Hi,

I really have enjoyed your series on somatics. It’s one of the better sequenced discussion on the topic.

For the topic of emotions I wanted to hear more about the somatic relatonship between emotions and the somatic experience. How is anger when one is fully centered in one’s soma? How is one sad when the micro-muscular configuration of great joy is held physically and with a neuro context? I think there’s alot more interaction, influence of the emotions with the underpinning neurosomatic structure.

I agree that there’s a life of emotions and I think that it’s not the control of emotions but rather the influence of emotions.

Reflections on this?
