I’m realizing that emotions mostly live in the body, and if you don’t process them, they kind of get stuck and you start feeling weird.
What techniques do you know for working with that?
The main technique I’m using is this one:
deep breathing, naming the emotion, noticing where it sits in the body, letting it fully be there for a moment (like a color), and then releasing it — imagining it leaving through the heels.
I also do some somatic movement: light dancing, moving the hips and shoulders, fingers, bouncing, and simple yoga, like Surya Namaskar.
I’m curious if there are other approaches that work well for you. Would love to hear about them.
