So I've been trying to connect with my body throughout the day and see where different feelings and impulses are located. By "located" I don't actually mean that the cognitions are there, but that there's some (ugh, I hate using this word, but...) energy in that area. Maybe "physiological arousal" is a better term. For example, I think I've noticed that jealousy is felt strongly in the chest area.

For this thread, I wanted to focus more on the functions, though. I've noticed that when I go into Ne mode, I get disconnected from my body and move all my attention to my head. Incidentally, I think this is one of the reasons ENTPs tend to feel disconnected and empty -- they disconnect themselves from their center over and over. Anyway, the question is: where do the functions reside? Bonus points for describing where non-MBTI related emotions are experienced.

Where is your SEVERE INSANITY located? Bonus points for that, I guess.

In the middle of the DANGER ZONE, of course.

I'd be shooting in the dark here, otherwise known as mere guessing.
