‘Pelvis as the body’s emotional junk drawer!’
|
You can use movement to release tension in your body. The hips may store emotional stress, and so certain hip-opening stretches may make a big difference

Getting to know your hips
The hip is the area on each side of the pelvis. The joint itself is one of the largest and most unique joints in the human body, responsible for bearing weight, stabilizing the core, and moving the upper leg. The tighter your hips are, the less mobility your body has. This can result in pain and hinder daily activities like walking and climbing stairs. Tight hips can also cause an anterior tilt of the pelvis which results in poor posture and misalignment of the head and neck. This goes to show how important the hips are when it comes to how the entire body functions.The big story within the hips revolves around the iliopsoas muscle — a deep muscle group located toward the front of the inner hip. The psoas is the deepest support of our core. The pelvis is full of our creative, reproductive organs and contains the centrally located psoas muscle that connects the upper and lower body (the breath and diaphragm to the legs) making the core of our body important both physically and emotionally,”. When you’re stressed, your emotional and physical health can both suffer. People with trauma or other mental health conditions like anxiety and depression often experience physical symptoms as well.Of course, each body is different. Where one person holds stress in their body may not be exactly the same for another. However, neuroscience and somatics point to the hips as a potential storage vessel of emotions. They also offer a window into emotional healing
Concept of Root chakra- MULADHAR CHAKRA
The chakras are the seven centres of energy that move through your subtle body, starting at the crown of your head and traveling down to the base of your spine. When spinning properly, each chakra allows energy to flow through the body. However, if one of these wheels is blocked, your well-being can suffer. The first chakra, muladhara, or “root chakra,” acts as the root of the body. If your root chakra is out of alignment, you may feel depressed, anxious, or even constipated. The first chakra, called muladhara, is located at the base of the spine deep in pelvic floor. “Muladhara” means root, and is associated with the earth element, linked to your ability to dig in and feel firmly rooted in your life. Its associated color is red, hence its links to the earth. This energy center is associated with your sense of security, stability with surroundings & with your own body or skin. It provides you with a base or foundation for life. When energy is flowing through the first chakra, you feel firmly grounded in yourself and the world around you.your body is your subconscious mind,” and that the physical body can change depending on what we’re feeling. emotions are electrochemical signals that carry emotional messages throughout the body. They are then expressed, experienced, and stored within the body and mind. This can influence activity in the brain and change the cell to either have a positive or negative effect on the body. each cell carries a kind of consciousness that stores memories and emotional states.
Signs of blocked MULADHAR energy
Physical signs : The Root Chakra is associated with the physical body that includes the adrenal glands, colon, kidneys, skeleton/bones, muscles, and arterial blood that flows through the left chamber of the heart, carrying oxygen and nutrients to our body tissue. Blocked energy in root chakra may lead to feel lethargic & physically drained, problems in the colon & with the bladder (unusual weight gain in pelvic region), irregular menstrual activity, unable to eliminate or detox body’s regular substitutes through excretory system, either you eat too less or too much or tendency to have midnight heavy meal, always have disturb sleep cycle.
Mental signs : When your root chakra is blocked, you might experience some of the following: Increased distractibility, rushing from one task to another, feeling exhausted or lethargic, Increased feelings of anxiety, stress or depression, feeling stuck, Inability to take action, you are always tired, you wonder why your career goes nowhere, your mind adopts a tendency that world is trying to pull you down, mind caries clouds of assumptions which never match with the reality.
