Yet AGAIN! People…just listen. Connection to our body!

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE. 🧠➡️🫀

You go to therapy.
You talk about your problems.
You understand why you feel this way.
But you still feel the knot in your stomach and the pressure in your chest.
Why? Because trauma is not just a cognitive memory — it is a physiological imprint. ⚡

Fascia is the connective tissue network that wraps every muscle, organ, and nerve.
It is a sensory organ, with more nerve endings than the skin or the eyes. 🧬

When you experience acute stress or trauma and cannot “fight or flee” (you freeze), that enormous kinetic energy gets trapped.
The fascia contracts to protect you — like body armor. 🛡️
Over time, it becomes dehydrated and stiff.

In 2026, somatic neuroscience confirms what osteopaths already knew:
👉 Fascia has memory.
• Fear is stored in the Psoas (the “muscle of the soul”). 😨
• The burden of responsibility is stored in the Trapezius muscles. 🎒
• Unexpressed anger is stored in the Jaw (mandible). 😬

As long as this physical tension remains, your brain receives a constant “DANGER” signal from the body (interoception). 🚨
You cannot relax your mind if your body is screaming.

This is where Myofascial Release and Somatic Therapies (such as TRE or Somatic Experiencing) come in. 🤲
By physically manipulating tissue or inducing neurogenic tremors, you “break” the energetic cyst.
That’s why during a deep massage or a yoga session, people often start crying for no apparent reason.
It’s not new sadness — it’s old sadness leaving the tissue. 💧

To heal the mind, sometimes you have to stop talking and start moving the connective tissue. 🔄

💡 TIP (Psoas Release)

“The psoas is the emotional trash bin of the body.”

Daily exercise:
• Lie on your back
• Place a yoga block or firm cushion under your sacrum (pelvis)
• Stretch one leg while pulling the other knee to your chest
• Breathe deeply into your lower abdomen 🌬️
• If you feel sharp sensations or emotions, it’s normal
• Hold for 2 minutes per side

🌹🧘‍♀️🌹Right alignment matters more than how high you lift your arms.

🔴 Left Pose (❌ Incorrect):
Shoulder blades are squeezed too hard and lifted toward the ears. This overactivates the upper traps, creates neck tension, and limits proper shoulder mobility. Over time, it may cause stiffness or pain in the neck and upper back.

🟢 Right Pose (✅ Correct):
Shoulder blades are gently drawn down and wide, ribs stay neutral, and arms extend upward with length. This allows the scapulae to move naturally, activating the right muscles without strain.

Benefits of the Correct Pose:
✔️ Improves shoulder mobility
✔️ Strengthens upper back and stabilizing muscles
✔️ Reduces neck and shoulder tension
✔️ Enhances posture and body awareness

Remember: Lift with length, not tension. Move smart, not forcefully. 🧘‍♀️
