Gosh, I feel emotions all over my body. Anxiety is in my chest and stomach. Sadness is in my heart and shoulders. Lots of different things are in my back and shoulders. Tension can be in legs and arms. Sometimes I feel these chills going up my spine and out my head.
I think I experience myself as being behind my eyes a lot, so I feel like “I” exist in my head. I’m used to thinking that’s where my thinking takes place. But I guess I could move that around my body.
So I don’t really feel myself located in one part of my body. I’m really my whole body. I believe that the entire nervous system contributes to the process known of as thinking, so thinking occurs throughout the body. I do not think we could think without the body and when we lose limbs, we lose mental capacity.
My emotions are processed in my brain, so some extent, but they also bypass the brain in many cases. THere is no one location.
As if this question is not enough, you ask another big deal question about the soul. That’s too much for one question, and I’ve answered it in the past. I’m sure I’ll get a chance to answer it again.
