people navigating friendships, or adults learning to manage stress, Body Signals® is a powerful tool for counselling, classrooms, or everyday family conversations.
Every set comes with bonus access to the Body Signals® Digital Toolbox – a digital version of the cards and booklet, plus an expanding collection of blogs, card hacks, videos, and activities to use anywhere.

Linking Body Signals to emotions and response
“One challenge I faced with children and teens was helping them link emotions to physical sensations. Many struggled to identify what they felt in their bodies. I discovered the Body Signals cards as a fun, practical way to build this awareness.
I recently launched an emotions workbook focused on connecting mind and body, and the cards play a key role. Using them with body-outline worksheets, clients map physiological sensations for specific emotions—and the results have been amazing. If you work with kids or teens, I highly recommend adding Body Signals cards to your toolkit.”
