  1. Chapter 13: Section 4 Expressed emotions

  2. Angry Face Our angry face is a radar for threats. Using stimuli found that people more speedily detect an angry face more than a happy one.

  3. Fear Face Fear increases our range of vision, speeds up eye movement and improves air flow through the nose. All  of these reactions boost our ability to see or smell threats and prepare ourselves for the “fight or flight” response, where we either battle it out with our attacker or take to our heels.

  4. Happy Face Happiness is caused by serotonin & dophamine. These OJAS (Original Joy Activating Substances) is the 'stuff' that the body's inner intelligence creates to make 'happy molecules' in our mind-body system. It is what causes happiness at a subtle level.

  5. Sad face The act of crying allows the body's chemistry to do some re-balancing. Without the cleansing action of tears, high levels of stress chemicals remain in the blood stream. The human body produces its own natural calming substances called endorphins. The secretion of endorphins occurs in conjunction with crying. This helps us to understand how it is that we can cry and sob and in so doing relieve the build-up of tensions within us and experience calm in the wake of our tears. So we know that crying is a physiologically based coping mechanism for our grief. It moves us towards the end of our mourning.
