Emotions and memories have physical markers in your body. According to the molecular biologist and neuroscientist Dr. Candice Pert, the surfaces of every cell throughout our body are lined with “receptors” that receive messages through neuropeptides, which are small protein molecules that relay information throughout our body and brain. Dr. Pert calls these peptides the “molecules of emotion,” explaining that the information relayed and stored throughout our brain and body is emotions.
