Hips

are a complex set of joints responsible for supporting your body’s weight and allowing you to move in a variety of ways. The hips are also closely connected to the sacral chakra, which is associated with emotions and creativity. Many people believe that the hips play a role is storing emotional trauma.

The psoas muscle, which is located in the lower back and connects the the hip joint, is particularly susceptible to holding tension and trauma. When you experience a traumatic event, your body may instinctively contract and tighten the psoas muscle as a way of protecting itself. Over time, this tension can become chronic and lead to a rand of physical and emotional symptoms.

Symptoms of stored trauma in the hips can vary wildly, but may include:

• Chronic pain or stiffness in the hips or lower back.

• Difficulty relaxing or feeling comfortable in hip-openers.

• Feelings of anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness.

• Difficulty expressing emotions or feeling creative.

The mind-body connection is a powerful tool that can be used to help release stored trauma. The brain and body are interconnected and trauma can affect both. When trauma occurs, it can create a stress response in the body, which can lead to physical tension and emotional distress. Emotional tension in the hips can manifest in a variety of ways, including pain, stiffness and discomfort. This tension can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress and anxiety. By addressing the emotional aspects of the trauma stored in the body, you can help to release this tension and improve overall mental and physical health.
