Trauma and the Psoas Muscle

The Mysterious Psoas Muscle

The deep rooted Psoas Muscle, can hold traumatic experiences on a cellular level. Trauma releasing exercises (TRE) or neurogenic tremoring can release trauma responses that have been locked there for years. So there’s quite a lot of mystery around the amazing psoas muscle. For good reason, the psoas (so-as) is the primary muscle that connects the body with the legs, which is a pretty big deal. The health of the psoas muscle affects our mobility, self esteem, sense of inner freedom and bodily comfort. It moves through the body, from the spine to the front of the hips, yep right through that deep vulnerable part of our body, the pelvis. Thus the psoas muscle is also known as our fight, flight and freeze muscle. So let’s explore this amazing part of our body in relation to healing from trauma and experiencing inner freedom.

Silence: Review, Reflect and Realise

Stop and Drop into Being

Life moves fast and we can get so caught up with the next thing, that we don’t take quiet reflection and assimilation time. Rest and Digest time is important to feel fully nourished. Taking quiet time and space to tune in and reflect can help wisdom to emerge with greater clarity. This can naturally lead us from reacting to life to flowing with and in fact as life itself.

Visiting Young Living Helichrysum Farm Croatia

I recently traveled to Croatia to see Young Living’s Helichrysum Farm with my husband Terry. Helichrysum is a special and very expensive oil from such a  little herb that grows wild among the rocks. I wanted to discover the story behind this bottle of oil we enjoy so much from the Young Living Essential Oils range. Quite the adventure unfolded in this beautiful country that lies along the Dalmatian Coastline, called such due to the Islands dotted all along the coastline. I am ever grateful for how being a YL distributer has opened up my life to discover far flung places holding nature’s hidden secrets.
