Rasa Yoga - Emotions & the Body

Both the Indian yogis and the Daoist yogis in China noticed a correlation between particular emotions and certain areas of the body: fear is centered in the kidneys, anger in the liver, worry in the stomach, fright in the heart, and grief in the lungs.
These associations make a lot of intuitive sense, even to us Westerners: when we grieve, our lungs go into spasm (called crying); when we are frightened, suddenly our heart skips a beat (or we suffer a heart attack and become ‘frightened to death!’); when we fret, the rate of ulcers rises; when our liver becomes damaged, we may subject our loved ones to bouts of extreme rage (as most families of alcoholics are only too aware); and when we are afraid, our adrenal glands activate readying to run away or fight that which confronts us.
Fortunately, we are also beneficiaries of positive emotions as well: the home for beauty is in the lungs, joy in the heart, creativity in the stomach, kindness in the liver, and wisdom in the kidneys.

Through the practices of yoga , we can work through various movements with the hips. This ensures the joint stays lubricated, and maintains flexibility in the muscles and tissues surrounding it.

As you practice body awareness through yoga, you become mindful that there isn’t just physical tightness in the hips, but emotional. It’s where we store our emotional vulnerabilities leading to blocked energy.

When you practice a hip opener sequence on a regular basis you notice an improvement in your range of motion, reduction in tightness and that wonderful emotional release. You’ll also see improvement in the rest of your practice, improved circulation and increased energy levels.

Yoga can help us become more consciously aware of our posture. This enables us to stabilize and revitalize our hips by working the correct muscles around the joint to bring us into alignment.

Balancing the two sets of muscles, the abductors and glutes, will help stabilize the thighbone in the hip
