🌹👍🌹🗑️ THE BODY’S EMOTIONAL TRASH BIN

Have you ever taken a yoga class and, when deeply opening your hips, suddenly felt like crying for no reason?
You’re not crazy. You’ve touched your psoas. 😮‍💨

The Psoas Major is the deepest hip flexor muscle.
Physically, it allows you to lift your leg to walk.
Neurologically, it is the fight-or-flight muscle 🏃‍♂️⚡

When you feel fear or stress, the brain sends a signal:
“Curl up to protect the organs!”
The psoas contracts instantly.

😰 THE MODERN PROBLEM

We live in chronic stress:
📧 emails
🚗 traffic
📰 constant news

But we never run or fight. We stay seated.
That “escape energy” gets trapped in the psoas.

Over time, the muscle becomes:
• Chronically tense
• Short
• Dry

Because the adrenal glands (adrenaline) sit right above the kidneys and rest on the psoas, a tight psoas constantly stimulates them — keeping you in a permanent state of alert and background anxiety ⚠️🧠

🔓 FREEING THE PSOAS

Releasing the psoas isn’t just about easing lower back pain.
It’s about emptying the emotional recycling bin of the last 10 years 🧹💭

🌿 VITALIZATE TIP (The Release)

Constructive Rest Pose
👉 Don’t force a stretch if you’re very tense.

1️⃣ Lie on your back on the floor
2️⃣ Bend your knees and place your feet on the ground, hip-width apart
3️⃣ Let your knees gently fall toward each other (resting)
4️⃣ Place your hands on your lower belly 🤍

Stay there for 10–15 minutes ⏳
Gravity will allow the femur to “drop” into the hip socket, and the psoas will release on its own.

You may feel:
✨ Trembling
🔥 Warmth

Let it happen.

🧠 CONNECTION

Your psoas connects your legs to your spine — and your survival instincts to your nervous system.

Eagle Pose, or Garudasana, is a balancing pose that requires both focus and strength. It targets the lower body while enhancing mental clarity and coordination. The posture works to strengthen the legs, improve joint stability, and increase flexibility in the shoulders and upper back. By holding your arms and legs in a cross-legged position, you engage your core muscles, which stabilizes the body.

As you hold the posture, feel the grounding energy in your feet while your upper body lengthens and stretches. The mental focus required to hold the pose helps cultivate concentration and can be a great tool for reducing stress. This posture serves as a reminder that balance isn't just physical—it’s also mental.

Make Eagle Pose a part of your practice to improve both body and mind. It’s a fantastic pose for increasing concentration and building lower body strength. As you deepen your connection with the pose, feel the release of tension and the clarity of focused energy. 🦅🌊
