Belly Love: Why Do We Need It?
Have you loved your belly today? Do you know how important our bellies are to our overall health, strength, and well-being as women? It’s literally the center of our bodies. Safe and effective movement comes from our core. It's our center of digestion and helps regulate our nervous systems and even our emotions via the vagus nerve, our internal organs, and our energy centers and channels including the chakras, nadis, and meridians.
So many women feel disconnected from their bellies and even dislike or hate and put them down. Our bellies can be a sensitive area, emotionally and physically.
Unlocking the Secrets of the Psoas Muscle
Most people haven’t heard of the iliopsoas muscle, generally called the psoas (“so’ az”), much less know where it is. Think of the psoas when you enjoy that swing in your hips!
Many people, both women and men, deal with psoas issues: pain in low back, hips, thighs, abdomen during bowel movements, while standing or hanging, even difficulty breathing. You might call it a “deep feminine” muscle as it can also hold deeply buried emotions and tension, just like the pelvic floor. Bellydance therapy and specialized somatic bodywork can help bring it back into balance.
