How Emotions Are Stored in the Body

Where Do Emotions Go?

Have you ever noticed your shoulders tighten when you’re stressed, or your stomach ache when you’re nervous? That’s because emotions don’t just exist in your mind , they live in your body, too. When emotions aren’t fully processed, they often get stored in the body as physical tension, pain, or discomfort.

How Emotions Show Up Physically

Different emotions tend to affect different areas of the body. Stress often shows up in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. Sadness can feel heavy in the chest. Anger sometimes builds up in the stomach or back. Over time, unprocessed emotions can create chronic tightness or fatigue, leaving you feeling weighed down physically and emotionally.

Why the Body Stores Emotions

Your body is designed to protect you. Sometimes when emotions feel too big to handle, the body stores them as a survival response. While this helps in the moment, holding onto emotions for too long can cause imbalance. That’s why practices like yoga, breathwork, Reiki, and chiropractic care can be so powerful, they help the body release stored emotions so you can feel lighter and freer.
