It doesn't make sense to feel anger when you're focusing just on your physical body, as your body is pretty neutral, unless you've got some deeply negative feelings that need to be addressed.

OK so are those techniques for people who are absolutely not able to focus on their emotions otherwise? I'm not naturally focused on them myself but I can make myself tune in to stuff if I want to. So I don't know if that's why I feel this stuff is unnecessary even thought I was told I seriously lacked emotional awareness?
The techniques I tried involve focusing on your body to bring up feelings. I'm not sure if that's real or what, not sure on the mechanism of this beyond the general idea that emotions do manifest in the body, but yes I did get a feeling of anger in many places.
Can you say more on this idea of this being proof for having hidden deeply negative feelings?
