Where Do I Feel It?
Emotions show up in the body: a tight chest, a knot in the stomach, heavy legs. Map where you feel each one to build somatic awareness and put words to what’s happening inside.
Pick a feeling, then tap the parts of your body where you notice it. You can mark more than one feeling. Whatever feels true for you right now counts.
Marking: Anger
Your body map
Nothing marked yet. Pick a feeling and tap the body.
Inspired by research mapping where people feel emotions in their bodies (Nummenmaa, Glerean, Hari & Hietanen, 2014, PNAS). Everyone’s map looks a little different.
