Mapping How Emotions Manifest in the Body

I found this interesting article in the Atlantic and thought I'd share the link. As someone just learning how to notice how emotions feel in my body, I found this article particularly relevant.

I believe that Dr Sarno mentions somewhere in Healing Back Pain and/or The Divided Mind, how during the early 1950s Franz Alexander was noting the kinds of correspondence shown in the Atlantic article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Alexander

Dr Sarno also notes how no one today has continued Alexander's work, but this article seems to call that into doubt.

Very interesting article!

 

Let's have a little pole to see if there is any truth behind it

My result, although a bit subjective, on a scale of 0-10 (0=not even close, 10=exactly right): 7

...and thanks for the post Ellen.

Hi, spiralgirl. Thanks for sharing the body heat article.
We'll all have to work on getting the happiness look in our bodies.
It must all come from how we feel about ourselves and our lives.
The more we like ourselves, the more we can feel it internally and
spread the light and heat to others in our lives.

We all know people who seem to spread light, and others who spread the dark.
Maybe a good new year's resolution would be to try to spread more light.
