Walking on Sunshine
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” ~Søren Kierkegaard
In our modern world built around vehicles, many of us identify them as the primary movers of our bodies. Walking is a reminder that, indeed, we are and have bodies that need to move on their own on a regular basis and for functional daily purposes. The original purpose of exercise and movement is not to achieve an image at all costs but to survive and thrive in nature as a physical being.
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.
