I suspect that there is a correlation between places where emotions get stored and phrases such as “a lump in the throat”, “a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach”, “heart ache”, “bated breath” and also things like tension headaches, and incontinence from fear. Interestingly these locations in the body correlate with the chakras. This is consistent with my belief that kundalini, which is supposedly released by meditating on the chakras, is a physiological phenomenon related to releasing stored emotions.

Sometimes people make fists when thinking angry thoughts so I think it’s possible that the hands might also store emotions.
