Soul muscle and belly yoga
My friend Céline Aubaud, who worked on my body for more than six months, sent me an article on the muscle of the soul. Céline has done a remarkable job of clearing the emotional blockages that I had stored during my long life. Thanks to his work, I regained the flexibility of a child.

One day, I am at Rishabh and Udai’s, we have lunch and I tell them about this famous muscle. They listen to me, and a wide smile blooms on Udai’s face.
He gets up and says “I’ll show you”
This is what I saw….
Video 2 was made in an emergency, when I got out of bed the morning I left. Udai is not wide awake. Rishabh films and says to him in Hindi: “Do the best … motherfucker !“.
Video 1 was made more calmly. Rishabh even added music…
Psoas : The soul muscle
The importance of the psoas for our health, vitality and emotional well-being.
The psoas is the deepest and most stabilizing muscle in the human body, affecting our structural balance, range of motion, joint mobility, and organ function in the abdomen.
It is the only muscle that connects the spine to the legs, responsible for standing up and allowing us to lift our legs to walk.
A healthy psoas stabilizes the spine and provides support through the trunk, and additionally a good shelf for the abdominal organs.
Some recent studies further consider the psoas, an organ of perception made up of bio-intelligent tissue that literally embodies our deepest desire to survive and flourish. That is to say, it is the primary messenger of the central nervous system, therefore considered as a spokesperson for emotions. This is because the psoas is connected to the diaphragm through connective tissue or fascia, and is therefore affected in both breathing and fear reflection.
An accelerated lifestyle and stress generate adrenaline that chronically tenses the psoas, preparing it to run, spring into action, or shrink to protect us.
If we constantly keep the psoas under tension due to stress, over time it begins to shorten and harden. Our position and the functions of the organs that reside in the abdomen will be complicated as a result, resulting in back pain, sciatica, disc problems, hip degeneration, painful menstruation or digestive problems.
On the other hand, a tense psoas sends signs of tension to the nervous system, interferes with fluid movement, and affects diaphragmatic breathing. In fact, the psoas is so intimately involved in fundamental physical and emotional responses that when under chronic strain, it sends continual danger signs to the body, which can impact adrenal gland exhaustion. and the immune system…
This situation is aggravated by the way we sit or the positions of our daily habits, which reduce our natural movements and build even more muscle.
A freed psoas allows the front of the thighs to be much more elongated and allows the legs and pelvis to move more fluidly and independently. Improves the position of the spine and the entire torso, with the consequent impact on the improvement of the functions of the abdominal organs, on breathing and on the heart.
When we cultivate the health of our psoas, our vital energies are revived and we release again with our creative potential.
In some Eastern philosophies the psoas is referred to as the ′′ muscle of the soul”, a main energy center of the body. The more flexible and strong the psoas is, the more our vital energy will be able to flow through the bones, muscles and joints.
The psoas would be like an organ for channeling energy, a core that connects us to the earth, allows us to create a solid and balanced support from the center of our pelvis.
Thus, the spinal column lengthens and through it can flow all our vitality.
Fasting is not just about food.
From the 3rd day of fasting, we go into the parasympathetic system, thus slowing down our entire nervous system, all our organs…and our psoas.
And there is the fascia
Fascia is connective tissue that provides internal support to hold our organs, muscles, nerves, bones and blood vessels in place.
The fascial line runs from the pelvic floor muscle to the jaw muscles. The slightest imbalances in the two areas affect each other.
This is why your pelvis needs you to relax your jaw, and how your jaw is a mirror of your pelvis.
