    What a terribly reductionist POV.

    A few antidotes:

    study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )

    study some real yoga (not stretching

    but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )
