Mapping emotions in the body

Mapping emotions in the body is noticing where in the body a feeling is felt. Research shows that different emotions are felt in fairly consistent regions of the body; this points to the concreteness of the link between emotion and body. Finding the place of a feeling lets a person make more direct contact with that emotion. This mapping turns an abstract emotion into a concrete experience. Seeing where an emotion is in the body can be a way of understanding it.
