Where do characters feel their emotions?

Ana finds a body-emotion chart.



This is an interesting chart from a European scientific journal.  Using this data, anger appears most active in the head and shoulders. Depression makes the limbs lethargic.

Anxiety would be centered in the gut, heart, torso area. Disgust turns your stomach. Sadness immobilizes and pains the heart. Contempt is mostly cerebral. Surprise engages faculties and stimulates the chest.

Love stimulates face (can't stop smiling), chest (makes you want to sing), and groin (sex, anyone?).

Happiness makes you snuggly warm all over.
