Hard to explain? Show me where it sits.
Sometimes we feel a lot in the body and can’t quite tell what it is. That’s okay, you’re not the only one. Scroll through this body map with me. We’ll go gently, one place at a time, with something small and kind to try at each.
Or tap the body wherever something is sitting today, and we’ll start there.
Notice and name
Sometimes the head just feels “weird”. It might be worry, a heavy or achy head, or thoughts that won’t stop looping. There’s a whole universe in there, and most of it never gets noticed. Let’s start small: what’s one thing you might be feeling in your head right now?
What I couldn’t say
Sometimes we want to say something, but the words won’t come out. Maybe it felt scary, or there was nowhere safe to say it, so the throat and shoulders started carrying it instead. Write one line here, to whoever or whatever it’s for. Nobody else will read it.
Or let it out without words: two long, slow sighs.
Hand on heart
When your chest feels heavy or too full, try this: rest one palm flat on it, feel it rise and fall under your hand, and stay for thirty seconds. It sounds small, but your own warm hand can be a kind place to come back to. Try it with me and watch the glow.
Breathe a little longer
Butterflies before a big day, a knot that won’t loosen, dread with no clear reason. The stomach often feels it before we can name it. Try breathing out a little longer than you breathe in: in for four, out for six, three rounds. I’ll breathe with you.
Come back to the ground
Some days everything in you wants to run, out of a room, a conversation, a feeling. Before you go anywhere, come back to where your feet are. Look around and tap each thing as you notice it, and watch a root grow with every tap.
Nothing on it is wrong.
Whatever showed up today is allowed to be there. That’s what body mapping is: you draw where a feeling sits in your body, what it makes you want to do, and what might be underneath. Once a feeling has a place on paper, it gets a little easier to be kind to it.
If something you met on the way is still sitting with you, we can map it together, one to one, at your pace.
Or keep scrolling and we’ll zoom out together.
You’re in good company out here.
Your map is one of many. Every light out here is a feeling someone has carried, and the gold ones are real words people have shared with us, kept without names. Hover or tap to read them.
New to this? What body mapping is
Where does it feel heavy today?

I study how people think, feel and change.
I’m a counselling psychology graduate student at the University of Toronto and a body mapping facilitator working with people across India. I help you notice where a feeling sits in your body, find words for it, and meet it with a little more kindness. Tee Talks is where that work lives: 1:1 sessions, small workshops, and writing on family, relationships and growing up.

See how it works for groupsBody mapping at Tee Talks is a reflective, psychoeducational practice. It is not therapy, diagnosis or crisis care.
The same feeling never looks the same twice.
There is no chart that says what a red mark on your chest means. Tap a feeling to see one way a map of it might look, then draw over it, or clear it and draw your own.
Pick one above, or just start drawing.

Things I keep thinking about.
Self-Compassion Does Not Translate
Why being kind to yourself can be hardest at home, and why there are fewer words for it there.
02What Body Mapping Does Not Do
There is no chart that says what a red mark on your chest means. Why the limits are the point.
03Two Questions I Ask Myself When I Start Overthinking
Rumination feels like problem solving and is not. Two questions that interrupt the loop.
04It Takes Six Seconds
The smallest reliable thing you can change in a relationship, and why the duration is the active ingredient.
05For the Daughters Who Learned That Being Good Meant Being Invisible
She never gives any trouble. Every one of those is a compliment about absence.

A question, an idea, a topic?
Message us on WhatsApp or email: something you want mapped, written about or talked through. Tushti reads everything that comes in.
One hour, one feeling, one map.
You bring one feeling or one situation. Together we map it in four layers: where it sits in the body, what emotion comes with it, what it makes you want to do, and what the mind says. You leave with the map and one thing to try.
