We refer to ‘gut reactions’ because our digestive tract is massively endowed with nervous tissue which reacts intensely to emotional events.
⠀
Emotions are also felt throughout the body: think of the ‘burning cheeks’ of embarrassment, the ‘weak knees’ of foreboding, or the trembling hand of anxiety.
⠀
Even gut reactions are different according to the emotion experienced: fear is frequently felt quite low in the abdomen (near the bowels, large intestines, or, sacral chakra), while anger is felt higher up, in the stomach or above (liver & gallbladder region – or solar plexus).

Are you seeing the link between being psycho-spiritually in turmoil and your gut health?
