The Pelvis and Flower Essences

As mentioned in the previous Pelvic Wisdom Whispering: This particular area of the body holds an energy vortex active in the hips and the pelvic floor, governing our vital well-being and ability to manifest. A major “Power Center” in our body. It involves creativity and collaboration. Therefore, it deals with our relationships and how we process the emotions involved in interacting with others.

Processing emotions can be a tricky thing, especially when it comes to relationships and the pelvic region of the body. After all, first off, what is your definition of “processing”? Does that mean really working through what that particular emotion brings forward for an individual – a memory or event from long ago, or a need to physically act out the emotion, like anger (or even sadness or grief).  If so, what kind pandora’s box might you be opening up at session time? Or, is “processing” an emotion merely recognizing it exists and has an attachment to a memory / event which seems to have settled in a particular area of the body and is now being recalled during the session?

Emotionally the pelvis can be a place of comfort, security and love; however it can also hold  traumatic memories:

Of childhood trauma – possibly  disciplinary spanking that took place years ago

Of adolescence trauma – sexual exploration and sexual inexperience events

Of adulthood trauma – possibly an abusive spouse or maybe even rape.

Sometimes during a session these events and memories will come forward, releasing out of the body tissues and can become quite vivid in there recall. Seeking out a trained professional counselor can be very helpful in order to work through the traumatic events and receive some tools to help a client move forward.

After a session there are times when a client benefits from self-care in order to continue to take steps toward feeling balanced in their body and life. Flower Essences can, and do, help with the emotional release which takes place during and after a session.
