palpable emotions

Can you map your emotions to body parts? Anxiety to the gut, anger/frustration to the back of the neck, depression to the chest? I've been reading some buddhist literature that talks about the re-inforcing interpretations that we put on bodily experiences of emotions. It has been useful for me to sit and experience the bodily sensations without adding to them the "thought" this means I am anxious, or this means I am angry, etc. Not in the sense of ignoring the emotions I may be having, but in the sense of experiencing the raw physical sensations as sensations -- it seems like when I choose to experience them my body gets 'comfortable' again much quicker than when I try to probe 'what am I really feeling.' Well, I suspect this is clear as mud, but there it is.
