Each experience registers a cellular memory in the bodymind, and the bodymind takes on the shape of that experience including the emotions, feelings and thoughts. There is a shape to anger, fear, disappointment, joy, happiness and every other emotion that exists. We take on these shapes in our bodyminds in different ways.
