The Traditional Chinese Medicine categorization of the seven emotions is the following: grief, melancholy, fear, fright, anger, joy, worry. The organs most affected by emotional states are the heart, liver and spleen. Good health is believed to come from balancing the Yin and Yang energies. Yang is generally associated with items or concepts that are bright, warm, and in motion. Yin is generally associated with objects or ideas that are dark, still and cold.
