🔥 Body heat IS the energy dial

Line the feelings up by how much of the body lights up (their activation). Notice something: the ones that light up the MOST are the high-energy feelings, and the quiet-body ones are the low-energy feelings. The body’s heat is the same “energy” axis you know from the feeling map — felt from the inside.

Excited higher energy
Anger higher energy
Happiness higher energy
Love higher energy
Anxious higher energy
Fear higher energy
Calm lower energy
Sadness lower energy

🦋 The butterflies are BOTH

Here’s a famous one: the buzzing, fluttery belly you get before a big moment is the same body signal for two different feelings —

ExcitedA buzzing belly and chest — the butterflies. Very high energy.

AnxiousA churning belly and tight chest — the SAME butterflies as excited, read a different way. High energy.

Same flutter — the difference is the situation, not the sensation. That’s why a scary thing and an exciting thing can feel weirdly alike, and why "reading it as excited" can genuinely help.

🫁 Notice, don’t measure

You don’t need a gadget to read your body — and SomaLab has no sensors of any kind.

Count without a gadget

Sit still and see if you can FEEL your own heartbeat — in your chest, your neck, your fingertips. You’re not measuring it; you’re noticing it. Noticing your body is the first step of every feeling.

The one lever you own

You can’t tell your heart to slow down — but you CAN slow your breath, and the heart often follows. The breath is the one body signal you can move on purpose. Try it: in for four, out for six.
