Bodily Maps of Emotions
"We often think the emotions are something that happen only in the mind, but there's also lots of evidence suggesting that they also happen in our bodies"
Recent study has linked specific emotions to physical sensations. Researchers tested emotional responses in hundreds of subjects and then created maps identifying locations in the body where emotions cause physical changes. You can see the results in the video. But what's important, heavy negative emotions store as destructive energy in our cell memory. That may result in eventual health issues or unwanted emotional reactions under their control. For example; have you ever felt you don't want to react nervous in certain situations, but when they come you always react the same. Or if you felt sad and depressed, when circumstances were to be joyful. Well, that's when such stored energy from past experiences (personal or ancestral) controls our minds.
Thus we come to understand, that our karma in life is very much linked to the emotional wounds of the past. We are expressing what we've learned. We are dealing with this enormous emotional template we've learned from our parents and they learned from their parents. From the time we are born until adulthood all we are doing is imprinting. What's accumulated vertically in the lineage expresses horizontally; All the emotional wounds are not only experienced as energy in parts of our body, but stored as destructive energy in those parts; that's why our bodies start singing the familiar songs of sicknesses, as cancer or any other health or relational type of problems. You can think of it as an informational energy field connected to us, to our Aura. As Father said, "wherever we go we carry our ancestors with us, connected to our body."
Two separate studies proved that our emotions directly affect the world around us. In the presence of positive emotions, the coils of the DNA relaxed. In the presence of negative emotions, the DNA tightened. But also scientists observed the effect of DNA on our physical world. When human DNA was inserted into vacuum, the light photons stopped their random movement and precisely followed the geometry of the DNA. This is a new field of energy that connects everything. These experiments prove our emotions affect our DNA, and our DNA affects our physical world. Therefore, our emotions physically change the world around us.

Research found that happiness and love sparked activity across nearly the entire body, while depression had the opposite effect: It dampened feelings in the arms, legs and head. Danger and fear triggered strong sensations in the chest area, the volunteers said. And anger was one of the few emotions that activated the arms.
Negative Emotions weacken your body, while positive Emotions strengthen your body
Stress reduces body immunity and can exacerbate almost any symptom or disorder. Emotions are considered the major internal causes of disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Within reasonable limits, emotions cause no disease or weakness in the body. However, when emotions become so powerful that they become uncontrollable and overwhelming for a prolonged period, they can cause real injury to the internal organs and open the door to disease, by causing blockages in our meridian system, through which life-energy or “qi” flows.
Here are the Seven Primal Emotions. They are all Rewarding or Aversive:

PANIC Lonely & Sad
Each organ has it's own frequency vibration; with different emotions associated with it.
The 5 Negative Emotions:
2: Grief: Grief is stored in the lungs and when prolonged, can result in: Tightness in chest, Recurring bronchitis, Asthma, Pain in the chest shoulder and back, Cough, Dry mouth and throat, Hoarseness, Weight loss. “A British study found that people who eat two to five apples a week had a 32% lower risk of asthma than people who ate less.” New research shows that vitamin C protects the lungs. Kiwis are extremely high in vitamin C.
3: Worry: The stomach shoulders the long-term effects of worry, weakening digestive fire. This lowers hydrochloric acid production and can cause bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits while thinning gut lining. “Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.”
4: Stress: Stress makes everything worse, but it really targets the heart and brain, leading to anxiety disorders, heart palpitations, insomnia, muscle cramps, and brain fog. Deep breathing works wonders!), Exercise daily to release excess energy, so it doesn’t continue to circulate unproductively throughout your body.
5: Fear: Fear lives in the kidneys and can manifest as chronic adrenal fatigue with the never ending tired-but-wired feeling, frequent urination, urinary tract infections, back pain, and insomnia due to the inability to “let go” from not feeling safe.
Certain emotions are known to be associated with pain in certain regions of your body! Every feeling you have influences some part of your body, and anxiety can wreak mayhem on your physical health. So if you want to have more control over your physical health and well being, then take more control over your emotional well being. In modern medicine, we tend to take a very mechanical view of the body and the physiological functions of its component organs. But in many traditional medical systems, the internal organs were seen as being strongly affected by the emotions.
Sadness
If you have a lot of sadness in your life it will eventually make your energy to flow incorrectly. It may fester in your lungs, flow in the wrong direction or it may spread out. If new and vibrant energy is not allowed to come into your lungs, you may start coughing or you may become vulnerable to a virus and get a cold. The bottom-line is - our emotional well being affects our physical well being.
Depression
Those suffering from depression will often experience chest pains, even when there’s nothing physically wrong with their heart. The term ‘broken heart’ is real too as after losing a loved one, your risk of suffering a heart attack shoots up by 21 times!
Fear
The emotion of fear is related to the kidneys. This relationship can readily be seen when extreme fear causes a person to urinate uncontrollably. In children, this can also manifest as bed-wetting, which psychologists have linked to insecurity and anxiety. Long-term anxiety due to worrying about the future can deplete the functioning of the kidneys, eventually leading to chronic weakness.
Stress
When you're stressed, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which prepare your body to fight or flee. Your heart rate increases, your lungs take in more oxygen, your blood flow increases, and parts of your immune system become temporarily suppressed, which reduces your inflammatory response to pathogens and other foreign invaders. When stress becomes chronic, your immune system almost gives up. Now let’s see how our various emotions are affecting us…
Worry
A very common emotion in our stress-filled society, worry can deplete the life energy. This can cause digestive disturbances and eventually lead to chronic fatigue. A person who worries too much "carries the weight of the world on her shoulders."
Anger
Anger is associated with the liver. By its nature, anger causes life energy to rise, leading to a red face and red eyes, headaches, and dizziness. This matches the pattern of liver fire rising. Anger can also cause liver energy to "attack the temper," producing lack of appetite, indigestion, and diarrhea. In a more long-term view, suppressed anger or frustration often causes liver to become stagnant; this might result in depression or menstrual disorders.
Joy
The emotion of joy is connected with the heart. A disorder related to joy may sound perplexing, since most people want as much joy in their life as possible. The disorders from this emotion are not caused by happiness; rather, the imbalance comes from too much excitement or stimulation, or sudden good news that comes as a shock to the system. When evaluating stress levels, psychologists look at all sources of stress, both positive and negative.
Too much happiness can kill you! Clearly the death of a spouse or a job loss is a significant source of stress. However, a marriage or job promotion, while a happy occasion, is also a source of stress. A person who is constantly on the go, partying, and living a life of excess can eventually develop heart imbalances with palpitations, anxiety, and insomnia. A person with heart imbalances may also exhibit emotional symptoms, since the heart is the seat of the spirit. Such behavior results from the heart organ's inability to maintain a stable resting pace.
Shock
Shock is especially debilitating to the kidneys and heart. The "fight or flight" reaction causes an excessive release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys. This causes the heart to respond with palpitations, anxiety, and insomnia. Chronic stress from shock can be very debilitating to the entire system, causing a wide range of problems. Severe shock can have a long-term effect on the heart, as is evident in victims of post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Heart
The heart, being the principal organ of the Vital Faculty, is very sensitive to emotional states. Gracious, liberal, inspiring emotions like bravery, boldness, sincerity, frankness, unselfishness and empathy strengthen the heart, whereas immoral, constrictive, base emotions like weakness, nervousness, guilt, remorse, trickery and treachery weaken them.
Lungs
The lungs are sensitive and vulnerable to many of the same emotional states as the heart, and responds similarly. The lungs need a feeling of psychic space within which to function; the phrase, "breathing room" is a common expression. The feeling of being smothered, invalidated, or denied one's space can constrict the lungs and cause respiratory problems. Conversely, a feeling of dignity and pride puffs up the chest, and allows the lungs to expand and function properly.
Throat
The throat is the body's main communications center. An inability to come out and speak one's truth will often cause physical problems with the throat. The throat is also the upper end of the digestive tract. Acute emotional tensions and anxieties can agitate the Natural Force in the liver, causing it to rise and get bottlenecked in the throat; one then feels like one's choking on something. Emotional gushings of sadness, grief or intense sentimentality will also cause a lump in the throat.
Liver, Gall Bladder
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder, which makes these two organs vulnerable to negative Choleric emotions like anger, irritability, frustration, resentment, jealousy and envy. These negative Choleric emotions are stored in these organs, and can slowly eat away if allowed to fester. Anger and rage can explode upwards from the liver into the head, causing a lot of havoc in their wake: headaches, migraines; red, sore, bloodshot eyes; and muscular tension in the neck and shoulders.
Stomach
The stomach is a seething cauldron of emotions, and is intimately connected to the Gastric Center, or chakra, also called the Abdominal Center, which governs energy flow and distribution throughout the belly and gut. Choleric emotions like anger, hate, rage and frustration stored here lead to gastritis, ulcers and other Choleric stomach conditions.
Kidneys
Fright, fear and shock are most injurious to the kidneys. The energetic flow of these emotions is downwards, as they take away the foundation of security and self-assurance that we have. This also concerns the Root Center, or chakra, that root support or energetic foundation of strength and security that we have, which is closely connected to the kidneys and their balanced retention and evacuation of urine.
Brain
The brain comes last in our discussion of the emotional life of the organs because it's often the effect of humoral and metabolic imbalances arising elsewhere in the body, which send subtle vapors up to the brain to influence its functioning.
Be happy, stay healthy
Scientists don't yet fully understand the biological mechanisms at work, but they know that negative feelings like stress, sadness, and worry cause a spike in hormones that in turn suppresses the immune system. So, stay positive, stay happy and stay healthy!
HOW TO RELEASE TRAPPED EMOTIONS
When you feel some emotion, you are feeling certain frequency of energy, that can be released. The best part is, it can be released from distance. Once the trapped emotion is released, all the consequent problems from it are suddenly gone.
Physical Reaction from the Feelings
Feelings are often associated with physical reactions: terror can send chills down your spine, and love can leave you weak in the knees. A recent study has linked specific emotions to physical sensations. Researchers tested emotional responses in hundreds of subjects and then created maps identifying locations in the body where emotions cause physical changes.
We often experience emotions directly in the body. Going in the park to meet someone we love we walk lightly with our hearts pounding with excitement, whereas anxiety might tighten our muscles and make our hands sweat and tremble before an important job interview. Numerous studies have established that emotion systems prepare us to meet challenges encountered in the environment by adjusting the activation of the cardiovascular, skeletomuscular, neuroendocrine, and autonomic nervous system (ANS) (1). This link between emotions and bodily states is also reflected in the way we speak of emotions (2): a young bride getting married next week may suddenly have “cold feet,” severely disappointed lovers may be “heartbroken,” and our favorite song may send “a shiver down our spine.” Both classic (3) and more recent (4, 5) models of emotional processing assume that subjective emotional feelings are triggered by the perception of emotion-related bodily states that reflect changes in the skeletomuscular, neuroendocrine, and autonomic nervous systems (1). These conscious feelings help the individuals to voluntarily fine-tune their behavior to better match the challenges of the environment (6). Although emotions are associated with a broad range of physiological changes (1, 7), it is still hotly debated whether the bodily changes associated with different emotions are specific enough to serve as the basis for discrete emotional feelings, such as anger, fear, or happiness (8, 9), and the topographical distribution of the emotion-related bodily sensations has remained unknown. Here we reveal maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique computer-based, topographical self-report method (emBODY, Fig. 1). Participants (n = 701) were shown two silhouettes of bodies alongside emotional words, stories, movies, or facial expressions, and they were asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt to be increased or decreased during viewing of each stimulus. Different emotions were associated with statistically clearly separable bodily sensation maps (BSMs) that were consistent across West European (Finnish and Swedish) and East Asian (Taiwanese) samples, all speaking their respective languages. Statistical classifiers discriminated emotion-specific activation maps accurately, confirming independence of bodily topographies across emotions. We propose that consciously felt emotions are associated with culturally universal, topographically distinct bodily sensations that may support the categorical experience of different emotions.
