Trauma & Anxiety Relief: Psoas Pose

Trauma/anxiety are often held in the psoas muscle group. This muscle group attaches the legs to the front of the spine and pelvis to the upper torso. It is considered to hold the majority of the "fight or flight" nerves. It is activated to brace ourselves and prepare for danger. This muscle group often becomes overly tense after trauma and during times of anxiety. This meditative pose can help to relax this muscle group, increase emotional regulation, and increase body/emotional awareness.

I just learned about the psoas muscle today. Thank you for this easy meditation and movement. I will add it to the trauma work. I do for a deeper healing.🌻🦋🙏

This movement really helps with pain related to the psoas. Thanks! the only improvement I could recommend is that you add an instruction to relax the leg once you return it to the chair before proceeding to stretch the alternating leg. That release of tension seems to be important.

Thanks this is great.

Great connecting a meditation with the Psoas muscle. It’s very powerful as it could access emotional flow through this muscle. Possibly this could be the muscle of soul. Thanks for creating this important meditation.

Thank 🙏 you
