I'm actually going to bring my 'emotional map' into class on a poster that I've laid out instead of using it as a picture collection on my post. I'm a very visual and hands-on learning so I felt like this type of presentation best represented me the best. It's based upon the 7 Chakras from Hindu philosophy/religion and the yogic tradition. Just to give you some background information, the word 'chakra' is a Sanscrit word meaning circle or wheel. Therefore the idea behind the chakras is that each is a spinning, changing, moving, and circular energy channel that represents a specific region of the body in correlation with a specific type of energy and certain emotions/thoughts/characteristics. Of course it varies from person to person which actually makes this template so awesome in utilizing it for my emotional map. I definately have a strong mind/body/spirit connection that I am continually learning to develop and making this map has helped me to hash that out on tangible terms which is definately a challenge, but also really interesting for me to see. Hopefully when you see my project you'll feel the same.
