SomaLab's calm world — a quiet wellness study with a soft blank body-outline chart on a stand, gentle lamplight and distant shelves

Feelings aren’t only in your head — they show up in your body, and each one has a shape. Bodhi the axolotl can feel every part of itself. Let’s map where feelings live, the way scientists did.

Where do you feel it?

Anger runs hot in the head and hands; sadness goes cool and heavy in the arms and legs; the belly buzzes for both nervous AND excited. Scientists asked hundreds of people to colour a body for each feeling — and the maps agreed. SomaLab lets you paint your own, compare, and see that the body’s heat is the energy dial from the feeling map. The maps are averages, never a diagnosis, there are no sensors, and nothing you paint is ever saved.
