The map of emotions in our body

'What are the sounds of the body ?'

Here is below a link to an article of Le Figaro (French magazine):

And a video from Francetv on the very same subject :

We are emotional animals.

Boris Cyrulnick, (French neuro-psychiatrist) already tells us for a long time about our ' emotional food’ .

We do live with emotions every single  micro second of our lives. 

Conscious and unconscious emotions. 

This, since the beginning of our conception.

Each and every one of these emotions have a systematic impact on our body: helping to maintain our good health or damaging it ;

These emotions are created from our direct and indirect, conscious and unconscious inter-relations with our wider environment: family ( near or far , people from our generation, from more distant generations ) ; professional, cultural , geographical , emotional environments etc ... etc ... etc ...

We all are connected;

The interest of better perceiving our emotions is to be able to feel what is happening in our body  

- changes in breathing and heartbeat : amplitude, rhythm; the wetness or dryness of the hands, feet, mouth or nose; the rhythm of eyelid mouvement, the color of the skin and its warmth; the dilation of the pupil , an internal pressure , headaches . . . . ( The list is endless ) - 

and knowing which emotional state we are in in a given of situation.

The next step may be to :

Better position oneself when in a given situation,

Choose to be more in control of what is happening in us, and so outside of us, for deciding to do something ... or not

Provoke or refuse a situation for triggering a specific emotion.

Get to know oneself better !

Feeling and recognizing a physical sensation is interesting for understanding that one environment is favorable or not to us. 

Without necessarily having an intellectual analysis or objective facts on which to rely.

Identify what is happening in our body can be learned. Exercises do exist.

I like to read in this above article :

"Happiness is the only emotion that leads to an increase of the entire body activity. "

Another delight to read :

" For a given emotion , we all feel the same physical sensation, whatever our culture of origin. "

In my coaching work, I always invite the person to focus on their body sensations.  

They represent internal informations about our emotional state that the left brain (the one which does analyze) sees only rarely or not at all.

For that, I can use the EFT, visualization, relaxation . . .

I believe that pain, illness, somatic dysfunction are related to a traumatic emotion.

Our body is a fabulous source of knowledge about ourselves. Why depriving yourself from it !

Whether you choose to ignore these messages or forge a more intimate relationship with them, your emotions run through your body envelope and has an impact on it. 

At all times .

Body and mind always work together. It’s a powerful pair. Emotions are their interface.

The wonderful and infernal human pair  !

Let’s trust our body, it has so much to reveal to us about ourselves !

Wishing you a fabulous week !
