In my last article, “The First Step,” I suggested that you ask yourself a series of questions in order to determine what lies the true root of your illness, whatever it may be. In this article, I want to invite you to complete a small task that will help you determine where your emotions are located in your body. You will make a kind of map of where emotions live within yourself, which will have a positive effect on understanding your current state. Please take a piece of paper and draw on it with a simple pencil the outline of your body, as you imagine it. Then, relax and feel where in your body, in what parts of it, you feel pleasant feelings. Take a blue pencil and lightly shade these places on the body outline you have drawn. Afterwards, feel where the unpleasant feelings live in you and mark these places on the sheet with the outline of your body with a purple pencil. Now, feel in which part of the body you feel relaxation, and color these places on the outline with yellow. Feel where the tension is in your body and color in those places on the outline with brown. Feel where the cold lives in your body, and mark these places in blue on the outline. Feel the warmth in your body and mark these places on the outline in orange. Then, feel the location of the pain and mark in gray these places or the place on your contour. Then you should proceed as follows. Below is a list of feelings and emotions, try, by examining your body, to discover which of them live in your body, where they are located and mark them with different colors, different shading or symbolism, just be sure to make notes for yourself, what and with what you mark at least on the margins of the sheet with the outline of the body. It doesn't matter if you don't find anything on this list inside your body. However, it may happen that you find those feelings and emotions that may not be on this list, be sure to mark them. List of feelings and emotions: love, joy, tenderness, jubilation, gratitude, peace, inspiration, bliss, jubilation, sadness , grief, melancholy, emptiness, loneliness, grief, hopelessness, helplessness, regret, dissatisfaction, despondency, despair, anger, anger, bitterness, frustration, rage, envy, jealousy, irritation, resentment, contempt, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, worry , shyness, surprise, confusion, panic. After you finish. Put your drawing aside for a while and relax. Then, start analyzing. Look carefully at your work and decide: 1. Which feelings did you find more in your body - negative or positive?2. Which parts of the body have the greatest concentration of negative feelings and emotions? What do you usually feel in these parts of the body?3. What senses are most dense in your body?4. Which sense occupies the largest part of the body compared to others? What is the feeling of being in second place in the occupied space, and what is it of being in third?5. Are there any patterns in the arrangement of feelings and what?6. What conclusions can you draw by looking at your drawing? Good luck to you and new discoveries.
